February FMQ Tutorial, by Diane Gaudynski “Echo Feather Plume”
I love feathers but I haven't mastered quilting them .... Yet.... that is..... LOL.
For me, mastering the paisley shape is the hardest thing to do. But then as a child I could never draw a good looking heart. I drew pages of paisley shapes and practice feathers in my sketch book. One day I will get good at it.
in mind, I just doodled.
I did the free motion on my DM.
The feather below I quilted on my my quilting frame during the summer. I was really happy with it, but it's not great.... but 
Even though its not perfect it still received a blue ribbon. It was a Queen Size Kit from Connecting Threads called "Wildflower Quilt"

ReplyDeleteI am sew excited to meet a fellow quilter/machine embroiderer! I am your newest follower :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! It's funny because I didn't want to applique over 500 leaves on the quilt above, so I cheated a bit and digitized the leaves and the small buds... then embroidered them on and then appliqued the flowers in the center of each block. It was fun.
