I love to sew, with 7 daughters and 16 grandchildren, somebody ALWAYS needs something fixed or sewn. I went into my first quilting store to look at material and walked around with my mouth open for about an hour.... So making a long story short I made my first quilt. "Chicks on Parade" I hope you like it!

The princess in the center is getting ready for the local parade. She is wearing a crown made from lace made by my Great Great Grandmother.

Daddy Rooster in the corner is SO proud that he's popped his button. The chicks on the bottom left are having a "tug-o-worm".
