After months of procrastinating Tail Feathers is finally underway with block 1 completed today.
I enjoyed stitching each of the mini blocks. This one's called 'Tree of Delight.'
Even the satin stitch was fun!
The block below is called 'Those Love Birds.'
A mix of stitchery and applique keeps it interesting and I LOVE working with the Patisserie fabrics. Nine blocks to go!
Tomorrow I'll be posting a parcel off to Peg for our latest Friends in Stitching swap. Photos soon ... I promise. This week is the last week off term in Tasmania so fingers crossed I'll get this blog active again during the holidays.
this looks just perfectly delicious Christine..... don't you find that sometimes the hardest part is starting???

That looks awesome. I started work on this last year and kept putting it down because I was so busy but I've picked it back up and it's on top of the to do list for this year. I look forward to following your progress.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks Christine...I am so excited....
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Your stitching looks so perfect. :o)
ReplyDeleteI started on my tail feathers this past weekend. I stitched the little bird applique block first. Hopefully will get time to do the other two stitcheries today. It's so pretty!
Your quilt is going to be beautiful Christine and Patisserie is such a gorgeous fabric range. My quilt has been so close to being finished for weeks - one border to quilt but other things keep cropping up.
ReplyDeleteIt's all beautiful and such lovely stitching. You picked just the right fabrics to go with it.
ReplyDeleteLove Natalie Lymer's Designs...this one is so Cute...Lovely fabrics to with the blocks.
ReplyDeletecheers
Your work is an inspiration, Christine. Love that fabric line too.
ReplyDeleteI have just stumbled on your blog and have found a kindred soul. I have or am working on several of the same projects as you and will be a follower from here on. Thanks for sharing your Tail Feathers. I also just finished block one.
ReplyDeleteVery unique. Love the combination of quilt and stitch.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be such a wonderful quilt. I can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful - I had been wondering if you were stitching on Tail Feathers. I took a few months break from mine after Christmas and just started on block 8 last week.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are gorgeous. I love the colours and the stitcheries are beautiful.
