Reminds me of an old cartoon from the 40s/50s LOL MGM did a cartoon of Bing Crosby as a Rooster and all the hens would swoon over him LOL

JNCT14

Oh I just love that and the Romeo Jr!!!! It will have log cabins on point on the bottom in little flower pots and either a white board or pockets to hold envelopes, pens, stamps, etc. I am leaning towards the white board though.

I almost fell over laughing when I read this! There was a guy they called RJ in my mom's neighborhood when I was in high school. I'm thinking that rooster fits his personality pretty well!

oh you need more gold shoes. I can not wear heals but you can wear them for me! I would wear those if I could. hey can I borrow them take a pic while sitting and send them right back? I have ballet flats in velvet in my closet. waiting for one day when I need to get fancier. beat its like in Dec lots of snow never work or mid summer velvet really> so for now I wear moccasins and am happy.

Ok next Romeo needs a rose in his beak or under his wing or something for his babe to be! great job on him, mine is a bit less refined. I cant draw realistic critters so mine are always cartoon like

Well you're ahead of me missy, I can't draw either one. Now I know if I need one, you are my artist miss brat!! Guess if I could find a coloring book with what I wanted in it, I could maybe get it traced. Don't think that would work either, I can't paper piece worth a darn.

Paper piece my toes. I hate paper piecing and this is just fusible web! I copied the rooster from a potholder using graph paper just to get the proportions correct. Break it into simple shapes like puzzle pieces.

Good day every one, I'm on vacation this week and have two projects going. My WH is almost ready for quilting and I am preparing a big quilt for the LAM.

will post a few shots soon.
peace

JNCT14 you've given me new hope, may have to try that next time I need a little "funky character"

Here is a sampling of what may be my WH swap piece. There are a few more ideas floating around in my brain so more offerings to come.

This is the first time I tried using my Bloc- Loc ruler to square up my HST blocks. It works great. The blocks squared up and nice points at intersections.

I call this The Last Summer Rose

EDIT: For those of you with a good eye, you may notice I put the bottom row on up side down. I wanted to alternate the rust and brown blocks. The row mysteriously got turned around when pinning it. So I will be doing some un- sewing!
