Feathers & Fireworks
 

I just could not wait until I got the binding done to show you. I have been trying to learn feathers forever.
Watched all the Youtube and looked at books and practiced to no avail. Well, was going thru the Youtube again and decided to look at long arm show. Well, guess what? It all clicked. The 11 min show I watched was called "Stitch perfect freehand feathers every time" it was from Quilt it Longarm quilters show and featured Kim Brunner. She went slow enough when doing the feathers as most I had watched just went to fast for my old brain :D Anyway, it all clicked and away I went. The quilting is not perfect but I am tickled with it. All done on my DSM. Thanks for looking.

Looks amazing! I too have all the books and have thought about feathers too long. YOU HAVE BEEN AN INSPITATION, I will watch this video and tackle something I have put on the back burner too long.

Wow! You certainly have done a great job. It looks wonderful. Thanks so much for showing us.

You did a FANTASTIC job! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Not perfect?! Your quilting is stunning! Beautiful work. I am going to look at that video, as I struggle with them too. Thanks for the info and the inspiration.

I'm speechless, I can't even do a straight line on my DHM
simply sooooo beautiful

That is just lovely. You have done a stunning job. Beautiful quilt. What is the name of your quilt pattern, please? Is there a link where we can also watch the show?
Thanks for any help. BrendaK

Beautiful job, you should be very proud of your work.

you should be really proud of yourself. It's lovely. I love that Youtube University.

Wow! You have done a great job on the quilting and the piecing. It's a gorgeous quilt. Thanks for your tips.

Very pretty!

congrats... nicely done

I got the pattern from Eleanor Burns from her book Quilts through the seasons. I just love her. The pattern is called
"Summer Porch" I did another a long time ago, but used stencils as I did not know FMQing. The only thing I did different this time was I only did a 5" final border as it called for 10" and I did not have enough fabric left. The show is on YouTube and called Stitch perfect feathers every time.

Wow I guess t did click for you. Such a lovely job you did. Thank you for sharing :)

Your quilt is beautiful! Your quilting is excellent and your feathers are wonderful! Great job all around!

Beautiful, I too have trouble with feathers, the first 3 or 4 are good but they begin to lose their shape the more I do, by the time I get to the last one is looks more like a whirligig. I will watch the video.

Really nice feathers! Great job!

Like every one else I am off to visit You Tube,we should be seeing a lot of feathers in QB soon♥

Beautiful!!!!

You did an awesome job on all your feathers!!

As everyone has already said....great job! And the back looks great too!

Oh my goodness! You did that on your home machine? It is amazing and beautiful and....I could go on and on. You are my hero. I am going to stop being afraid of FMQ and try is some more.

You did a great job, congrats.

What are you saying, those are great feathers!! I have no problem quilting them on a LA but I envy your talent on your DSM!

My gosh,it looks like you've been doing feathers for ever,and I love the other quilting as well.I am going to do that too...one day.At least I intend to give it one heck of a try getting there.Thanks for the inspiration.

Great quilting and great machine. I have one and it works like a charm on everything I give it to sew.Congratulations on mastering feathers

That is beautiful. I tried on my DSM it am having a hard time. Hats off to all those who can do feathers stippling, and FMQ on a DSM.
