Guess what?

Frosted Feathers is back from the framers and I have already hung it on the wall!

The finished feathers!

All of the feathers are stitched!  I will take this off the frame and get it to the framer!

And that one too

The pink and white one is all done and there are two left to do!  This is going fast!

White and pink

This next very large feather is done in white and then surrounded by pink....quite a bit is done, but more to go on it.  Then below it, you can see the outline of the last two feathers in this  piece.

Fancy!

This one turned out very fancy, I think!   Just a couple more to go!

Back to blue

The lower left feather is done in 2 shades of blue....did not get this one all done today!

Another pair

The two at the bottom in the center are done....one is lighter than the other, but it does not show up well...

Very open

This next feather is very open!  More Marlitt for the feather itself and Kreinik for the base stitches.

Two more

The very top left blue feather and bottom right green feathers are now done.

Number 7

Feather # 7 is done....all in pink and accented with minty green

Two small ones

The top one is blue, pink and white frosted...the one below is just two shades of purple

Four!

I finished feather four!  It is highly textured but fits in with the frosted others.

So far........

I finished feather 3 by adding sprays of Marlitt over the top of the previous stitching.  Feather 4 is also done in Marlitt.   I was working right along and realized I mad a counting area way back where I started.  So I ripped all of yesterday out and started over!  This is the base pattern with more to come on the large feather.

Two, most of three

It is a bit of a dark photo but you can see that feather 2 is done and most of three is finished.  All Marlitt except the base of two which is Kreinik.

So far

Busy day today but I got the base of the feather done and will work on the rest of it tomorrow!

The first feather

Here is the first feather.....not what you expected is it?  I am working with Anchor Marlitt and Kreinik #8.

What in the world?

My next project is from the stash.  Frosted Feathers is by Debbie Deem.  It calls for hand painted 24 count Congress Cloth, so.....Mom painted it for me since she is the painter in the family.  It is on 10 x 14 stretcher bars and I am changing the fibers and colors.
