Definitely Wonky
It’s been a while since I’ve quilted Wonky Feathers (from the Pajama Quilter DVD) but as usual even though I’m cringing while I’m quilting, when I finish and take the quilt off the machine I’m usually fairly pleased. I need to quilt these feathers soon before I forget them again.
The top was pieced by San and it’s one of several sent to me to quilt and finish for Alycia’s Quilt of Valor project. I sent 3 finished ones to Alycia in November and another one is being bound by Sheree. You might not think feathers are the best quilting design but this quilt has floral setting triangles so I figured it would probably end up with a *girl* soldier.
Here’s a better look at the quilting
And my living room is almost back to normal — the ceiling has to dry some before they can put the lights back up but we enjoyed sitting by the fire this evening and Chesty was very happy to be allowed to roam around again.
Finally, we’re getting a little snow tonight but the exciting thing is this forecast for the rest of the week including Christmas! There’s a Winter Storm Watch in effect from Wed – Fri and they’re calling for significant accumulations of snow. I think we’ll do our grocery shopping tomorrow night rather than Wednesday as planned.
Wishing you all a white Christmas too!








This is what I want you to teach me how to do. I love these feathers. Hopefully we can get together in Jan. Have a great Christmas.
I really want you to be happy and if you like a white Christmas—go for it!!! BUT, Mary—I HATE the cold and do NOT want a white Christmas. My kids are driving up from FL (to TN) on Christmas Eve and if it snows, they will either not be able to come or be stuck and have a problem with returning for work on Monday—So, could you be a bit more specific in your wish. You are so lucky—your wish might just come true for EVERYONE
Hugs!
BTW–have the PJ Quilter DVD (I bought it when you recommended it) but haven’t gotten up the nerve to try the feathers. You do a beautiful job!!!
Merry Christmas!!!!
The wonky feathers look good! Glad you have reclaimed your living room!
Enjoy the snow.
Your feathers look fabulous! Your pictures remind me that I need to stitch more hooks/swirls into mine. I like the look.
We are supposed to be getting your snow first…so I’m headed into town sometime today too. ‘Tis the season!
Merry Christmas!
great feathers!
happy holidays in your “new” house.. isn’t it nice to have it all done!
In all of my almost 65 years of life I have never seen a white Christmas and would love just once to have one. I don’t want to have to be out in it, but would love to admire it from inside where it’s warm. Enjoy yours for the rest of us.
