Freehand Swirls

Barbara lives on the west coast. Her sister, Sue went to visit her and brought this quilt back. I completed it before she came to visit her sister in Michigan. I love the colors in this quilt. Batiks!! I quilted it with an overall freehand swirl. Great job, Barbara! Sorry it took me a bit to post your quilt's pictures, I had technical difficulties with my camera, good thing Marcia took some photos for the blog, too.

Freehand feathers with a smokey feel. I think that the back is as great as the front!

Feathers!

Here is a kit my Mom bought for me. This is my first attempt at free hand feathers. I really like how this turned out. I don't know why I waited so long to try this stitch.  I used a dense echoing circles on the outer border. I really enjoyed this project.
