We clucked a lot these past few days...and I have no idea when and where it started
but my family happens to have fallen in love with HENS. Now it could have something
to do that we live in a farm community with gazillions of hens around. But all of a sudden
my family has become obsessed... HEN obsessed! WE always have a little sewing time
sew I asked the "girls" what they wanted to make...it is always small projects..
Well in unison..." HEN cuppa cozies"
Yeahhhhh right!... My job was to outline them and they would take
it from there...Well this was what they came up with....
I think one of them was not quite sure what a HEN looked like...lol
and they found some of my ostrich boas and cut some of those up....lol
EGADS....
I worked on Bella's quilt....completed blanket stitching all around
all the daisies..
I free handed no pattern used for this..just some swirly
daisies and vine and leaves in between the daisies...
Today I will sandwich it all and start hand quilting...
I thought I would add the buttons too in the centers to keep the
quilt from shifting? yes? lol
And I did manage to get some small projects done for our GHASTLIE blog hop
which takes place next MONDAY...yes ..oh my goodness I best get busy..lol
What on earth is this? lol
well of course I know lol
and this....?
yep know this too....
Forgot to add, we made this pillowcase
only had time for one...and one of the chics took
it with her lol
Come on back next Monday...
the Ghastlie blog hop will take place for 10 days
we have 54-55 bloggers who will be participating.
I KNOW , that is a lot of GHASTLIE ideas..
I am towards the end...the very end...lol
39 Your COMMENTS here, uplift me.:
The chickie cozies are precious! So glad you had some "hen" time, and enjoyed yourself! Love the pillowcase - that is so sweet, and your daisies quilt is just beautiful. Never a dull moment with you, Madame!!
I have never seen the purpose of a tea cozy. Now I have to have a hen! Too cute! What a great idea! Those chicks were thinking, must have eat their Wheaties. If you make a pattern, I'll be the first to purchase one.
bock bock! how wonderful! that is such a creative idea...you inspire me! my daughter is a pig collector and i am thinking she is in need of a pig cuppa cozy.
thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!
What fun -- you are going to need a vacation when this is all over! You ever find your way down in the lovely South, Alabama, in particular, you're welcome to catch your breath and gather your thoughts at our beautiful campground! Hugs! :)
The little hens are so cute! I love the fact that one has it's comb a little off kilter. (None of us are perfect, right?)
Dear Samm, the hens are delightful! Hope it was a great time had by all, and the roosters stayed away..lol Yes Yes Yes on the buttons! This will be the cream of the crop so to speak..the cherry on top of a beautiful quilt of little Bella. I love the colors, and can see the swirlies..such a great added extra. Hope you have a great week..take time to rest.. otherwise,the ghastlies will be visiting you in your sleep
Cool chicks by one of the coolest chicks I know!!!
Those are so cute! How clever! What wonderful ideas you come up with!
Love the hens and it is just wonderful that the creative mind is not your's alone.
Regarding the buttons, I think they would look wonderful but how old is the recipient? Is she old enough for buttons. I worry about those kinds of things.
The big advantage to being toward the end of the group of Ghastlies is that you have that much more time to be creative. tee, hee,
Wow it looks like you sure were busy! Everything looks great.Can't wait for the hop to start!
Love the hen cozy. I too have loved chickens. It all started back when I was a young child. My mom had some ceramic (rooster and hen) salt/pepper shakers. Through the years they were broken from many moves we had. But I always loved those chickens. So mom gave them to me a couple years ago. chips out, cracks all over, but I can't part with them. They sit on my stove as I write. I have since started collecting towels, timers, quilt patterns, and anything else I can afford to get to add to my kitchen chick collection. LOL Love them all, cute, comical or realistic looking. : ) not to mention the real thing. I love owning real chickens too. Fresh eggs are the best you ever tasted. : )
Oh my gosh are those hens ever adorable! Sweet!
Looking forward to visiting all the ghastly gals. I know there will be some fun show and tell!
xx, shell
Very chic!
Oh, it looks like a "Hen Party" to me!!! Such fun to quilt/craft with family!! Love the Hen cuppa cozies!! such personality!
cluck, cluck...
Darling hen! Love that pink check with the ghastlie material too! Can't wait to see what it is!
Love the hen! And of course, I love the quilt top! Looking forward to the HOP.
I've always been chicken crazy and that cuppa cozie is too cute. Puts a smile on my face.
Buttons would be darling on that quilt.
Thank you for taking the time to share!

I love that pillowcase! Too cute :)
LOVE the hen! Adorable!
Your white and pink quilt is going to be so pretty:) Yes, I am all for buttons and I am sure you will get the right balance :)
Love your hens, cute tails.
So cute,You do sometimes tire me out and make me feel I never accomplish anything!!BUT You do inspire me to quilt or create every day so that's a good thing.
Thank You, Faye
Those chickens are sooo adorable!!!!
Love the hens. What an imagination. You must create in your sleep! Wouldn't these be popular at the local summer "Poultry Fest". Now my mind is going-Christmas tree cosies, bunny rabbit cosies, Santa cosies, kitty cosies--ok, mind is gone on a cosie trip--
You did have a Hen party. Love the cozies, super cute!! and your pink quilt is just beautiful! Ghastlie fun, just around the corner!!
Oh my goodness that hen - you must share that pattern. Maybe not the cuppa cozie but the hen - she could be enlarged and cover my toaster. :) And I'm in love with that pink check fabric; I'm coveting. Coveting is bad; I must stop. Darn! Can't wait to see your Ghastlie imagination in full force. :) blessings, marlene
Oh Samm these are just the cutest!! Hmmm, I am really liking the Ghastlie Sleeve I see too, but is it a sleeve????
Huggs, Nancy
Love the hen cuppa cozie...now I need a barrel cactus one! Or maybe a quail.
I think buttons would be lovely on the quilt.
Fun, fun little chickadee cuppa cozies! Oh, oh, I want to know what that one Ghastly project is...the one with the orange in it!!!!
ADORABLE hens and I'm totally in love with Bella's quilt. The colors have just captured my heart big time. Beautiful, beautiful! Looking forward to seeing your Ghastlie projects. :)
