Hen House

Published on by bramangirlsquilt

Remember when you used to go to quilt shows? I’m not sure which show (although I think it was AQS in Grand Rapids, Michigan) I bought this pattern: Hen House by claire turpin. The kit included all this beautiful Kaffe Fassett fabric and uses Moda Grunge as background.

This quilt makes me smile.
I started with the fox. I like raw edge appliqué and use Steam-A-Seam 2 fusible web.

On to the chickens.

What a difference the eyes make to each bird’s personality. I used a blanket stitch around each piece of fabric.
As you can see, this is a messy job.

There’s that pesky fox again. I used my featherweight to sew the quilt blocks together.

Not the best lighting, but top completed.

Finally on to very simple free motion quilting.
