the chickens are free....

The mystery is almost a top. It lost its checkered sashing and it will get a plain border.

After I did this I worried and seconded guessed myself.

Did I tone it down too much?

Maybe I shouldn't have done that....

to late, it is done.

But!

(this is the part that makes my heart sing)

I did find a place to use the checkered sashing.

In 2008 I made 16 chickens.

The pattern had them sewn together, but I wanted something more.

I never knew what that was though.

So they sat in a drawer for a long time waiting.

I absolutely fell in love when I put them with the orphaned checkered sashing strips.

The chickens will finally be free!

I have 16 chickens that need to be squared up to 12 1/2 inches.

I'll use black for the cornerstones.

It is a match made in heaven.

This months Block Lotto blocks are pretty cool.

I made 6 of them.

School started back up Monday. We got out early because of snow.

Then, there was a late start on Tuesday morning and today it is brutally cold,

so there is no school.

And I am sewing while I have the chance!
