Not even sure I'll do it to be honest - might just do regular appliqué - been looking at rooster patterns and can't really find a good one for stained glass.

Don't worry Patti, it's not a competition - perish the thought! :D

I finally found a rooster I like on stained glass - Hans has photocopied him for me bigger in black and white so I'm going to try and turn him into stained glass but don't hold your breath! :wink:

Well, I can't wait to see him, I just know he'll be beautimous and probably very "cocky" :lol: :lol: :lol: (sorry...just couldn't help myself!)

Terri, you are just about covered in chicken fabric - get crackin' girl!!! :D

I think I'll start with an appliqué rooster as a centre piece and go from there - might do him stained glass, not sure yet. But at least an idea is starting to ferment! :D

Sorry, k, to pick on the differences in 'phrases', depending on where you live...love it, though :P ,...if I wait till an idea, 'ferments'...it means it's rotten!...thinking you like a little wine, maybe fermented ideas are just about - ripe there (right there), for you, LOL! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Patti - cocky is kind of proud, right? Or are you being RUUUUDDDDEEE!!! I think the double entendre is the same in the US as the UK?! :wink:

Hey Big Ears - about fermenting - while I was on a tour of a French vineyard, the owner said that grapevines are no good until they're at least 40 years old - like a woman...! :wink: Yup, everything they say about the French is true - wine, women and song tra la! :D
