Hi everyone
It been a busy week here, getting quite a few little pieces finished.
First off, an order for a couple of bags and my first excuse to do some feathers :
and.....
this... became...
these!
In between this I have pieced together two bed runners for twin 6 year old boys. I will be quilting them next week so photos soon.
Yesterday I started making a couple of ipad covers - just yet another excuse for some FMQ.
This was the first one - done on some pretty fabric with dragonflies on it. I used a 4oz polyester wadding for a nice puffy effect.
This is the second one. I really went to town and played with different threads. Gutermann varigated Sulky and Wonderfil metallic threads which if I'l honest are a pain to work with but worth the effect.
The fabric I used for this was hand dyed by a lady who comes to our quilt show every year. Her stall is called Images of Egypt but unfortunately she does not have a website. I LOVE her fabrics!!
I used Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 wadding for this one.
So that's what I've been up to this week.
I'm planning to get these covers made up today then onto other projects.
Hope you all have a lovely Easter.
Rhianon.

Your quilting (and embroidery, of course!) is beautiful. I have yet to work with feathers... Maybe when I 'grow up' I will quilt like you do! :-)
