FMQ Feather samples



Here are my first samples for the FMQ Challenge run by SewCalGals. Feathers taught by Diane Gaudynski. I still have to do my sample on my SAMPLE quilt! I have also decided to do some of these samples using one of my treadle machines, I have already done the leaf on the treadle and will post photo's after I have done some more feathers. JUST LOVE FEATHER QUILTING!!!!!


I have made this sideboard runner for myself it is made up using many different techniques
Stencilling using shaving cream learnt from LuAnn Kessi from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full
Plus Marbling using Shaving Cream

  2. You are really good at feathers and free motion quilting altogether. I wish I had time to try all of these too! Was hoping for a lotto win at the weekend but not to be. Had to stay at work for the whole long weekend after all.
