Sheryl posted pictures of her quilt on her blog, and sent me a link. I noticed that her followers were asking for a web site to view my work. So.................., I guess it's time. And it seems only fair that I post Sheryl's quilt as my first entry, since she provided the motivation for this blog.
It's a beautiful quilt that includes fabric from her grandmother's curtains. Sheryl gave me free rein on the quilting design (thank you so much for that, Sheryl!) and I decided to try my hand at feathers. I've quilted feathers before, but mostly an all over, free form type. This was my first attempt to fit feathers into a border space. I'm relatively pleased with the results, and, if the hug she gave me was any indication, so was Sheryl!

This looks great, Deb. I hope you can share more of your own beautiful work.
