My mother loved chickens. She grew up in VA during the Depression, on a farm. I have inherited her love for them, also. Mother always liked to see the new born horses and calves in the spring. She is gone now. Love your chickens.

Once I figured out how the technique and how I was going to use it to make a chicken, of all things, it didn't take long at all - maybe an hour and a half with the snipping and ironing.

It's not so much to master the technique but it is time-consuming cutting all of the little pieces for the feathers. Then I had to pick each one up with tweezers, set several of them in place and then iron them on.
There are lots of snippet projects on the web - just google snippet quilting - but I think the chicken idea is so much fun.

So here is the picture of my Snippets chicken and my other chickens from the guild challenge......
