Ha ha ha ha ... I love these chickens! The ones in the pot are so funny! I sure hope I get one.

RedGarnet yours are Cute! But the one you posted 'Has' the print where it looks like He has an EYE! :)

RedGarnet222 08-22-2012 05:20 PM

Hey your right! So funny, I didn't notice that. He looks like he has a big butt like me... LOL!

I will start the satin stitching on my second one tomorrow. I think you gals are gonna like it. I sure do.

Annaquilts 08-22-2012 09:04 PM

Redgarnett it is a MOO chicken with that print. Very cute! Indeed that one doesn't need an eye.

Here is the set number two! These blocks get a tiny bead for the eyes. Want me to sew them on or send them along on my name tag?

Tomorrow's birds I am making are a little more "funky". I just had to make these little chickies. They called to me... LOL!

Mariposa 08-23-2012 03:37 PM

Red- cute chickies! But please do not attach the bead. :)

Ok I've finished up my 3 sets of Chickens and will be mailing them on the first...
I had to change the one with the eyes so this is what they will look like.

My blocks are 6.5 and 9.5 and 12.5

Eyes are only taped on not glued or sewed

Red work chickens, baby chicks and funky chickens, I love them all. This will make a super cute quilt. I am already talking about joining another chicken block swap in the future. chicken blocks are addictive.

Hey, thanks girls! I have another set of cute applique blocks all ready to finish the edges on tomorrow. This might be the last set. I am not sure. There is an embroidery one I was thinking of making. We will see how the time goes.

Cute ur god's child2!

Here is the fourth set... I think the last too. This was fun everyone.

Annaquilts 08-27-2012 02:38 PM

redgarnet your chicken looks like she has attitude the way she is strotting. Adorable feet! I used the same back ground fabric for my egg block. It reminded me of straw.

urgodschild- Love your funky chickens. wonderful crazy colors and too cute with the sky is falling.

Chicken Stalker here, lol. Actually I participated in the last funky chicken swap and JUST tonight got all the blocks together in a top. Thought I'd share it with y'all since you are in the spirit and I doubt if any of the "oldies" would go back and look from 2010 or so. We made changes to many the blocks so they would fit in our "puzzle" -- some we cut, some we added, some we rotated and some we just plopped them in. Now we have to come up with a border of some sort but phew, this part is finished. Just had to cluck about it :)

overall view -- don't know the size but it's decent sized to cover this tablecloth.

You might recognize "yours" in there from before.

Our biker chick

Hopefully this was some inspiration to get those blocks flying!

(Didn't do this swap ... Dad had slight stroke and is staying with us and supervising my quilting...he is a great "ironer" but I didn't want to get overloaded since I had signed up for the Boomerang).

Thanks for letting me jump in...now, back to your regularly scheduled swappers.:D
