Hens and Roosters!

Well all the girls and boys (seems some of the young hens are actually roosters) are quilted.  The border is on and all that is left is my favorite part (haha) the binding, sleeve and label.  There is a lot of quilting on this one but it was worth it for the results. 

At the Feather Salon

 "Oh Dear!  I hope my feathers look good.  Oh my oh my........"

                                                 "Oh Yes Deary.... you look Marvelous!!!"                                                                                         

Under The Needle

Working on the quilting.  This will take a while me thinks.  Cold windy day here today so perfect to stay in doors working on what you love to do.

And Then There Were Three

I now have three of the chickens finished.   The one looks horrid with the foreground missing but trust me it is coming and will fix the amputation look she has now.  Still need a few more tweaks on her too but all in all she is looking like I want her too.

Beautiful sunny day so I have to go out for a walk now and then there is the Green Bay Packer Game.  Hopefully we will not be robbed of a win now that the professional referees are back!

Migration & Chicken

It has been a busy four days.  We finished painting our front porch including the ceiling.  I was shocked that it took as long as it did seeing that our house has vinyl siding but the trim on the porch, steps, railings and arches are all wood and it was a lot of work!  We went through 2 gallons of paint so that sort of tells you how much surface there was to paint.  I am so glad it is finished and hopefully the paint will hold up for many years because I do not want to do that again for a long time.

We also went to the Sheboygan County Kennel Club show.  We took our dogs and had a lot of fun watching all the different breeds.  I have always loved the PBGV (Petite Brussels Griffon Vendeen).  In person they are even cuter than I ever thought.  We were able to talk to a breeder and pet his three dogs one was only 6 mo. old.

 

While we were painting Canadian Geese have been migrating and flying low over our house.  It was amazing to watch these huge flocks of geese passing by.  I had to take a few minutes and run down to the river, where I knew they would be gathering, to take a few photos.  

Of course that put my chicken quilt on hold for a few days.  I was able to work on one chicken today but could not get her legs on before needing to make dinner.  So here she is legless.  Poor thing.   

This does not look like much right now, but it is just in the beginning stages.  There is so much more to do yet.  

This weekend is my Quilt Guild's Quilt Show in Sheboygan.  I have entered two quilts my Frog and my Rooster.  I will deliver them on Friday morning.  The show is only one day so if you are in the area Saturday, stop by and see some beautiful quilts.
