BLACKBIRD DESIGNS LOOSE FEATHERS CLUB
The Loose Feathers Club is run by Blackbird Designs, and consists of a series of exclusive designs that are available only to subscribers but not to the general public (although some do manage to get onto the market a year or two later!). See below for some previous designs to get a taster of the style of these beautiful designs.
This year’s theme is stitching accessories. There will be six patterns released throughout the year, and the final release will be a piece that will store/display these fine needlework accessories. Blackbird Designs will be using hand-dyed fabrics and flosses as usual. You may use whatever fabric you choose, but if you would like to use the fabric specified it is important that you sign up for this on the order form. We do stock the hand-dyed threads used in the Loose Feathers designs - mostly Weeks Dye Works this year, but also Crescent Colours, so if you would like some or all of these for each design, do let us know and we can add these to your order.

Joining the Loose Feathers Club
The 2009/2010 series started in April, but if you missed the March deadline, we may be able to add you to the list as a latecomer! This does depend on whether our suppliers in the USA have back-stock of the designs - but we will at least try for you! Click here for printable sign-up form.
Cost is £5.95 per mailing (plus first-class stamp) for the chart - and if you'd like the hand-dyed R&R Reproductions linen as well, this is an extra £8.99 per mailing.
