Some look slightly addled....
Some look surprised....
And some look mutant....
I may need to change the orientation of this chicken's body since it looks like she has a 3rd eye there!
I'm really loving these gals. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to in the blank spaces between them. I'm thinking of a Hens and Chickens block pieced in random dotty fabrics. My son suggested that they have a roost underneath them made from a wood grain fabric and I think that's a good idea. He is quite the creative chap. It was his idea for bigger googly eyes and he was so right! He also suggested that I name them - I LOVE that idea! He thought that each one should wear one of those sticky back name tags they give you at meetings - kinda funny. I'm still mulling over how I'd accomplish this. I'm thinking little signs over each one with their name. I could add it after it is quilted. I think I may have something there.
Please stop by tomorrow and I'll show some pics of the workshop with Ami Simms. It was a fun day but boy was I beat when I got home. Being out of the house Friday night, Saturday night and all day Sunday is more social time than I usually do in a month! I'm getting too old for all this running around and today still has plenty of running to do. I'm looking forward to staying home on Tues - and maybe Wed, Thurs and Friday too!
Happy stitching-
carol fun
