I dont know if you want credit or blame. After Harmony mentioned Bonnie Blue I just had to go look again and wouldnt you know it they were having a sale!!!!
Marcia got me hooked on the chicken fabric after sending me some of her fabric that she used in her adorable chicken quilt!!!

Those are awesome!!!! I love chickens!

:mrgreen: Melissa, ya' can't trust any of these people, now can you? Every time I come here, someone else gives a link & I am off looking & first thing you know, the fingers are a'twitching & something else is ordered. SIGH

I did get that bolt of Economy Cloth & WOWSER!! Fast service & I totally DELIGHTED with the quality!
I had as fast service from them as I have had with credit cards. They do not do the plastic, checks or money orders only. I sent a check, thinking it would be 2 or 3 weeks. 6 days after mailing from Texas to Maryland, the bolt was delivered by UPS! Nice people to do business with. (THANKS Marcia!!!)

I LUV your new fabric, especially that CW Repo!

Riley

Hey Riley I went to Hobby Lobby today and they had some of the good muslin back in!!! Yipeee!!!! I bought 6 yards just to have on hand, Probably should have bought the whole bolt but since I had already spent a bundle for this stuff on line I figured I better stop there.

Marcia, I think we should claim FULL credit! The girl is good at what she does, and I'm sure she'll turn those fabrics into something special!

Ok I will only use the Blame aspect of it if DH should decide to throw a fit about my purchases this week! :lol: :lol:

Melissa, glad you got the muslin at Hob Lob. No telling when I would have any one to stay with DH so I am happy to have this bolt that I have. I rarely get a chance to leave the house.

I am frothing to do a Seven Sisters. Now the decision is WHAT to do it in? Scraps, 1930 Repos, etc etc? Hey, I have the background!!!! :mrgreen:

So, what'cha gonna do with your roosters/hens? Something lovely I already know!

Riley

ARe you ever going to have fun with all those. You did some seirous shopping. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
I'm working ond designing now. You're next up :-) woohooo!

Here is the link to Marcia's quilt that is my inspiration

http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/7907.page

I will do something similar to that. I think it is just awesome!

OMG!!!! Jack you shouldnt have told me that! Now I am going to drive myself nuts with excitement!!!!! I cant wait!!!!

Ok are you done yet? :lol: :lol: :wink:

Loretta, it is a great site! lots of different lines of 1800's fabric. I also use it as a reference for some of the sites that dont tell what era a particular line is from especially when they are on sale.

Okay, Melissa-If Harmony is going to take the credit then I guess I will just be the one to take the blame. :lol: Tell DH it is all my fault because I sent those chicken fabrics and got you going!!

I love the ones you bought-recognize some from my quilt-others are brand new to me. FUN!!!

I love the CW repros too. Yummy!!!!

I gotta check out this Bonnie Blue web site. Looks like I may be spending more money!!

Riley-I am sooo glad you are happy with your ecology cloth. You made me so nervous when you said you ordered a whole bolt just on my recommendation-and you don't know me from Adam!!! LOL

I made a pledge that I wouldn't buy anymore fabric until my GMQ frame arrived in September and BOY am I regretting that now after seeing the Williamsburg Centennial fat quarter bundle at Bonnie Blue!! Thanks for the temptation LADIES (and gents)!!

hey Melissa,

i've never been drawn to chicken fabric, but I love your selection! PLEASE post pictures when you begin and finish your quilt!!

Steph

I love the fabrics you chose!

My original intentions were to make just a wall hanging with the chickens but... I think with all the patterns I found on line and with all the fabric, I will be making a large quilt! These chickens are addicting too!

aren't those cute....I like chickens too....kitchen is decked out in them and the top of my cuboards might hold one or two more and one cabinet is full too...oh there just laying and hatching and crowing everywhere....I could use some placemats.....

I never was either until I saw Marcia's quilt!!!!!! :lol:

How cute are the chicken prints!!! Awesome fabrics!! can't wait to see what you create with them!!

Can't wait to see what you come up with. Post plenty of pics.

Beautiful fabrics-and that chicken quilt looks like fun---well--for you. It makes me smile. :D

And, ah, Melissa--I do believe it was you who sent me to Bonnie Blue about a month ago--so you see it's true--what goes around, comes around. :lol: :lol:

I can't wait to see what you make!!

HA! Melissa, I think the appropriate phrase here is that you were "hoist on your own petard!" I know, it's a weird phrase, but I love it that you are just as guilty as the rest of us in encouraging "fabric delinquency"!

Love the fabrics Melissa, those chickens are cute. Looked at the quilt and see why you got hooked, its just so funny it made me laugh.

The CW fabrics are lovely.

Sorry maybe I wasn´t supposed to laugh :lol: :lol: I loved it.

Elle

Who? Me!!! :shock:

Yes, you.

And--thanks!! :wink:

woww.....woww woww great looking fabric....The chickens are ready to lay plenty of eggs.....awesome.... :lol: :lol:

Elle-it's my chicken quilt-and I am flattered that it made you laugh :D It makes me smile every time I look at it. The whole purpose of this quilt was for the fun of it! So, laugh away!!

LOL! I knew someone here would be inspired by that chicken quilt. I love your fabric, Melissa! Where did you find it? I'm feeling the sudden urge to make a chicken quilt too. :roll:

They are the bundles, about 1/2 way down the page. But they have them by the yard too.

Cha-Ching!!! Thanks Melissa!

Love your fabrics and also want to do a chicken quilt.

I never was much into chickens other then baby chicks, but I gotta admit, I sure like those.. Great fabrics

Oh-I feel so guilty now-I have never been an enabler before! But I have to admit that I am flattered to be your chicken inspiration! You go, Melissa-get these women fired up-you could have a "eggs"-citing time making chicken quilts-it would give you something to crow about!

Aw Marcia, you can enable me any time :lol: :lol: :lol:

OMG Melissa!!!! I think I've died and gone to fabric heaven. I've never been to the Bonnie Blue website! It's AWESOME!! Repro's are my favorites! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Your chicken fabrics are too cute! I'm another who can't wait to see what you do with them!!

oh, I love it all

okay now don't forget to sew an egg below a chicken so you can say see the chicken came first. To cool can't wait to see what you do with this fabric.
