Christmas chickens…?

Filed Under A Merry Little Christmas to Appliqué, Appliqué | 

Happy December! Here’s a merry little Christmas story.

A couple years ago, Janet told me that my next project had to have chickens in it. Guess what my next book was… Christmas designs! I was scratching my head. Chickens… Christmas… Chickens… Christmas. And then it dawned on me… The Three French Hens!


Here’s my Christmas chicken, just for you, Janet! (You can tell it’s a French hen ’cause it’s speaking French, dontcha know.)

Here’s the very entertaining quilt that Janet made for A Merry Little Christmas to Appliqué. I call this “Santa Stops to Feed the Three French Hens.”

An even funnier part of the story is that while making the quilt, Janet forgot to reverse the pattern for Santa, so when she got the motifs all ready, Santa was running away from the Three French Hens. I can’t remember now whether she did Santa over or the chickens over, but eventually she got them all situated in friendly fashion.

Until next time,
Kay
