Friendship Stars  

 Black Turkey Red White ~ Hand Embroidered ~ Quilt Blocks

 
 
Apprx. 12 x 12 inches, each block.
 
 
 
I free-hand drew the hearts, and then hand-embroidered them.

 
No two are exactly alike.

 
I love doing hand-embroidery.

 
I used two strands of embroidery floss in this process.

Grass - Eating Chickens
 
 
Did you know that chickens love eating grass?

 
Two of my free - range hens paired-up for a Grass Hoot-Nanny today.
They forgot to notice that I was photographing them.

 
Not only do chickens scratch in the dirt for worms; but they enjoy the fresh greens and chlorophyll as well.

How To Stop His Snoring
 
I created this humorous quilt top, that could cause laughs, no matter how bad the day.

 
This is an Irish Chain quilt top with three borders.

The centers of the 9-patch blocks are black.

One of the borders is/are black.

"How To Stop His Snoring" is the secondary name of the fabric.
