Fantasy Feathers......

 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.

Here are a few of the designs that you will learn in this class...

Fan Letter

Not long ago I received the following from Linda Rech who was in my Filigree Feather class that I taught for the first time this last September at Innovation 2010...  I will be teaching a new twist on this class called Fantasy Feathers at MQS 2011 in May.  Anyway, I was thrilled by Linda's email!  She did a fabulous job making these Filigree Feathers her own!!!

If any of you out there have used designs learned in one of my classes or from my book 'Just Leaf It' and want to share your photos...  please give me a shout!  I'd be more than happy to share them here for you!!

Here's Linda's quilting... and e-mail. 

Hi Kim—I was lucky to take your Filigree Feathers class at Innovations this year. I tell all my longarm buddies that this class was the best money I have spent at that show in seven years! I have used the feathers several times on customer quilts and it always gets a positive response. Attached is a close-up of a recent quilt. Thanks and I hope to take more classes from you. You were a great instructor. Enough schmoozingJ—have a great weekend!
