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

Wreath of free form feathers cushion design .

Once I cut out my fabric and added the 4oz wadding and backing i was ready to start 
my design . A small plate was used as my stencil  for the center, then slowly added
the feathers .

 A dark bronze silk thread was using for the main design .. then adding the filler of stippling
in a light cream brought the whole project together . 

The back of the cushion was made from again 100% cotton again using the dark bronze thread

random free form feathers were created..

and this is the finished cover .. this will be one of a pair .

Thanks for stopping by .
