I ...Thanks everyone for the wonderful compliments! I really appreciate them all so much more than I can express in words. I apologize for my slow response and the time between postings. I am currently serving on Jury Duty. For some reason every time I am summoned, I am selected to serve. So along with my 9-5 job responsibilities, my family, and my quilting, I've been spending the last 5 days as a juror. Oh well, it is my civic responsibility.<br /><br />My feathers are a direct result of a few classes with Diane Gaudynski. As awesome as her work is, her greatest talent is the ability to teach others. Really and truly, FMQ results are a direct result of how much time and practice you put in and the quality and type of materials you use. Put your toe in the water! It may not be perfect but believe me each time you try it does get better and better. If you zoom in on my photos you will see the feathers are FAR from perfect - but I know each time I try they improve.<br /><br />My 830 Chat group is an Yahoo Group. Click on the 830 icon on the right hand side of my blog page and it will take you to the page to join the group. They are excellent. Post any question and lots of owners, dealers, etc. will respond with answers, info, and sometimes even links to "how to" on some topics. I find them extremely valuable.<br /><br />Thank you also for the kind words on Enchantment Under the Sea. If you are not a hand applique person or if the project is a little overwhelming to tackle by hand, I did include a 4 page booklet on how to complete this project by machine with NO ADHESIVES or FUSIBLE products. <br /><br />I think I have answered everyone's questions. Thank you again everyone for the kind words! Now I'm off to Jury Duty again!<br /><br />Best stitches,<br />Mercy in hot, humid MiamiMercy Arrastia Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234560841577752009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422039577334738332.post-29411752233238577892010-07-22T04:38:54.934-07:002010-07-22T04:38:54.934-07:00Congratulations on your new venture!

I know I'll never be able to quilt like you, but I'm dying to make that quilt! Also, a question for you, how does wool batting wash up? I wash even my art quilts.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422039577334738332.post-38552148160775168402010-07-21T07:01:48.304-07:002010-07-21T07:01:48.304-07:00Awesome feathers!Awesome feathers!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125486376961963538noreply@blogger.com
