Yesterday I quilted the pink top for my friend.
It’s amazing how well the quilting shows up the way the light was shining through the window, just casting a bit of a shadow across the quilt.
It was nice that I had visitors while quilting.
This is completely on the opposite side of the house from their coop and where they mostly hang out but I do see them over here occasionally. I threw some grain out to them so they hung out in this area for a while. Occasionally they would walk up to the door and look in to see what they could see, though after having been gone for a week, I’m still a stranger to them and they’re scared of me. Goofy chickens! The big rooster is flapping his wings, just proving to me that he’s top dog out there!
These chickens are so pretty but Vince says they’re way dumber than our other chickens. Not so sure about that but I know their days of running loose are about to end. While I was gone, Vince had to clean the chicken poop off the porch and he’s tired of stepping in it all over the yard so as soon as he gets their run secured, they’re going back to being inside a fence.
I guess that means no more visits from them while I’m sewing.

Funny how the chickens have to get used to you again -wonder how long their “memory” is?? The pink quilt turned out beautifully! Square spiral if I am not mistaken! What a lovely gift!

Beautiful quilt!

Love it, Judy and I think I need to replace the pinks I bought for this one. They are too mauve-y. Like the true pink so much better.

That turned out so pretty! I love that pant and I’ve used it once, with plans to use it on several more (if I ever get to quilt again lol). I’m sure your friend will love it and feel loved when wrapped in it.
Terri says
