For the Christmas weeks, Judith has assigned the flying geese borders on her Kindred Spirits QAL. It gives us time to make them amid family Christmas commitments and children off school and allows a little extra time for anyone who needs it to catch up on a block or two, or three!
These are the largest flying geese I think I've ever stitched at 3" x 5.5" unfinished, but it was actually really nice to work with bigger ones for a change. Judith's video tuition was superb as always, showing us more than one technique for creating accurate geese. I used both methods because sometimes I didn't have enough of a particular fabric to cut for the no-waste method but it was a good way to compare each. I liked the speed of the no-waste method, but somebody else will always have to do the maths for me if ever use it again ;-)
As you can see, I've been able to attach the top border of flying geese already and the bottom one is waiting patiently for another few weeks while the final blocks get made. I can hardly believe there's just one month of this fabulous QAL left. I'm psyching myself up to stay on track and try to have a finish in the allotted timeframe. Now, that will be an achievement!!
I hope you are all managing a little fun stitching in these days between Christmas and New Year.
