jmcclannan Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I am attaching a picture of my first feathers. This is an autograph quilt I made for another teacher who is retiring this year. The feathers aren\'t perfect but just getting up the nerve to try them on something real was a challenge. Fortunately, she isn\'t a quilter so she won\'t know how they\'re supposed to look.

barbm Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Julie, When I look at the "thread" it looks like a picture is starting to load, then it doesn\'t. Maybe the file is too big? Try making it no more that 400 pixels in any direction. And don\'t preview your thread - I\'m told that "vanishes" the picture! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcclannan Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 OK this is my 3rd try at attaching this picture. If this doesn\'t work I\'m going to have a glass of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcclannan Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Okay - I think I\'ve got it now. You are so encouraging. I know most of you do fabulous work. I have learned so much from you and I am in awe of some of the quilts I see here. I have so much to learn, but I am having a blast with my Lenni. Here is a closeup.

jmcclannan Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 The block is called Cracker Box. I\'m really looking forward to giving it to my friend at her retirement party and letting everyone sign it. Thanks for all of your positive comments.
