Late Fall Chicken Quilt Block Swap - Page 7

Marty...I so love that duck on your avatar...I sure wish they'd stay that size :)  Got the most of mine cut and started to sew.  I am doing the chicken fabric incorporated into a maple leaf block.  I am so having issues the stem piece, I just don't get it....so going to applique the stem, is way easier than the headache and wasting fabric, now back to the machine :)

I totally understand.  I ended up doing applique for some of my hen blocks.  I'm doing smaller hen blocks, with a modified log cab surrond on two sides.  It can be frustraiting, but we're not being graded.  Its all for love and for free.  The best way anyway.

 

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

 

 

Why is there brail at drive up ATMs??

 

 

Why are their floatation devices instead of parachutes in my airplain seat???

 

 

If a tree falls in the woods and my husband doesn't hear it, am I still wrong????

Made with love is more important than perfect. I haven't seen that chicken fabric. I would have loved it for the kitchen curtains I just finished.
