Today is the day...
I am teaching myself to piece
Migrating Geese
I am using this
Migrating Geese Technique Sheet
The technique sheet was easy to follow.
At this point the geese are
cut and pieced into units...
Here are a few geese ready to stitch into a row...
You alternate right side then left side
as you stitch the seams...
Four geese stitched together at this point.
I will add the yellow goose at the top
onto the right side...
You just keep adding geese until it is
the desired length.
At the end of the row you will add
two triangles at the top to complete it.
This is my first completed
Migrating Geese row...
Five rows of Migrating Geese
up on the design wall...
These are FUN and they pile up quickly...
I have no idea what I will do with them...
they were interesting to learn.
This is Althea Red
She is 4 years old and having her calf in March.
We have two other Althea heifers...
one has a blue tag and the other a pink tag.
Althea Red has a red tag.

Maybe you could use them for borders around one of your many beautiful panels. Annick H.

I wasn't aware of the Migrating Geese Technique. I love what you are creating. Thanks for sharing and inspiring, as i now want to try this.
Beautiful! But, but, but....are those bias edges?! Every stinkin' one of 'em? Brave, brave, confident woman! :)

That looks like a lot of fun I might have to give it a try. Althea Red is beautiful! I hope she has an easy delivery.
They are beautiful. They are very intimidating but actually easy to make.
Yes Pamela, I thought they would be difficult too. Such a clever technique. Glad I gave it a try.

Hey Vicki, Yes, they ended up being much easier than I anticipated. I will definitely use them as borders on a quilt someday. Althea Red is such a sweet young cow. She talks to me each morning when I am feeding her.

Hey Maggie, Don't let no stinkin' bias edges scare you! This is easier than it looks. So glad I gave it a try.

Hi Annick, I tried to find a panel that would work with the migrating geese, but nothing seemed right. I turned them into table runners for gift giving.

Hi LuAnn, I just notices how you set your small Bernina table on your big wooden table. Do you have a post that shows 'how' you got your sewing machine flush with your big table? Thanks!
Hi Dahn,
I have my Bernina on an old computer table. There is a recessed place for a computer keyboard, that is where I set my Bernina. The extension table on the Bernina sits level with the top of the table above the keyboard area. It works like a charm. I have done this same set up with my other machines and it works great.
Hugs,
LuAnn
