Jude Hill, of SpiritCloth, is gathering 1000 embroidered feathers from around the world and sewing them together. She says:
"The Magic Feather Project is a collective stitching project focused on creative sharing and giving. The magic feather has been my personal symbol for almost forever. With the idea of making it a symbol of something bigger than just myself, I thought I would share it with you and you in turn might stitch one (at least) and send it to me so I might, in turn, sew a bunch together and put the larger cloth to some charitable use.My target for any charity efforts connected with this project is children. Their well being and education. I may give or donate some of the cloths directly or donate them for auction. We'll see."
She also has a Facebook page and a Flickr page, if you would like to see some of the wonderful donations she has already received.
I'm finding them a bit addictive to make.... These are sewn on a piece of roughish cotton which I indigo dyed at the shibori workshop I went to earlier this year. The one where I had to walk home 3 miles carrying a bucket and drainpipe and looking like a bag lady. Oh, don't remind me. Anyway, the bits where the dye was resisted look a little bit feathery in places, so I though I would use silks in similar shades to create some harmony.
The backing cloth in this one is an old soft thick piece of cotton which was an altar cloth in a previous life. It's actually a bit more of an ochre colour than it looks and is gently faded in the folds. The thread was some hand-dyed I bought years ago from Myfanwy.
In between feathers I've free-machine stitched some little brooches. This poor bunny perhaps needs reporting to the RSPCA, with its dislocated tail and withered back leg....
Job for today: removing Bondaweb glue from the ironing-board cover before my husband permanently fixes his work-shirt to it....

This is a lovely post with a great ending. Made me smile and I especially like the little dog. The feathers are great. I think I might try some.
Love the feathers - they are very tempting - your bond-a-web tale made me smile too!
Beautiful feathers and the MFP is a sweet idea. Hee hee, the ironing board comment made me giggle (I think we've all been guilty of similar!).
You've got a husband who knows what an ironing board is???? How on earth did you find one of those?
Beautiful feathers - off to look at more..........
Feathers, Bunnies and Doggies...great combo.
Buy another ironing board, I have, takes the worry out of being creative. x
Deny all knowledge of the ironing board... that's what I do! Love the feathers on the indigo.
Oh Chrissie - you are just so talented. How on earth do you make the time for all that you do!? I particularly love the feathers on the altar cloth - it's the colours, they're so gorgeous - and the very surprised looking doggie. Perhaps he didn't see the large spike coming .......

Hey superwoman, is there nothing you can't do?! Love those feathers in all their wonderful indigo-ness but that dog is to die for. He - is it a he or she? - has given me an idea. May I nick his little shape for something? Lesley x
Haven' seen a post from you so hope you are well. Wander over to the postmans knock blog and see if you fancy the idea of a Christmas " do"?
For years, I have read and seen the advertisements in the mass media about all of the penis enhancement pills and thought that they were all scams or gimmicks. All of the medical sites that I have visited stated that none of the herbal supplements would ever help increase the size of a penis. I got very depressed when I read this, because unfortunately I was not naturally blessed with a penis that was big enough to arouse my sexual partner or past partners. I am a man that is past my sexual prime time and my sexual performance has a lot to be desired. I decided to try Doctor Akhigbe herbal medicine after all the reading and researching that I have done.I saw a testimony " Joe" about doctor Akhigbe Herbal Medicine Since there is a Money Back Guarantee, I will give him a trial. What did I have to lose? I couldn't believe the results I was seeing after drinking the Natural Herbal Medicine and Herbal Soap to be Rubin my penis! He sent it to me through the DHL courier delivery service . Within about 2 weeks I had a noticeable increase in the girth of my penis. Then after a couple of additional weeks it started to grow in length and I was amazed and very excited.before I finished the drink and the soap my penis had grown an additional two inches. I've had a considerable improvement with my sex life and these pills are certainly worth every penny I spent on them!
