     Good day, everyone! I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Staff Writer for this site.

     You will notice some remarkable changes over the next few days that I am sure you will love.

     Some of the modifications and enhancements include:

  • Current trends and news regarding quilting,
  • New patterns and projects uniquely designed for users of this site,
  • Tutorials, FAQs, Articles, etc. that are geared toward quilting,
  • Helpful information to improve your skills as a quilter AND designer, no matter what level of expertise you are,
  • And much more!

     Feel free to share ideas and/or suggestions, or even contact me privately, as to what you would like to see on this site also… and please, excuse the virutal dust as I reorganize the site and make it more navigational for you.

     I am looking forward to providing you with enough eye-candy to make your head spin, your sewing machines running at full speed and keep you coming back for more!

Chicken Quilt

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Is there anything a devoted quilter won’t use for inspiration? Now I love my chickens- as much as one can love a fluffy bunch of feathers, but I never thought of making a chicken quilt. Silly me
JD , a fellow quilter and bloger has been busy designing patchwork featuring hens. She got quite a lot of them already designed on her blog- see her site below http://jdebreuilsartandquilts.blogspot.com/

I’m not so sure I want to make one though- having 19 of the live birds sort of makes you not want to deal with them in a coverlet.
