Operation Sparrow is a really sweet charity and you can find all of the information about it here. I had alot of fun making this...I'm not too happy with how the stabalizer made this wrinkle, but they are going to stretch it onto a hoop so it will flatten out.
I am also taking a crazy quilting class with an awesome lady Kathy Shaw at Shawkl.com.....You can't join the class now but this is my progress so far....It's really in depth and I really feel like I'm in a class. It has taught me sooo much and I can't wait to learn how to embroider ribbon.
Another project that I'm working on is at The Inbox Jaunt with Lori Kennedy. It's a mystery quilt along, and it's a whole lot of fun. You join in with this one and catch up pretty easily. I'm a day behind but it won't take very long to do. I loved working on learning how to fmq my name. It's in the lower right hand corner.
I've gotten to work on an all over feather quilting project which has been my dream to achieve ever since I bought my sewing machine with a 10 inch harp. I could use alot more practice but I'm happy with my first try so I thought I would share it with you.
It's called Forest Walk and it was a kit. This was a super fun quilt to do because the colors and fabrics were chosen for me. It came with a whole lot of extra fabric so that I can make pillow shams to go with it. The other thing I loved about it is their way of showing me how to miter the corners in their patter. It was so easy and they worked on all four corners.
You feathers look realy nice, I am terrible at free motion quilting. Have fun in your class

DeleteHi Shelly! Wow! You have been busy!! Firstly, love your embroidery on the crazy quilt block...

I like the mystery FMQ quilt you are following too.... I would like to join but I am not sure I have the time.... I have taken on so many other things and I don't know if my FMQ is up to it either!! Your quilting is fantastic!! Those feathers are beautiful! Congratulations!! :) xx
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait for my SRE lessons, but I'll have to say I needed to have a wee break after the last lesson, so I just relaxed with my Operation Sparrow. Thank you so much for your encouraging words on my feathers, I was so happy to be doing them, it was just fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful embroidery! I love seeing the pictures you post and your feathers are awesome!
