"The Chook House" quilt is finished! This quilt is for the back of our couch. I just can't seem to get the colours right in the photos. It is so much nicer in person.
Molly wanted to get in on the act!
This photo's taken inside. Don't know if it's any better really!
I was able to piece the left over bits for the backing. I added the fabric with the pumpkins as an extra. I bought this from Walmart when we went to America back in 2005. I just had to have it but never knew what to make with it. It just went in well for my chicken quilt.
My lovely friend, Leanne Kaufmann, quilted it beautifully for me. I asked her if she could quilt it to look like chicken wire. How great does it look! Just like you're looking through the fence!
I had a lovely win over at Vickie's blog (Vickie's Crafting). It was a surprise prize and look at what I won! A gorgeous Bronwyn Hayes stitchery kit. Australia Post were on the ball. Vickie lives in Humpty Doo (yes, it's a real place) in the Northern Territory. She posted it Tuesday and it was in my mail box on Thursday! Thank you so much, Vickie. I love doing stitcheries and this is one I haven't done before.
Well, I'm off to NOTYQ for a day of stitching and friendship.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
