Feather Stitch is this week's stitch for Take a Stitch Tuesday at
www.pintangle.com It's another favorite of mine-and, yes, there are stitches I don't like.
Here are some variations.
It makes a good filling stitch especially when done in a variety of threads to create interest.
Blogger wanted this in the middle. I've been playing in the 13" of snow we had or stitching by the wood stove. That is-or was- a tall Flowering Plum tree. It has 2 major splits, so I hope we can save it. Melting and messy now but such a surprise for an area that rarely gets much snow.
Historically, it was used a lot in Crazy quilt and finds it's way into all of my blocks. A friend gave each of us in the quilt group the "lady" fabric and challenged us to do something with it.

Your feather filling stitches are so beautifully precise! wow! Nice variations, and I like the 'feathery' thread you used.
I love your hairy/plumy feather stitch
Like both the other commentors I like the hairy one.
Lovely Sandy. I really like the wispy one.
Great stitch. Wow, I didn't realize you got so much snow. That must have closed the city down!
I like your variations. Nice work.
Beautiful feather stitching. I like your first sample very much.
