Being a Duck

I recently bought a book by Marion Barnett of Artmixter. It's called Finding Your Focus and very much worth a read!


Anyway, I have worked my way through it and taken on board quite a lot of the information and decided that, no matter how beautiful dragonflies are, I'd rather be a duck!  

I've dug deep and tried to make order out of the 101 things on my todo list.  Surprising what comes to the top using Marion's method! 

In my best duck outfit (!) I pieced this entire top on Thursday.  It is now layered and basted ready for quilting which I am going to do on the little machine rather than the longarm.


It's 45 inches square, fabrics and pattern by Jinny Beyer.

I carried on with the duckish momentum and also made another quilt of 48 x 64 inches yesterday but I can't show it yet and that one is completely finished, now in the washing machine.

Oh how smug I feel.  Thank you Marion!!!! (Any confusion over references to ducks and dragonflies can be resolved within the pages of the above book! lol)
