Oh my goodness. I've been gone a few days and almost missed this. Glad I got to see your beautifal work. Not just the quilt but your work on it is impressive. It turned out great.
Love it. Your very talented. Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

I just love it. You've done a beautiful job!

GORGEOUS!!!!!!
It's beautiful :thumbup:

that would be an awesome wall hanging !

Very nice. :thumbup:

Oh my goodness! Im an rooster fan,,,,gotta send this to me!!LOL no sugesstion but just wanted to tell you how beautiful this is, not busy at all!

Beautiful quilt............I think I would pick one or several colors from the roosters and do just vertical straight stitching on the black border.
Good Luck,

Dorrie

Stunning. I love chickens and roosters.

Wow great quilt, I love the coloring you did with the thread.

This is beautiful

Love it! Roosters are kind of a favorite of mine! Used that chicken wire fabric, too and its very effective. Great work!

Yes, I've seen the Mekenna Ryan patterns, if fact the blue background and the wine background fabrics are from her line. Maybe even a few more too. I was thinking about getting her four rooster patterns and making a wall hanging. I'm so hooked on thread painting, gotta find something else to do. It is so much fun, not nearly as intimadating as doing free motion on big open spaces.

I have SO much to learn. What is thread painting? I've never heard of that before.

And, your quilt is just beautiful!!!

It's a wonderful quilt top! Sorry, no quilting ideas from me ... I'm seriously challenged when it comes to actual quilting.

Thread painting is just using alot of thread to enhance your picture. Instead of satin stitching or blanket stiching I tried to kinda add enough thread to make a feathery look. I did it with rayon thread that also adds alittle shine. I'm not sure that's a proper definition but that's how it was explained to me.

I love seeing where everyone is from.[/quote]

I do too! And getting so I recognize regulars.

Wow, what a beautiful quilt top. Can't wait to see the final! I know you'll make something beautiful by the way you have done your work so far.

Very colorful.

Oh my gosh, I love your chickens! And quilt!

the quilt with the Chicken is what I have looked for all over our area. Where would I find them? Your work is really marvelous.

You did a great job on the chickens love it

Your quilt is wonderful.

Oh my, that is absolutely beautiful.

I did some looking on the Internet and found the designer. You can still get her patterns. Her phone # is 903-868-3105 She will be happy to send them to you. She said she's not doing shows anymore, just still designing.

Thank you so much. I have been searching the internet and could not find her webpage.

Shirley really does make beautiful patterns. I've used those chickens on a set of 8 placemats. I have a couple of her other designs. You should see some of her quilts. She has/had one hanging on a wall in her living area. The designs on it were connected to her family history. Absolutely stunning. She lives at the end of the street that is behind our house.

you did a beautiful job, I really don't like chickens. but the last few times, there have been chickens on them. and I liked those to. thank you for sharing you piece of art. God bless. Penny

I love your Chickens!

OH WOW!!!!! I love it. It is just Beautiful.

Wow, wow, wow! Loveeeee this quilt. Beautiful.

Really great job!

Where did you get the country chicken patterns to do the blocks? I love the look of your quilt!

You did a great job in the details. Our QG is having a chicken challenge next month. Can you suggest where I could find one of the chicken pattern?

Wow! The batiks worked really great in your quilt. I really love it.

WOW!!! I love the batiks you used, and the threadpainting has really set them off nicely!!!
Good Job :thumbup: :D:D:D
