Fabulous Faces......Granny Girls

I am putting the finishing touches on a few

class sample quilts...

These are for my Fabulous Faces class next month...

The Granny Girls

This is Grumpy Granny

I think she has bunions and her shoes are too tight!

This is Sweetie Pie Granny

She bakes cookies and spoils her grandchildren.

This is Crazy Granny

She lets her grandchildren jump on the beds

and have pillow fights!

This is Sophisticated Granny

She goes to the hair dresser, her clothes are always in-style

and you have to take your shoes off when you go to her house.

It is time to pull out the tool box and.....embellish!

Hot Fix Crystals.....just what the Grannies need!

Sophisticated Granny loves her jewels!

Simple diamond earrings are just right for

Sweetie Pie Granny

Even Grumpy Granny gets tiny blue earrings.

Big shiny earrings for Crazy Granny!

Feathered Heart.....Machine Quilting

Machine Quilted Feathered Heart

White Cotton Fabric, Cotton Batting, 

White Cotton Aurifil Thread,

80/12 Sharp Needle

Trace heart shape onto white cotton fabric

Question mark shapes......feathered spine lines

I stitch from the bottom of the heart...

I can see better when stitching out the feather plumes

Begin stitching plumes up the right side of the heart...

The right side of the heart is all stitched with plumes

I am ready to begin stitching plumes 

on the opposite side of the heart...

I would normally stitch this out without stopping,

but I am taking it out so you can view the progress.

On the left side is my sketch on paper...

on the right is the heart ready to stitch the next section.

Both sides of the heart have been stitched with plumes

I will begin stitching in the center area of the heart...

My sketch will show you where I plan to stitch next.

I have filled up the right side of the center area...

I will begin filling in the opposite side of the heart center...

It's almost done...

The heart is completely feathered...

I sprayed water and removed the blue markings.

Here is a chocolate heart I feathered.

I am working with a Bernina Artista 200

Before machine quilting...

I usually warm up with a feather design.

Gunnr....a 93 pound boxer, keeps me company...

he snoozes under the sewing machine.

You are welcome to print out the sketches below

and follow along with me:
