 Fantasy Feathers: Elegant to Whimsical Designs.... Not your traditional feathers
Learn to create these unique Fantasy Feathers for elegant to whimsical designs. Once you have the basics of constructing these feathers we will explore using them in borders, blocks and setting triangles. Kim will show you how to use stencils, templates and rulers for the foundation to quilting these designs into your quilts. We will explore using 2 different colors of thread for a more whimsical look.  This class is for all skill levels.

Wordless Wednesday

Design Wall Monday

I really, really want to get back to my selvage quilt....  I seem to need a lot of space to work on it and sense Quilt Harbor as moved into a smaller store front I haven't had room to really spread things out.  Maybe in a couple weeks when we get the new class rooms.

So in the mean while...  at the store we have a scrap bin.  Us and customers put all our bits and pieces in the bin.  You can come in and fill a lunch bag full of scraps for $3.00.  Well, it's over flowing!!!!  So I decided to make a crumb quilt to use up some of the scraps.

 

This is almost as much fun as the selvage quilt!!!  

 

Trying to use up scraps makes more scraps!!!!   LOL

Pictures were taken with my tablet so they are not the best...

You can go on over to JudyL's too see what others have on there wall.

 

 

On the Machine

On the machine today....

And I'm doing the stand and stare....  I know what I'm going to do in the big squares, but it's the pieced blocks that have me stumped.  I think I have and idea, but not sure yet.

 

See the hand dyed fabric....  my friend and coworker Val created it.  She does a lot of dyeing and sells fat quarters at Quilt Harbor.
