Hubby gets to go see daughter, her hubby and the grands next week in Washington, but since I used up all my vacation time recuperating from knee replacement, I have to stay home and work. So instead, I'll be there in spirit and made a surprise for my baby girl. She loves chickens now. Of course she hated them when she went to school where the sports team was the gamecocks and where there were a dozen chickens in every store. But now .... she likes them. So I made her a few. I found the fabric last year on my Quilt Across Texas shop hop and it just screamed her name. I finally figured out what to do with the fabric. The original plan was the table runner. I took pictures of the quilting on the front and back even though you can't see it very good. It's a real cool pattern.
The leftovers from the table runner became a table topper. Same quilting, but different backing so I took pictures of the quilting on front and back again. The back of this one shows the quilting the best.
But the wallhanging is my favorite. I actually have enough fabric to make two but ran out of time and hubby said she doesn't have enough wall space for two. We'll see if she agrees, I could always send it later.
Was tons of fun but so glad to be done. And I was able to finish in time for hubby to take with him, so no shipping costs. Life is good.
