Hot off the long arm!
So our bee's adopted WWWQ daughter Madeline Lawrence Thibaut is finally all grown up and having a darling baby named Lilly Kate any day now. Ille had a shower at her house and I had been meaning to make one of these small quilts for Maddie for a while...first for her wedding but that didnt happen...I finally got one done for a baby present for the shower...
the finished quilt
feathers everywhere Bound and ready to go....except i still have to add the birthdate...
The feathers are all fmq without marking. The only markings I did were to block off WHERE i wanted the feathers with a blue pen.

Next up I am doing one for my son's friends that got married in Napa...with a grape wreath in the middle with their names and the date and place...think it will make a wonderful wedding present. If you think you need one of these to commemorate a special occasion email me and we will talk!! I think they could also be wonderful done in pink or blue for a baby or in the bride's colors...
feathers
PS I also have a serious urge to paint one of these like hmm whose book is that kemshall?? Put some fabric paint on the roller and go for it...I think it could be just wonderful...the Napa quilt may get that treatment...unless i get vetoed by my son and his fiance!
corners
Feathered heart in the middle of the quilt with the baby's name and birthday..
.well the date has to be added as soon as Lilly Kate decides to appear...we have a running bet on whose birthday she will appear on ...mine on the 21st or Rachels on the 22nd or Betsys on the 23rd...of course mine is the best...its NEVER on Thanksgiving so you dont have to share your special day with a turkey and a jillion desserts!
