On Saturday I didn't have much time, but managed to try another small feather and practice a couple of fills.I will definitely be buying a wash away marker tomorrow! I tried a green chalk marker and I find it very hard to remove. I just made a mess (with a good soaking I'm sure it would come out, but I want something that's easier to remove).
Today I tried marked designs. My stitch length suffered a bit because I was trying to stay at least close to the marked line. There are quite a few teeny stitches! I like one of the flower motifs and the large motif turned out good. I started doing the bump method of feathers but kept going back to the method of backtracking down the length of each feather. It was a good learning day.

Next time I'll try taking pictures in the daylight. I'm working on muslin but it looks more like a grey fabric. I am really enjoying this challenge. I'm not sure I would have tried any of this without it.
