Feathered fronds

During my recent lurgydom, I was wasting time on the web, and found this incredible quilter, LuAnn Kessi, who very generously has several tutorials and photos of her sketchbooks on her website, including how to draw quilting feathers freehand without templates.  A few hours over the past few days led to these, all A4 size.  Different pencils have given different degrees of definition to the drawn lines.

The challenge will be to see how well the muscle memory translates into stitch.

  1. What a grand bunch of feather designs. If I could come up with these I'd think that it was a lurgy worth catching! Splendid stuff!
