ffq-lar Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Last quilt before we pack up the Millie for a trip to Iowa. Naturally, I had major problems and spent a day troubleshooting. We replaced the bobbin assembly and re-timed and she purred like a kitten. So I'm sending her back for a spa treatment with only one day of stitching with the new bobbin assembly---go figure! This quilt is 103" square and I think it was a kit. Lots of SID with invisible thread and outlining of the designs in the JB signature striped fabric. Feathers across the triple-border, in the setting triangles and the purple corners. CC's of course, in the diamonds of the star. Wool batting, twelve pre-wound bobbins, and five thread color changes. It was a challenge--ten days of stitching all told. Arrow right for quilting details after the link. Thanks for looking and Happy New Year! https://www.flickr.com/photos/larech/16000069858/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachside Quilter Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Another fabulous finish, Linda! So, I am wondering if I send my Millie back to the factory while yours is there maybe some of your magic dust will rub off on my Millie and she will quilt like you?

chickenscratch Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Vickie, I had the same thought. I think I am going to plan a visit to Washington just so I can shake Linda's hand and get the magic transferred to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Wow!Wow!Wow! Linda that is great. May I ask on your feathers in the triangles was that cc they way you showed in earlier tutorials? They look great Thanks for the great remarks! I think what you're referring to are hooked feathers, where the feathers are stitched from the spine, curve and touch the previous feather, and return to the spine with a slight offset. There are two strokes to stitch the feather. The triangle feathers are longarm feathers--spine marked and stitched, feathers down one side and then up the other. Then I stitched an echo to fill the space. That gives it the "double feather " look. I learned how to mark and stitch feathers like this and also the running feathers in the triple border from Fancy Formal Feathers by Sherry Rogers-Harrison.

Sheri Butler Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Linda. I Love how the corner triangle feathers made it appear that there was a circle feather wreath in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Linda, this is beyond beautiful. Maybe I should load some plain material for the Moxies and you can teach us how to do the feathers while some are sewing? I know I am probably the only one still struggling with getting them to flow. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 We can do that, Bekah! It'll be great to see you. I'll bring some feather instructions that helped me with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
