Flying geese, looking skyward

This is my new but not yet quilted wall hanging. It is made from my favorite fabric from quilt market, designed by French General after the 1900's French linens. The triangles on top of one another are called flying geese. It is soooo pretty! When it is done, it will have a red binding like the fabric in the bars. I am thinking of asking Wes to pay for the quilting in return for letting them use it as a shop sample. In the end, it will be mine.

The other totally cool thing is that last night, we saw the International Space Station fly overhead. It was on the news, and Lance called us to come look. It was as bright as a star, and moving from west to east across the northern sky. When it got to the point where the sun could no longer hit it, it winked out just like that. It reminded me of sitting on the back porch as a child and trying to see one of the first satellites in the night sky. The sky is very big and we are very small. We are still special to God.
