Quilted feather fun .

Quilted feather fun .

Here are a few pictures of my latest quilted venture..

Using cream cotton sateen fabric with a flower print fabric border. gold rayon thread .

Bottom line bobbin white , 2oz wadding . 

I started off by drawing in my stem guide lines for the center design , also for the border , just one continuous following stem . the flowing feather design was quilted using a gold coloured thread ,

I also used a small filler design . 

 And a darker quilted echo design .

Here is the reverse side of the project . which you would agree is just as worthy of being on show . 

Happy Quilting .

Hyperquilting Update. 

I'm very pleased this one is finished , used colours to match the fabric .

Here you will find a number of pictures showing you the finished item .

As you will notice i have used some of the fabric that i tie dyed the other week . this final border was quilted using a variegated sulky rayon thread , and a corresponding colour in the bobbin in polyester . both by Gutermann machine Threads .











All the guide lines of the stems were drawn out first , then i did my best to match the feather designs as
i went along .


Here is the center filler designs .

Enjoying myself so much , its knowing when to stop . ....

 The outer filler quilting i  used a pebble design .

The finished corner designs .

Happy Quilting

Feathers Feathers everywhere..

Free motion feathers .

Thought i would start of showing you the patchwork block design that i created using a mixture
of cotton and cotton sateen .. this gives a lovely sheen to your quilting work .

First i marked out the feather border stem line, before going ahead and getting started on
the central wreath design .

Marking out the designs free hand with chalk does help you keep on track with the outlines.

 Starting out with the outer and inner rings then filling in with the feathers.

 this time i thought of dressing it up a little by adding some gold circles .

 Hyperquilting has become  my new  favorite , with so much coloured thread
out there to play with . It came really change your design and give it a complete new look .

Now the central wreath is complete using a mixture of gold, green and mergenta .







Adding the feather borders was fun to work with , and completed the look .

 Happy Quilting
