2.21.12--Folk School Journal Tomorrow!

I went from HATING free-motion quilting to kinda liking it. By the last bits of my February lesson, I actually enjoyed it! February's lesson was by Diane Gaudynski and was all about feathers.

 I have never really warmed up to the whole feather thing in quilting--hand or otherwise but I can see how it is easy to do because of its continuous line design. I do, however, LOVE to do LEAVES.

 I enjoyed these feathers as I pushed and pushed until I was doing leaves. On some of the outlines, I did some Jane Sassaman style wigglyies kind of like ric rac, and I liked these very much. So, here is my February challenge response.
