While we were at the Waterloo quilt show, I was talking to one of the vendors, regarding a line of fabric I was looking for. She said they had some at the shop.....so after the show, we all jumping into the car and heading another 50 minutes west to the shop.....lol. Nothing we won't do to get our hands on some fabric...lol.
Unfortunately, they did not have enough of the one line left, so I had to pass on it. But, I did get these lovelies. Outside of the top fat quarter, the rest were in a bundle in the sale both/room, so that was a win. And I finally found the embroidery thread colour my daughter needed, to work on a cross stitch she is doing for me, that was designed by Camilla Roskelley.
This is a single block, called a cake plate. This was one that Bonnie Hunter was working on. I decided to start by placing the cake plate on a diagonal, so that the plate would stand straight up. First step was to add on these four triangles, to each side for the corners.
Then I pulled out one of the pages I had collected for different ideas of borders. I settled on this one. Off I went to my 2" strip drawer to cut pieces to make all these flying geese with their triangle wings. Some have the light wings and others have the coloured wings, to make the zig zag pattern.
This is where I left off that day. Even today I am on a high from the events of that day at the show!
Take care everyone.
