Author Pamela HumphriesAbout the Author

Newly retired after 32 years as a communications consultant, Pamela, a non-sewer other than buttons and hems, happened to watch an episode of Simply Quilts in 1999 and a new passion was born. She started with machine piecing but found it too frustrating and never finished that first quilt. A decision to try it by hand was the solution.

Pamela loves bird-watching and other outdoor activities and she studied field guides and photographs before making original drawings for the 24 birds. Using mostly large-scale printed commercial fabrics to achieve subtle shading effects, Pamela constructed each bird using needle-turn appliqué and then sewed the finished units to the background.

Pamela's favorite part of the process is hand quilting, and she spent over one thousand hours quilting one quilt. When working on Feathered Beauties, she quilted for eight hours a day, taking occasional breaks for lunch, exercise and playing with her dog. Pamela is thrilled that her quilt is a part of the permanent collection of the Museum of the American Quilter's Society.
