I finally tried to do some feather quilting. I have always loved feathers, but I haven't been able to do them, I just wasn't gifted with artistic talent like my husband. But I love them and so I thought I would give it a shot. I found an article in a magazine that had a slightly different method to do them and it just clicked. I can draw really great ones on paper. But when it comes to doing them on the quilt, it was harder to get them to look right, but I least I tried them. I was fairly pleased with the way that they turned out, although I still have a long ways to go.

Netbook Sleeve
I'd been looking for a sleeve that would fit my chunky Dell netbook. I tried a few different ones, but didn't have any luck. I'm glad I didn't, because I ended up making my own and really like the way it turned out. I used this pattern for a laptop sleeve that I found on SewMamaSew, and adjusted the measurements to fit. I skipped the velcro, and opted for a cute ceramic button from Joann's. I couldn't find any round elastic cording, so I used a random green hair elastic from our bathroom drawer.
