A Prick With Pointy Needles

I feel like that calls for another one. In a colour way I haven’t done yet.

Got around to loading this on the long arm. I used a lightly patterned dark purple cotton on the back from Northcott and light purple thread so the quilting would show up.

I think it’s gorgeous.

Light purple thread on the top as well so it shows up on the darkest outer fabric and blends in the further to the center it gets.

Floral quilting pattern of course, so go with the dark floral print.

It’s okay

FINALLY FINISHED !!!

I’ve been at this since like September. Originally the plan was to do five panels but by the time I reached three I realized it was absolutely going to be too heavy. If the back bothers me then I’ll just buy some black fabric and sew it on.

I pinned it excessively since I have been warned the feathers won’t flatten unless blocked aggressively. They still don’t behave themselves 100% but again, if it bothers me I’m willing to steam block it in the future. Super fun before and after pics.

Pattern is of course the feathered wings shawl by my favorite pattern designer craftyintentions.

This is Hayley Tsang Heather's Peony – Pfingstrose Shawl. I made this shawl out of Fyberspates Gleem Lace in the colorway 733 Everglade, and used 896 6/0 Miyuki Rocailles in the color: transparent silver-lined dark gold (RR-4).

Looking for a really warm hat and want to look like a 16th century whaler? Then I have just the thing. A really nice replica of a Basque whaler cap, made according to original archaeological findings.
