CHICKEN LOVE

I took some time out this week to start a new project.  I decided to make a table runner for my youngest daughter for Mothers' Day.  I did some exploring on the internet and came up with a couple appliqué patterns.
I pulled out some of my 1930's fabric and came up with this first block for the runner.  I love this new fusing mat.  I can completely fuse all the pieces together before I set them unto the fabric back.
I decided I needed two of these roosters.  Aren't they cute.  
What's a rooster with out a hen.
Or two.
And here we are.  Still have to put the runner together and quilt it.  
And here she is with that silly rooster.  Have to admit he is a handsome guy.  He keeps his five hens happy laying eggs.  Looks like he has my daughter under his spell too.
