    I finally found my charger, so I will post this afternoon both chickens received and also fabric I have a lot of. :lol: :lol:
    I was thinking that too .... I just don't really have a lot of wall space :( So if someone else can use them in their quilts, then I would rather see them used that way!! :) I will try and post some pics so you can see if they are blocks you already have or not. :)

    Cheers!

    Here are the pics, please please please don't be offended if any of these are yours!! I actually loved every single chicken I received, which is actually pretty rare for me in a swap!! :) (Plus if I didn't like them, I wouldn't be offering them to anyone else either ;) LOL) I just sadly couldn't fit them all in my top (which I got sewn together yesterday BTW) .... and I would love to see these beauties go to roost in a good home. :) Please just PM me if you have interest.

    All the extra chickies have found a happy home to roost … yay!!!.

    Cheers!
    Rachel

    You already got them sewed together? WOW you are fast.
    I can't find my design cloth to even put them up. I just have them spread out on the couch. ( put it away when company came and now I can't find it! Don't you hate that?)
    You had a PM.

    I worked all day to get it done, I was very excited about this swap!! :) Now I am planning on doing some embroidering on the top, then I will hand quilt it very simply with some larger embroidery stitches. :)

    Cheers!

    These are my extra blocks if anyone is interested. I will swap for other chickens that I don't have.

    Of course!! I'll even post periodic updates as I do some embroidering since I think it may take a while to finish that part, which means it will be a while before my quilt is finished. :) I am already having fun with embroidery though, I haven't done it much before, but so far so good!

    I swap you a fat quarter for a fat quarter or a chicken i don't have if you want some of this fabric. It is a real pretty blue! The picture isn't as colorful as I have bad lighting. I made my kitchen curtains with it!
