My goal this month is get this Elephant quilt quilted and bound and on it's way to it's little recipient. I now have a request to make another one but in different colours.
I have never really been confident enough to quilt feathers before-oh I have all the books, have
As it is the second day of March here, and I have managed to get quite a bit of quilting done I am hopeful I can meet my goal.
got Craftsy classes and have drawn them out a lot but never thought I could quilt them (and in fact have to admit never really liked them that much!!). Well I came across Natalia Bonner's Swirly Feather and also have her new book 'Next Steps in Machine Quilting' that has this design in it so I thought this was the quilt to give it ago, and I'm liking them. I also got Bethanne Nemesh's class on iQuilt -If you can Feather you can Freehand, which is great and so here I go!!
As you probably know I ADORE feathers!!! Going to look up Natalia Bonner's (have heard of her!) Swirly Feather right now! This is ab-fab. Absolutely fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Looks great! Is that done on your fun quilter?
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is beautiful. I would have never guessed you found feathers to be a bit of a struggle.
ReplyDeleteYour elephant is so cute! And your quilting is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThis elephant quilt is super cute. I love your mixed quilting.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cute quilt, and your quilting is spectacular! Inspiration is everywhere, it is the act of doing to accomplish what you really want, which you have done beautifully on your feathers. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt, but the quilting is absolutely beautiful! You're doing a stunning job so far! :)
ReplyDeleteYou've made a great start on this month's goal! The quilt is a lovely design and your quilting is gorgeous!! I recently discovered that 'swirl with feathers' quilting design too and think it's lots of fun :-) I've wondered what the iQuilt classes are like - how do they compare to the Craftsy ones?
ReplyDeleteThe elephant quilt is adorable. The quilting on it is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is lovely! Nice elephant too!
