quiltaholi_518 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Firstly, I have to credit Sally Terry for these. I was looking at the quilting in my new book "Judy Martin's Log Cabin Quilt Book" and one quilt's quilting really stood out. It was quilted by sally, and on close inspection, the feathers looked pretty easy. So I had this quilt I was going to feather the borders anyway for a client, so I tried 'em, AND I LIKE 'EM!!!! You don't have to backtrack at all, and it's very forgiving as far as making them exact, they're great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcck00 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Caron, Beautimous!! Do you make a spine first, or?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltlinda Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Caron, I love the way your feathers look. Your quilts are always so beautifully done. I took a class from Sally Terry at HMQS last year in Salt Lake City. She\'s a great teacher. She does the spine first and it\'s amazing the things that she can do with feathers. I think she\'ll be at HMQS in May here in Utah. It\'s listed as a Home Machine Quilting Show but it\'s geared to a lot of long arming. They even list the classes for the type of machine you have. It\'s a great show and even better shopping. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtreusch Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Caron, I bought that book awhile back and saw the same feathers. I tried them on a whiteboard and really liked them. So easy to do. I haven\'t quilted them yet. Yours look great!! BTW - The Tiny Treasures is also great. I\'m looking forward to seeing it in person at MQS.

ramona-quilter Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Love those feathers, Caron. They remind me a bit of the Jodi Robinson feathers but yours are much puffier and more elegant looking. I also love the look of a feather without a spine, all that thread really builds up on my feathers when I use a spine. It is amazing how new ideas are inspired by tried and true methods.
