Jo Morton and the Flying Geese
Have you ever had an experience when you just didn't think it could get any better and it did? This is how I would describe the Jo Morton classes. To make the quilts is challenging, the finished quilts are beautiful, and the classmates are a wonderful group of sharing women. There is laughter, stories, tips, successes and failures. Sit back and enjoy the ride--here come the quilts! The quilt pictured above is the teachers quilt.
This is Carmen's quilt--her color choices are always awesome.
Isn't this an awesome Flying Geese? This quilter always has the best tips to share and is always willing to help others learn. She had just returned from a "fishing trip" with her husband, she had stories to tell!
Teri's quilt, aren't the colors yummy? Teri was giving this quilt to her daughter to use to play with her dolls. Pretty nice baby doll quilt, makes me wish I still played with dolls.
The lady who made this quilt is very quiet and makes the most beautiful quilts. She had used Christmas fabrics.
Marilyn is the Applique Queen! She uses a combination of fabrics--wools, cottons and brushed flannels. Those brushed flannels are to die for!
Carmen's daughter is a dancer and her dance group is having a silent auction fund raiser. Carmen has made items for the auction.
If you are interested in purchasing these items visit Carmen's blog.
This piece is still in the works. I think she said this was going to be a bag--you don't want to miss the quilted back side of this piece.
My creative juices are in overload and I have a ton of things which are calling for my attention. The next quilt is a 9 patch with a Jo Morton twist.

Will it be ready?
Tomorrow is Jo Morton quilt class. The question I keep asking myself: "Will the flying geese quilt be ready?
Time for some major caffeine, putting the metal to the pedal and pulling an all nigher.
Hopefully will have lots of show and tell from tomorrow's class.

(More) Flying Geese
Yes, you are correct, I am still getting my ducks geese in a row!
An excellent question to ask: "How many geese does it take to make a quilt?"
The correct answer is many (more than I have sewn).

Gathering of the Geese
Since my Jo Morton class is on Saturday, it is time to get serious about my Flying Geese homework. Let's just say, I am making S L O W progress. Each line of flying geese has fifty geese/goose. One geese/goose is approximately, 2 1/2." I have two more lines of geese to add before I start setting the sashing. I will need to make another fifty geese to complete the needed two lines. WHEW! Yes, I am feeling overwhelmed.
I can only hope to have the geese flying in the same direction!

A rainy day in Music City and I have been working on the Flying Geese for the next Jo Morton class. Let's just say, there are many geese to assemble before
