Good Morning Bloggers!
Most of you know that I’m 83 years old, and this past few weeks have been filled with sad/yet comforting events in the lives of people in my age bracket. We are in the season of end of life gatherings, seeing lots of family, receiving and giving lots of hugs, laughter, and tears. I mentioned recently a recent family funeral for our brother-in-law, and now have two upcoming funerals-one for DH’s wonderful sister, Pat, who passed away yesterday………..and one this coming Saturday for a beloved niece The gathering of family is such a comfort to us in times of sorrow, and we are blessed with such a loving, caring family. My primary comfort though, is knowing God, and feeling His comfort during these times.
So with the above explanation, I have not been in the quilt room much this week. I did make more flying geese, using the 4 @ a time method, as it was comforting to chain piece a little while. I like listening to the hum of the sewing machine. I now have all the flying geese made for the outer border of the Old Mill Pond quilt.
Here is a picture of all the smaller parts that will come together to make the outer border:

What are you working on this week? My design wall looks the same as last week, so my goal this week is to sew some sashing onto the blocks that are there. I am so happy you participate in our Design Wall Monday Linky Party each week. Please join in below, so we can read your blog and look at your pictures. Thank you!
