The last of the feathers.

Well we are coming to the end of the feather drawing lessons.

I hope that everyone has been practicing on paper.


Here we go today I am going to show you how to draw a tear drop feather. In my mind I think that these are the easiest feathers out there because all you have to do is learn to draw a tear drop. Make sure that you do a little curve at the pointy side of the tear drop. This will be clear when you watch the video.

 

So there you have it all the different types of feathers.

 

 

 

 

Here I stitched it out in a triangle shape. Please take the time to draw them on paper. As you get better you will need to practice drawing all these different feathers in different direction. If you are a long armer you can not turn your quilt so you need to be able to quilt them up and down, side to side, and on the diagonal coming towards you and a way from you.

 

 

This was a class I took on Craftsy called "Beyond basic machine quilting". The teacher is using a demestic machine, so anyone can do this you do not need a longarm machine. This class was easy for me, so I changed what I did for my feathers and flowers and tried different threads that I do not get to play with often. Tested different methods of marking. This was my end result.

 

Over the top feathers.

 

this is a tear drop feather but making the tear drop look like a leaf.

 

 

 

and in this photo you see that I did a whimsical feather with a starburst.

 

 

Next week I will show videos of me stitching out the different feathers, Have a great weekend.
