This Watercolor Feather Embroidery Pattern came to be as I was playing with combining embroidery and watercolor painting. As you may remember, in the fall I watercolored fabric prior to embroidering leaf designs.

I have this basket with little scraps of fabric in it. Every so often I get in the mood in the evening to sew rather than knit. When that happens, I pull out my scrap basket and start cutting out hexagons. I have this quilt I’ve been working on on and off for years. It …
