NZquilter, that chicken toy is a cuty. My 3 yr old granddaughter walks around the yard carrying real live Rhode island red full sized chickens. She won't leave them alone. I am so afraid one will peck her eye out. Maybe she needs a toy chicken like you made. (really , I cant believe the chickens don't run away from her, but they let her pick them up! Crazy chickens! LOL.
Mandyrose, I love the fence!!!!!!

Okay, I'm naming my piggie "Sunburn" because she's more red than pink! Doing a project like this really makes one aware of the colors we gravitate toward, doesn't it? For instance, I did not have one piece of neutral fabric to use for the sky part, so I used a solid blue. I have every crazy bright color in the rainbow though!! Oh well, my quilt will be eye-searing when finished for sure LOL.
I have plenty of rick-rack because I'm also a garment sewer. Couldn't decide what shade of pink to use for her tail, so I wove two colors together and gave her a funky tail. I love it!
I'm really enjoying looking at everyone's piggies!!

Love that stuffed toy hen NZQuilter. My bee is named the Red Hens, I would love to make a few to take to members when they are sick or in the hospital. I may have to "wing it" and copy your idea. Thank you for posting, I'm hoping a chicken block is in our future also. It's so hard to wait till the first of the month.

Toverly, I used the McCall's pattern #6322. I found it years ago at a thrift store, before I was married. My dream was always to make homemade gifts for my future children so I collected a lot of toy patterns. It feels great to be making that dream come true.
Mandyrose, the fence is so creative! I love it.
I'm looking forward to our next block next Friday!
