For some reason I thought it would be fun to sew up a couple of chicken blocks...because I didn't think they'd take too long...
Even cuter when they have their little feet —
This pattern is from Lori Holt's book, Farmgirl Vintage 2.
Back in April when I went to Scrub Stitching retreat, Sylvia made us some sweet (and handy) little magnetic needle keeps which I thought I'd have a play at making. Just a matter of finding a suitable magnet now.
This is what happened next - can you guess?.jpg)

I think the half roll of cellotape gives it away - we had children come out to visit.
Gandad had help to get the cows in for milking. You can just make out a small boy on his bike. George was extra helpful and important!

I like your chicken blocks, cute :-)
ReplyDeleteI like to see kids out helping on the farm - too often kids are sitting around with electronics these days and not outside breathing the air!
ReplyDeleteCute chicks….maybe make a longer beaked one, and voila, a kiwi….
ReplyDeleteLove your chicken blocks--sooo cute--and what an idea--flat magnetic needle holders!!!
