it’s been a little cool weather-wise so far ~ but i’m warmin’ up! and i’m also warming up with a little quilting on my free motion feathers, too. a little out of practice, and it’s time to get tuned up again… {oh how i have missed you ~ feathers} i do adore the look of feathers… especially on hand-dyed fabric ~ {this is what Chris calls a ‘double-dye’ specially made by Chris Daly of Dye Candy!} i love the whole cloth look that lets this fabric be the star it is!
these colors are very dramatic and exciting to me! love it!
the back side:
i noticed my spine stitching was not as nice and smooth as i’d like them to look. and that is my summer goal! but i do love how this gorgeous piece of fabric turned out quilted in feathers.
now that’s what i call “feathering my nest!”
do you have a specific goal for summertime sewing or quilting? i want to practice design and feather work on at least two or three of these in different colorways this summer.
have a wonderful day ~ thanks for stopping in!

I am learning and practicing free motion feather myself this summer. They are really fun.
A question, what kind of variegated thread do you use? It is so pretty.
Gorgeous Fabrics, threads, feathers and runner! The finished project looks dye-n-mite on your table!

That fabric is beautiful…..and so is your quilting…..
Leslie, Your feathers look awesome! I love your work.
It really is a BEAUTIFUL piece!!! Colors are amazing together…thread, fabric….just wonderful!!!!
That is a great idea to have a summer goal! I generally just have these projects that I want to finish and vague plans circulating in my head but I think you have provided the incentive for me to choose a specific goal, whether small, or bigger than small. I am going to have to think on this one for a bit. And your feathers are lovely!
Fabulous work, love that pop of orange in the binding. What a pretty pretty thing. xox
This is a stunning piece of work! Bravo for you!
Your feathers make me want to fly! I am feeling like my feathers are a bit stuck together so the goal is to loosen up, take a few practice flaps and then just soar!
Gorgeous colors and beautiful stitching.
Lovely!
