Ok, found the red barn wood, the chicken wire and the stacked stones there; no hay/straw, no black roof boards, no wood framing for the blocks.....so where those? And Anne Marie, WHERE did you find those chicken patterns? They look like Scratching Post but I have all hers and those aren't in them. I LOVE chickens!

The chickens are cute but your idea for the barn is what makes it just so darn fun!!

If you can't find a place, send it to me...I have the perfect spot in my kitchen, which is decorated with chickens!!!

Hi Ann Marie, your wall hanging is wonderful! Everything about it is wonderful!!! You did a great job. I visualize a chicken wire basket hanging under it (maybe home made) filled with straw and eggs.

Elaine433 04-27-2013 05:00 AM

That is just too cute especially since we got our first ever chickens this year. I need to make something like that.

Been looking to. I seen the red barn wood, stacked stones and chicken. Would love to know where to get the rest plus those darling chickens.

The chicks are all original based on chicken shapes from a pattern called "Hip Chicks" (I think there was a similar pattern in a magazine at one time too). It is an easy shape to draw and the chicken blocks are about 8" x 12" in size. We kept with the black and white body shape and then each lady improvised with the rest of the design so they all came out different. I have had the hay fabric for many years and have no idea where you could get more of that but you may be able to come up with a grass type fabric or just use gold fabric and add stitching to it to make it look more like straw - just an idea. The wood framing is a batik fabric that I found at eQuilter about a year ago - however there are lots of wood type fabrics out there that I think would work just as well. The black roof boards also came from eQuilter but I have seen some other roof shingles that I think would work well.

that is just super... what is the name of the chicks pattern... so so so cute.. and the barn was a great idea...

wordpaintervs 04-27-2013 08:18 AM

While I wasn't real happy about doing this exchange - I love the way it turned out. Now I just need to find a place to hang it in my home!
