Conference stitching - quilting is complete

Remember this post from 3 weeks ago?  I am currently trying to work on a surprise project , and the recipient was unexpectedly at home all day today, when I expected him to be out.  So, I had to devote my stitching energies to something else.  Practising with BottomLine thread as both top and bobbin thread, a size 70 needle,  and trying out  a Supreme Slider, this was all stitched freeform, with the spine of the feathers marked before starting.  i am pleased with this, ( approximately 20 x 25 cm)
