hi everyone! good morning!
i’m lovin’ myself a little faux leather and stitchin’ feathers! and i’m diving through my stash of projects that have been patiently waiting for me. this first one is for Chris Daly; who also writes a blog TheArtQuiltBlog.blogspot.com {or click link above}, who requested this special order on leather piece, unbound. she plans to use it for an ipad cover, or hand bag!
i outlined the feathers with a lime green metallic ‘razzle dazzle’ and variegated polyester thread, is all from superiorthreads.com… and they are beautiful, for sure. i typically favor a 50 weight 100% cotton in the bottom when using the variegated threads for quilting. i also lower my tension at least one full number, too.
enJOY! stay cool!

Gorgeous! Does the 50 weight in the bobbin give it more strength?
Leslie the thread colors are so vibrant. The colors glow. I love the green accent and the variegated thread was a genius choice. I'm honored to have your quilted work. I will be anxiously checking my mailbox everyday. Thank you a thousand times!
This piece is beautiful!!! Not sure how you stitched it so perfectly! You are truly amazing!
I love how you venture through projects like this that I would run and hide from! Looks fantastic as always!!!
This looks like it should be part of a fancy pair of cowgirl boots? I would love a pair like that. xox
