I finished a chicken quilt earlier this year for myself and my friend has drooled over it every time she has seen it. So, I am making a chicken quilt for her too-it is not exactly like mine, but I think she will like it. I will post pics when I have a more of the quilt finished-it will be soon because her birthday is Sept 14!! Right now I just have 6 blocks done.

I am finally sewing after months of being unable to. I have a new sewing corner and am currently working on quilting a wedding gift that I had put together and even spraybasted in March. I am about to stitch their names around the inside of the outer border. I have the house to myself this weekend and I plan on getting lots of quilting time in!!!!!

This reminds me of some wall hangings I have been seeing at the Houston International Quilt Festivle. A group there always has wall hangins, etc with hens roosters, dogs, cats, etc. They are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! One that comes to mind is that which has roosters and hens in the garden. The fabrics used for the feathers were perfect, and it was for sale from their booth. I was VERY VERY tempted to buy the pattern, but at $50.00 I had to consider that this might be one of those that just got added to my collection, and if I bought just the pattern where would I find the right fabrics later???? I have looked for these folks on the internet, but have not found them. The Quilt Show will be in November, I may not feel so bad about spending the $50.00 this time. I think it would be great to make either a table runner or a table cloth with chickens, but know that it would probably take a very long time.

Quilter1962--I love your wallhanging. I have never put beads on a quilt, but am always intriqued with them at shows. Please post another pic when you are finished with it...

I am working on a comfort quilt for my aunt Sherry who has MS and hasn't been doing very well lately. Its theme is cows. It has been called the "Dumpster Dive Quilt" by some. I'll post pics when I get the top pieced.
