Zinnia Raffle Quilt......2



How could I NOT be in a good mood while working

on this oh-so-colorful Quilt?



It makes me happy just to look at it...







I had to put it away for a few months...







It is now back under the needle...







I am having more fun than I deserve...







I am feathering it to my heart's content...







yum-yum-yummy!






This quilt will be raffled off in 2014...







The proceeds will benefit the 

Women's Cancer Coalition






This has been a cheerful project for me!

Zinnia Quilt




Many of you have wondered what Gunnr is up to:


He is his always sweet and gentle self...







He makes us laugh each day...







He loves everyone...






He loves his blue ball...






Now he has to take a nap.......goodnight.

Quilting Sketch Book.....Piggy Back Feather



Another Feather Design from

my Quilting Sketch Book...




Piggy Back Feather:


I enjoy stitching piggy back plumes

on the back side of the previous plume.


Midway down on this feather, you can

see that I have reversed the direction of the

plumes...piggy backing them.

This is a favorite way to stitch out a feather!




This feather started out like this:


Chalk out this spine, then add plumes.

These hollyhocks grow along side the Thread Shed

I learned to do this Bump Back technique

It has quickly become my favorite way to

stitch out feathers on my quilts.
