My new Chicken Quilt

We just started keeping Chickens!  My how fun they are.  They're a hoot to just watch, especially when I feed them.  Each one has his or her own personality and so I decided to represent them in a quilt.  Here are two of them I did.  And of course since I love embellishment I had to add sequins and beads for her necklace and a monocle for him made from a large sequin, with a hole punched into it and then made his chain from metallic thread hand embroidered in a chain stitch.  I fused the pieces on first, then  used the button hole stitch to go around each piece (of course you could use machine top stitching instead).  I also have dressed my chickens in other outfits too, which I'll show you in my next blog post.  I am trying to decide how to package the patterns.  With so many different chickens, it gets bulky for patterns - maybe a book.  Or maybe I'll do these two as a separate pattern.  I'm always interested in input - so if you have any ideas let me know.  Oh so some more about our chickens: we have 4 hens in our big chicken coop (which is a chicken wire covered horse stable) so they love it - plenty of room to roam.  We have two bantam hens and a rooster in a smaller coop next door to our house.  We get between 3 - 5 eggs a day and pretty soon it is almost overwhelming.  I'm always looking for new ways to use eggs!  Lately I've been making crepes for breakfast - and filling them with Fage Greek Yogurt sweetened with Sugar free Butterscotch flavoring.  Yum!
