Feathered Heart.....Machine Quilting

Machine Quilted Feathered Heart

White Cotton Fabric, Cotton Batting,
White Cotton Aurifil Thread,
80/12 Sharp Needle

Trace heart shape onto white cotton fabric

Question mark shapes......feathered spine lines

I stitch from the bottom of the heart...
I can see better when stitching out the feather plumes

Begin stitching plumes up the right side of the heart...

The right side of the heart is all stitched with plumes

I am ready to begin stitching plumes
on the opposite side of the heart...

I would normally stitch this out without stopping,
but I am taking it out so you can view the progress.

On the left side is my sketch on paper...
on the right is the heart ready to stitch the next section.

Both sides of the heart have been stitched with plumes

I will begin stitching in the center area of the heart...
My sketch will show you where I plan to stitch next.

I have filled up the right side of the center area...

I will begin filling in the opposite side of the heart center...

It's almost done...

The heart is completely feathered...

I sprayed water and removed the blue markings.

Here is a chocolate heart I feathered.

I am working with a Bernina Artista 200

Before machine quilting...
I usually warm up with a feather design.

Gunnr....a 93 pound boxer, keeps me company...
he snoozes under the sewing machine.
