Tutorial and pattern: Felt feather quill pen or pencil topper

There’s something romantic about writing with a quill pen, as if all your words will be automatically poetic and pithy. American Felt and Craft shares a free pattern for making a felt quill pen topper that you can slide over the top of your regular pen (or pencil), so you can have all the joy of writing with a quill pen but keep all the convenience of modern writing. This is such a cute project and would make a great gift when paired with a blank journal!!
