I have added to my sampler piece
I took this photo in the sun so its a bit bright.
You can see my leaf samples - the circle and the rectangle.
I took this wonderful book I have from Kim Stotsenberg
of sewnsewquilting and I took the book, a book to draw in and a few pencils and drew most of the designs in the leaf it book, while I watied for my DH to have his appointment, and thought I would have a go with what I had learnt.
Its a great book and I know I will use it lots. Thank you Kim :)
So I am still experimenting with coloured silk thread
and will do some more of my feather later today/tonight
Great FMQ! I loved your feathers you did earlier this week and your practice piece is full of lovely designs.

I love kim's book, I've taken some classes from her and the ideas are great. Just exchange the feather for a leaf and you get some great designs. I usethem for more masculine quilts where I want to feather but know I shouldn't, ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh Joan, I don't know where to start, your work is dazzling... Your determination is so inspiring, and wow.
