Dresden Turkey

I made a turkey pillow this weekend with Dresden plate tail feathers that I saw on a YouTube video by Missouri Star quilt company at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHBW_VbX6QY

Using the Easy Dresden ruler sure was easier than the traditional method.   You can get it at Amazon, Wal-Mart.com and of course Missouri Star Quilt Company.   I got mine from Missouri Star months ago but if you need it in a hurry I would go with Amazon.

Here’s a close-up of the little bead eyes.  I machine appliqued the turkey to a burlap front :

and made an easy envelope button back  so I can take it off the pillow and store because I make pillows for different seasons and just use the same feather pillow form.
