Today we attend a funeral. A funeral for a fellow quilt maker who was a member of our guild. Joan will be missed with her quiet demeanor and input into our group. She was who made me feel welcome the first couple of weeks as a new member two years ago and she will always have a special place in my heart for that very reason.
Yesterday was sew-in day and I made this little quilt for a college friend of Andrew and Laura's. The new little bundles name is Ian and I hope the "green and white" theme stays with him always. Congrats Ryan and Stephanie on your newest addition!

After coming home to an empty house, I started right in on my feathers class and yesterday we worked on the custom feather. These are a bit more "formal" in look, and I was having a really (really) hard time grasping how to make these. I probably drew 50 of them before I was ready to get on DW and give it a try.
Even after all my hand practice before, this is what I ended up with.

Not very pretty are they?
I continued on practicing and did improve somewhat. They are constructed differently then the simple feathers of the other day. Our instructor became a little more fancy and added a few elements to the custom feather and here is what I ended my day with before turning off the machine.

I think I have a lot more practicing to do with these before feeling comfortable on an actual quilt.
