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.

Magic feathers - magische Federn

I will send two feathers to Jude Hill who writes of her magic feather project on her blog.You can send two or more small feathers to her, she will publish them and make something out of them. You will find  a workshop on how to make them here
