quiltfarm Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I did this project a couple of months ago. Watched a Sharon Schamber DVD for inspiration, loaded some silk fabric, gorgeous soft Hobbs wool batting, silk thread. Really enjoyed the process. Used a rainbows variegated thread to highlight the feather borders . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathyh Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Gorgeous!! I love the silk with contrasting silk thread. Your feathers are perfect!! Wow, this looks like fun to me. I haven't bought a Sharon Schamber DVD yet but plan to - I love to watch her feathering in her LA video teasers on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 That is gorgeous. Did you learn all those feather techniques by watching her video? I am looking for a good DVD to learn different feather techniques. The only ones I know how to do are the double back ones and sometimes I don't stay on the lines very well.

quiltfarm Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Teresa, I have learned feathers from lots of different places, I have a few books and DVD's, a couple that I got a few years ago were by Darlene Epp and Sherry Rogers-Harrison, where you draw the feathers in the book. I found they were really good, and I did (and still do) loads of practice drawing feathers. My husband knows when I 've had a long phone call, feathers are doodled everywhere. I can't think of all of the places I've learned, I have lots of books from really great tutors and I've done some classes with Sharon Schamber and have some of her online and DVD classes. She is wonderful for teaching technique and inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm taking a class from Sharon in July at the Hershey, PA, quilt show. I have her DVD's, too. I would love to be able to make a quilt like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
