Beautiful chucks, Wendy! Your quilts are always so wonderful!

We used to keep steers when I was in junior high (we moved a lot when I was a kid). I used to feed them grass by hand. It was really tough when the butcher came out!

Wow Annis that quilting is beautiful. The houses glow, you made good fabric choices

Please show me what you do.

Wendy, Thank you so much for the link to the Storybook Farm chickens. My order goes out tonight. I sure won't be able to make it as fast as you and Annis make quilts, but I will get there sooner or later --- as long as I can follow the chocolate trail.

I new you could do it Annis! That's lovely. I don't think that it could have looked better with custom quilting and the pattern you chose for the quilting looks perfect to me. How brilliant to be able to finish quilting a quilt so quickly.

Debbie, we have cows out in the pasture, but I wouldn't want one that close!

Lovely quilt, Wendy. There are no chickens on our farm.

Rita, you asked for it and here it is. I still need to sew the binding to the back. My DH is supposed to bring some thread back from town. No label yet either, my pigma pens and labels are at my city home where I will be going tomorrow to get back to working on bookkeeping. Since I'm my own boss I can take days off whenever I choose. I found an E2E leaf pattern called Stormy in my quilting program. While the machine was quilting I was multi-tasking, running up and down the stairs from one end of the house to the other. Some day I would like to learn free motion quilting, but for now I'm mostly a piecer and the quilting gets done the fastest way possible. I'm not trying to win any contests and I'm usually happy with the results. The quilts that need more custom quilting are still waiting to be done.

Terrie, understand totally. Maybe the first time for everything.

Judy, sorry about your neighbors feathered friends. Wonderful gesture on your part.

Wendy - I love your little chick quilt, it's fab!
I have never personally been introduced to a moo-cow by first name and certainly have never been in love with one, so besides the quilting comments, I have nothing else to say. (Except it sounds like a lot of other types of animal lovers)

Judy how sad for your neighbour and lovely idea of yours.

Terry, Debby looks pretty sharp! When my siblings and I were kids we would get so attached to some of the brood cows Daddy had because we would befriend them as calves. As I'm sure you know, they have their own little personalities. At some point he'd have to sell them and oh boy that was tough for us! But then we'd befriend the next season's calves and love them too.

Wendy your quilt is lovely and thoughtful too.

NICE chicks, Wendy. You are one go to quilter. Love the comment about your barn.

Wendy,
Your chicken quilt looks great. Which McKenna Ryan pattern is that?
My next door neighbor has 6 pet chickens that look like your quilt. She is a upset today because one of them has a broken leg. She came over just now and asked my husband to put it out of it's misery.
I would like to make her a quilt like yours.

Judy

That is so lovely, Wendy! those are some great-looking clucks!
