I draw things out on paper before I ever start stitching, then on the fabric I usually just do a general guideline for the spine.

Wow you must have some natural talent to make such pretty feathers. I think the green looks good.

Wonderful feathers!

That is soooooooo gorgeous, I think it looks great. I wouldn't change a thing, I love the feathers.

LOL are you looking for praise? You are going to get it cuz for a first attempt, these feathers ARE great! Love the photos, the green ... everything, you did a fantastic job! BTW, I know quilters who can't do feathers this wonderful after many attempts ... you are too hard on yourself for sure

Wendy, as always stunning. I love the diagonal background. I always am excited when I see your name for a post.

I did several dream feathers from bottom to top on a quilt last night so I didn't have to draw in a stem, just quilt. It went so quickly.

Thanks for sharing this....I guess I will have to get this book, because I need to learn this technique. You did a beautiful job, hope I can do as well.

That's either a super dooper how to book, or you're a fantastic student. GREAT job. Love everything about your feathered block!

you don't like it? what a shame, send it on, it is beautiful
