Excuse me - not this one - the fire cracker went into the air
on New Year's eve in front of our house -----
But this one..... which is not exactly my New Year's resolution -
Just because everything is to normal again
 |
| It is the beginning of a new feather and I took a photo - the first one - with my Ipad which I got for Christmas - well the used one of our son - it is so good - the photo is not very sharp - but it is really so much faster to make. |
Irish Chain with sprinkled-over feathers.
Every day one feather more -
no, too much.... every week at least one ---
 |
| The white fabric of the large square is of a different white - it is a scrap quilt - I used what I had |
Today started TAST 2012 with SharonB. Week 1 - fly stitch.
I made a January flower using only fly stitches, see here: week 1
 |
| It is a hand dyed piece of cotton which I made two years ago I think I will stitch all January stitches on the same piece of fabric and start on a new one the following month. |
i love that fabric! It has so much texture and depth. The flower looks beautiful on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, full of positive vibes and busyness. You sound ready to take on lots of things Anneliese. I really like the use of the feather blocks, love scrap quilts. I see you have done some fly stitch, good work. I've had a little play, but it is one I've investigated before.
ReplyDeleteI love the feather idea!!! I you going to make a whole quilt like this? Why didn't I think of that :))
ReplyDeleteYour fly stitch looks really good, well done :)
Happy New Year to you, Anneliese! You have made a good start :)
Happy TAST week 1 Anneliese!I like the fly stitch flower very much!
ReplyDeleteYour 'Magic feathers' are gorgeous.

thank you for your comment on my blog ! I did not do my sample in two evenings.....I did the beadwork before in anticipation and then framed the beadwork with the fly stitch when it was announced on TAST !

ReplyDeleteWow, I love your fabric and I like this flower...we had the same inspiration! This challenge with Sharn will be a great adventure!
ReplyDeletemore beautiful feathers and your creative use of the fly stitch is fantastic~!!!!~
ReplyDeletelooks somewhat like a dandelion puff just waiting for wishes to be made and a big whoosh of breath to send the soft seeds on their way.

You are inspirational to me Anneliese. The feathers are turning out beautifully and of course, I have already said elsewhere how much I love your use of the fly stitch for TAST. I also love scrap quilts and using what I have on hand. Doesn't stop me from continually buying more tho LOL.
