Dear Friends, I hope you are doing well. Life has been sort of a blur for me in the last few days as I worked to meet a few non-negotiable deadlines! I had heard from some of you that you were not able to leave comments on my Cottage Chic Christmas quilt. I am sorry about that. I am not quite what was wrong. I am guessing whatever it was, it was temporary on WordPress’ end.
Here is a snapshot of one of the three quilts I had shipped out in the last week or so. You can see that it is quilted feather wreath, but with a lighthearted informal feel. My feather lobes don’t all look the same in size or style. They almost look like they are up to mischief or something – which is not totally outrageous in light them being quilt on my Monkey Business II quilt there!
You will see what I mean by comparing the previous photo with this next one. Since all the feathers are the same size, the feel is more uniform and more formal.
Moral of the story: Experiment with the sizes and styles of your feather lobes to achieve different looks.
Thanks for stopping by! I will see you again tomorrow, hopefully.
















I think they look perfect!
Your feathers now matter what their shape or size are just gorgeous! I hope you have a wonderful week!
So beautiful and such a different look and feel. Working on the Sweet Sixteen puts me back at the “beginner” level, since I just got it set up a few days ago! Hope to get this “learning curve” under control soon so I can relax and come up with a look a titch closer to yours…LOL! Sometimes I wonder why I don’t stick with the “same old”!!!! Mucho hugs coming your way!!!!! D
Beautiful. I really like how you varied and used different styles. Great visual impact. Inspirational. I look forward to giving this a try. Thanks.

I like it — it does look playful, perfect for the monkey quilt.
I love love love the first one. I think I can do that. At least I am going to try.
BTW retreat was fantastic. I also wish you could have been there.

Beautiful Wendy.
I think you are very generous & helpful to all learning quilting.
