Deep curve feathers

Block wreath
Heart
Some border ideas
Top is switch/back feathers bottom is a block fill variation.
I really enjoyed this intensive feather class and learned a lot of techniques. Now I am not afraid of feathers, but know that they take a lot of practice.

Fabulious Friday...

(above the drawing is the teachers and the funny stitching is mine from the end of the day)
I attended the first part of a quilting class on making feathers. Our teacher is Karen Kendo . She is a great teacher and we are learning a lot. If you click on her name you can see samples of what we are learning in class.
We are lucky to have the class at Aiken Historic Museum in the Ballroom.
Jenifer Kay from The Quilting Solution Has set up four of their machines for us to use. She is at the class to keep the machines threaded and help out where needed. Tomorrow we have another half day to learn more about placing feathers in borders and practice time. So feathers are coming to my own quilts soon.
