Chicken Potholder/Mini Quilt and Country Quilting Ideas

Chicken Potholder

Added a little sleeve to Potholder so it could double as a Mini Quilt


Chicken Mini Quilt and Table Runner ready to pack up to send to my friend


I love all these chicken things and have this chicken panel I bought a long time ago.  I'm enjoying these country colors too

Here's the sunflower block I made yesterday.  You can see some block ideas I printed out when deciding how I wanted it to look.

I want to include some kind of rabbit quilty things too.  I made a design so will see how that turns out.  Be back soon with some more Country quilting.

Chicken blocks quilted
All Quilted, Ready to bind.  Now what binding??  The questions never end, right?
And Finally all bound in black stripes!



I'm having fun making chicken blocks

I found this super cute tutorial for this hen block at Sew Inspired


 I wanted to make something with hens for my friend and she said she'd like a table runner. 



Here are 2 of her four chickens and she got the Henitentiary sign to put on their pen.

The four chickens are named Annie, Eva, Piety, and Hallie after some grandmas in the family

She got these unique egg cartons to use for gifts for the eggs


I may do a 9 patch for myself too.  I did their cones 3D
