Fine Feathered Quilts

I went straight to the back to see the special exhibit of Feathered Star and Princess Feather quilts. They did not disappoint!

Love the quilting that goes through the applique.

The bird border!!!!!! Humble, folksy, unique and fun!

I thought this was so unique and beautiful!

Love the three sides of border!

This is NOT an antique! 

Check out the 4 corners! No need for them to be exactly the same.

 

This is a facebook live I did on the feathered quilts! It is best seen on You Tube and not necessarily through the blog. 

Sewalong Update and 2026 Eagle Quilt

Closing  up the house for our early morning flight! (This was Tuesday night) Was trying to get as many 4 patches done as I could- was hoping for half, which would be 160. 

116 was all I could get completed. They actually go pretty fast but I had a long list on my to-do's today, being down stairs with Elsa was one! As she ages it gets harder to leave. She cries as we start down the driveway of the boarders. We couldn't ask for better people. It is an older couple and they are amazing. Once they were keeping Porter when he was old and they brought him indoors by the wood stove! We trust them so much. Still hard to leave her. 

I'm ready to go when I get home!

I've mentioned an eagle quilt for the 250th anniversary of USA. This is my inspiration quilt. 

I'm mulling over a plan. My eagles will be different and my flag blocks will be smaller. The eagle is from Electric Quilt- you can see it HERE, in another quilt I made. 

This is the book the pattern is in. It is available on Jan's site HERE if you are interested. 

Have a wonderful week!

 

Houston Quilt Show Part 2 Photo Heavy

These are amazing quilts made by French Quilters. The exhibit was called The Power of Quilts. (More info at the end of the blog post) I think it is similar to Quilts of Legend- antique remakes of antiques all by hand! Keep that in mind as you scroll! 

I thought the printed border was interesting with the center muslin. 

                                         

I hope you enjoyed seeing these as much as I did!
