Wendy, I agree with Lois, you can really see the improvement you have made from quilt to quilt Well done.

Wendy, Your feathers (quilted ones) are fabulous. (So are the other ones.) You can see improvement with each go around. The last one is wonderful and shows so much creativity and playfulness. Just imagine how your skills would continue improve if you decided to make 100. Nice work! Keep it up.

Perhaps your vacuum has got the quilting bug Lotti and was actually trying to escape with a spool of thread! I am really feeling for you having to travel all the way to China with a bad knee. I hope you will be okay.

Love your feathers, Wendy... The quilted ones and the ones that left a trail in certain houses

My roomba (automatic vacuum) would love to get his mouth on those (the spread around the floor kind, not the Quilty ones), he got to work last night and found some green thread...
When my hair was longer he constantly complained that the hair jammed up his brushes, but last night he enjoyed decorating my whole living room with green thread trails (from chair leg to table leg and so on...), and happily wrapped almost a whole spool of thread over all his brushes, every turny bit in his mechanism and wherever else he could wind it up... Never a note of complaint till he ran out of power... I was in my bedroom packing for china... and never noticed until he was all done... Luckily this quilter has more than one good pair of scissors, also sharp pointy versions of the 'non-sewing' kind, so damage was reduced to a minimum, and the spool roomba got a hold of was an old one I received from my godmother, so I wouldn't have used it for quilting anyway...
Now to get some order in my apartment and then rest that knee... Got more medication to keep me going if things turn bad while I'm traveling - so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend

They look great Wendy! Have you looked at Sharon Shamber's second tutorial here? She shows how to approach feathers in lots of different ways, very helpful. I really like your one on the far right - you are looking more at ease with the process by that one.

Morning Norma, are you there

I've done Sewcalgal's feather challenge, here's the photo for you. Are you going to do it

The first was so ugly but worked out why and made the feathers different size, more curl and added interest. Wish I could quilt like Joanne of Threadhead, hers are superb

Thanks, Rita, on the link re Geta's shadow trapunto...just ordered it through Amazon. It looks amazing. I took a class a few years ago with Harriet Hargraves and this will be a great addition. I love the look of trapunto and can't wait to get the book!

Rita, thanks for the heart warming story. I am willing to contribute some fabric too. I am happy Geta is willing to help with this project.

Well done Rita I'll send a fat quarter.

The patterns in that book are to die for

Can we send some fabric to help out? Or other supplies?

BTW, folks, Geta is also a TQS member.
