This second couching class with Helen Godden was also fun to complete. First I traced the design of the bird and foliage on the white fabric background. Next, time for free motion quilting the background. I used echo quilting around the bird design. Then I sectioned off the different areas of the background to free motion quilt using some of my favorite designs. I am glad that I practiced the yarn couching with the landscape quilt first. It was a challenge to complete the small bird sections. I used the a black fabric marker for the legs, beak and eye. For the binding, I used 4 strand of variegated green yarn.
The finished size is 17″ x 26″.
Keep having fun sewing and quilting. Donna
What a great job. The couching class sounds interesting, and I love what you did with the bird and greenery.
