Last night at the Friday Night Sew In I worked on a tumbler mug rug.
I had pieced it from leftover 3" tumbler blocks I cut with the GO! cutter.
Once it was layered with foil batting and backing fabric, I drew out the veins of the feather in chalk (not my usual choice of marking but I just needed a rough guide).
Using Aurifil thread top and bottom I started by free motion quilting the channel veins first, and then filling in the feathers.
This is the back.
The design was inspired by this Karen McTavish book.
I did the binding last night too. The mug rug is 9"x13". It will be a door prize for a quilt show I am participating in next month.
Thanks Bobbi and Heidi for hosting another fun evening.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!♥
