These rows of flying geese are the start of the "Blooming Tale" pattern below right. It's an all paper-pieced pattern that is one of those epic projects that will be on-going for a long, long time!
Below are the 4 placemats I made Friday to bring to friends who've just moved into their new house. We don't know them very well and wondered if this would be a gift they'd use. They invited us for dinner tonight (Saturday) and after some nice conversation, the husband offered to set the table. "Do we have any placemats?" he asked his wife of only 2 years? Umm, not really. It was then I suggested they open the gift I'd brought. They were thrilled with them--and I was tickled that I'd picked something they could really use!
Have a great quilting week!

Nice placemats! Perfect timing. I love the paper pieced pattern, it does look like it is a time consuming project! My favorite is the wall hanging...I think it is wonderful. My dream home would include a tiki bar!!
I love your quilts and I think your flying geese are amazing. Can't wait to see it in it's next phase.
