I was so excited to see this special exhibit at the Lancaster quilt show and I was not disappointed! 

Perfect and humble in every way! This was the oldest eagle quilt in their collection. I bought a one page pattern for it and can't wait to use it somehow this year!

I love the humble border vine!

 

A bold coverlet!

Eagles in Philadelphia. 

We made a side trip to Valley Forge!

More to come!

Sewing this Week

I thought I'd start out with an eagle quilt since we are coming fast on the USA Independence Day. I made this quilt in 2003 and 2004, so it's an oldie.

More flying geese were on this week's sewing agenda.

 I came across this one yesterday.... 

 Geez, it isn't even the same fabric! LOL  I didn't bat an eye, just continued on my humble way.

 I chained pieced 10 at a time. cut...

 pressed.....

 Added the next square....

 And sewed them in groups of 10. 

They need trimming which I can do while watching TV. 

I realized I made about 30+ more than I needed! That's annoying!

This weeks instagram. 

Have a fantastic weekend! And if you are lucky enough to get Monday off before July 4th have fun and be safe!
