This was the theme for February’s Postcard Challenge by Leah Cottam at Colorful Art Girl, and it really was a bit of a challenge for me to choose just one thing that I love. So I followed the first thought that came into my head and selected free-motion feathers.
The design is adapted from one of Mary Nordeng’s motifs in her book, "Extreme Makeover: Feather Edition" (I just LOVE this book), and I added some of my own touches to it. I knew I had chosen the right subject when I realized how much fun I was having while quilting it. What a great prompt for the month of Valentines, Leah!
My husband is in the kitchen this morning, and the aroma of chocolate biscotti and pasta fagioli is filling the house. Talk about things we love . . .
Life doesn’t get any better than this.

And your husband cooks?! Oh, yeah! Things we love.
Great stitching and thread! Is the background felt?
Gorgeous! Looks like a graceful feathered tulip telling us spring will soon be on our doorstep.
Talk about things to LOVE
Love the postcard! How did you get so much talent AND a husband that cooks! Can't wait to see your work in "500 Art Quilts". I've got my copy on order.

Mmmmmmm....I LOVE your postcard. You're the only one I know with the courage to quilt with the intention of having it show up on black. Of course, you're the only one I know with the skill to do it too! It's just wonderful!
What a great piece and I love the idea that your hubby cooks. How wonderful that must be!
