Two more

I embellished the left feather with some French knots - the stitches are rather long and the quilt might be washed in the future being a bed cover when finished. I hope the knots will keep the satin stitches somehow in place

And this is where I got lately my inspiration from

 (after I was inspired by Jude Hill - see sidebar)

I found an article in our newspaper half a year ago,

cut it out and sticked it into my studio journal

never thinking I could use it some time

They are so beautiful in their diversity

Quilt, feathers and Tast 2012 week 1

Big bang ........ I took it up again - last year's project

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.
