Flying Geese - no waste method

Good morning all quilters,

I've just spent a lovely hour browsing the quilt blogging world and came across this lovely tip for creating Flying Geese with minimal fabric wastage and wanted to share it with you all.

Here is the link to the Patch Pieces blog and the actual PDF File for making these flying geese.

Happy flying/sewing
Cheers Jennifer

Guild Meeting Thursday 15th July 2010

Our next guild meeting will be on Thursday 15th July at 7:30pm. 

Come along and receive some advice from our own Anita Ellis, from Hillside Quilting, on preparing our quilts for a machine quilter. Do you know how much extra backing is required? Do you know that the quilter can attach the binding? These questions, and Anita's journey, will be the topic of the evening. 

Come also and see the lovely Show n Tell made during the previous month and sit and sew with like minded quilters. 

Then on the following Saturday, 17th,  there is an additional sewing day from 10am. All are welcome.

Sorry for all the posts today - when I can get access to the Internet I try to blitz things - and in this case test the technology.

Here is another option for show n tell - let me know what you think...
