The Chicken Quilt

Good Lord.  It has been so long since I have posted, that I almost forgot how!!  Evidently I have been dealing with my hip replacement longer than  I had planned.  I am five months in and they are saying it will take up to a year because of the posterior cut  hip replacement surgery.  I am getting better...slowly but better. Today, I exercised in the pool, played cards and took a nap.  Not bad for an old retired woman. 

The above quilt comes from a tutorial from:Slice of Pi, Chicken Quilt

The pieced backing is below... reproduction feedsack and eggs in a frying pan!! Thank you Sherry and Charmaine for the frying pan Foust donation!! The quilt was quilted in record time by the wonderful, Mary Jerz....She put her own love into it...

My darling North Carolina grands are below...soooo very grown up!! This grandma is proud!!

Back to the chickens:  My Portland granddaughter from my daughter:  Aoife, age 5.  She adores the chickens as you can see: Of course they are all cuddled in  the sheep quilt I had made her when she was

two...Also...as you can see, on the family room couch.

All six hens are laying now...OMG!!

The Portland family is cooking eggs daily... And, BTW, there is no crisis in Portland...It is a down to earth freedom loving city.....

And so it goes.  Fall has come to Charlotte with crisp temperatures and pretty leaves.  We are all so very lucky and grateful xo
