Can’t seem to stop creating these! There is no end to how one can divvy up the real estate that lies inside an arched swag framework. I used my PTD 12 arc ruler to make the initial framework, then threw in a 1/4 inch parallel channel, then a 1/2 inch parallel channel, and then a 3rd 1/4 inch parallel channel:
(Remember, all parallel channels are made using whatever ruler was used to create the original framework, so the PTD 12 arc was the ruler used for all the channels.) Next up, I threw in a melon shape along the center vertical axis. I used the PTD 6.5 arc for this, then threw in a tapered channel using the PTD 12 arc ruler:
I then added a featherette to fill the “empty spaces” surrounding the center melon:
…and then I added a row of pearls inside the 1/2 inch parallel channel:
…then finished up with a row of pearls inside the center melons:
I love, love, love designs that merge ruler work and feathers…can you tell?!
Filed under Free Motion Quilting, ruler work on a HDSM.
I love your designs. You inspire me to keep stretching and trying new things. Now I want to do more designs with channels.
Thank you.
