I did finish the feathers on my spicy runner early on Monday morning. I thought that all I would do is feathers, but I do need fillers after all on this runner. The edges are way to wavy for my liking so I am hoping that the fillers will help to flatten them down.
From the back, you can see I have some nice spaces to work the fillers in.
Day 9 - I had unexpected dental surgery and I didn't do much sewing in the past couple of days. But I did make a few practice sandwiches and started to get the feel of what McTavishing is. I haven't looked into it too deep, or watched any videos, but here is my first little try at it. 
I finished off the block and oops, I slipped back into a little comfort zone and did a little feather. I'm really getting to feel comfortable with feathers. I haven't done any echoing around the feather, so this is my first little attempt do do that. I like it. 
I'm done sewing for the long weekend because we're going to the cottage and my sister is visiting.
I'll resume my challenge starting Tuesday or Wednesday.
Happy Victoria Day. God Save our Gracious Queen.
