Great job! Those are adorable! Chickens were never my thing, but I love the funky ones. Thanks for sharing!
|
I think they are real cute...
|
Who needs to be kind your quilts are quirky and I love them.
|
Too funny! I love it! What book/pattern are you working from? I have a friend who would love this!
|
So cute!
|
very funny, you have done really well on t. I love it! Mary
|
Too cute, gave me a good chuckle, applique is something that takes a lot of practice but I've never been very good at it, only on small projects. Any chance you would share your "chicken" pattern"? Love it!!
|
These are very primitive but very cute and imaginative. I have never done applique before either. It looks like you have done a good job on your first try. I hope to get the guts to try applique as I have always wanted to have a Baltimore Album quilt. I can have such grandiose ideas. I know your next applique project will be fantastic. Jeannibelle

Great job. Love the chickens
|
I think this is a wonderful 1st try...........I haven't ventured into that yet.
|
where did you get the patterns from they are really great
|
yes we all want to know what is the pattern called and where did you get it? thanks Mary
|
That is just to cute. You did a great job.
|
Those are too cute! I love the one one the toilet...hahaha!!! :) Are you sure you haven't appliqued before?
|
Those are really funky! I love them!! Great work!
The chicken a la king is hilarious!! |
Oh I think that is so cute. I want to learn to applique too but it looks like you're doing a great job. I have the same material and also in yellow and pinks. I got mine a couple of years ago in Wal-Mart in Ar. Keep up the good work....
|
What a hoot! You did a great job and thanks for the chuckle
|
Charming sense of humor. Your applique is always improving cause we learn as we go. I sure did not do that good my firtst try. It is a great art. Marvel

I just bought the same book "Chicken Buffet" by Linda Huber & Bonnie Collins-My sister is "chicken Crazy" and I can't wait to start it for her birthday! I made her a chicken themed cover for her Kitchen-aid counter mixer for Xmas and she loved it! Yours is really cute-are you making the whole quilt?
|
just sew cute have to smile nice job.............
|
that is cute, you are doing good, you know that practice makes perfect :-D
|
Dummy me, I thought the first one was a "pooped chicken", but didn't know why the bottle was there. They are pretty cute and aren't you glad you jumped in?
|
You did a great job and they are so funny. Did you use fusible web and then stitch around that or use any stabilizer? I'm going to try applique soon and would like to know what technique you used. Thanks.
|
wow1 hope my first turns out only half as good as yours, Nice Job
|
Try using some of the decorative stitches on your machine for sewing around the edges of your appliques. It's fun and gives them a whole new look.
|
Thank you for sharing these. Brought a smile to my face after a tough day. I love your chickens!!
|
LOL the one sitting on the bowl is halarious! Good Job. Looks like a fun project.
|
The book is called Chicken Buffett

Love it. Well done.
|
Love your funky chickens. They are a hoot. Thanks for sharing. Will be looking for the book.
|
They are so cute.

My friend, Marie, raised chickens (named after women she used to work with), a goose named Geraldine and a deer named Jingle Foot. She recently passed away. But, having a terrific sense of humor, she would have absolutely loved these blocks. Once a fox kept killing her chickens. When they were all gone, Geraldine got so depressed. She would just sit on the back stoop and mope. So Marie had to go buy a duck for Geraldine as a pet!
|
Very cute, I love chickens. I bet they were fun to work on. I have yet to master applique, but my next project involves it. You did good.
|
Too cute.
|
These are just too cute! I am also going to give it a try. I have never attempted it.
|
love the chickens, good job.
|
Good gracious, that stewed chicken is a real "hoot", What fun they all are! Good job! :P MM
|
Saw this made up at the LQS. But have not found the book. Care to share the name?? Thanks.
