For what it's worth, I think you're doing a beautiful job with the feathers.

You're doing wonderful work. Feathers can be very freeing, or you can stress over them - glad you're enjoying them.

Looking fabulous. I am practicing doing feathers also and they do not look as even and perfect as yours. You have a natural touch!

Wow, what a beauty for a newbie. Today I practiced making meandering circles but they didn't turn out so good. I wish I still had those wonderful young, pain free hands. Still consider mself lucky to do what I do.

What a WONDERFUL job on your feather free motion. You are doing such a great job. I am so very proud of you!! For someone just starting out you look like you have been doing it for a long time. No wonder I haven't heard from you.LOL Sending my love Barb

If you take a photo slightly to the side, instead of straight on, it does show the quilting better. You are doing well on your feathers. They take practice like many things do but you can do some of that practicing on paper. You can draw them on paper while talking on the phone and it gets that pattern into your brain. My favorite thing to quilt is a feather design. I'm glad you are enjoying them too.
