This is Esther the Easter Chicken...a fun applique project I've been playing around with for a while. The basket is paper pieced and those of you that know me know how much I avoid paper piecing. I kept putting it off and before you know it, Easter was past. In my defence I was a little busy before and during the Easter weekend with my little pal Skeeter who is no longer with us.I have yet to put borders on and haven't decided the colour...the pattern shows a nice green..kind of flowery. I am leaning towards a blue and then I thought a tan or brown tone...we shall see. Anyway, she will be a table runner for next Easter unless someone decides it would suit their table more...then I can make something else.
very cute!
ReplyDeleteI try to avoid paper piecing too!! ♥
I like Ester she will make someone a very pretty table runner.Trish
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. I would love to have one of these for Easter. Perhaps if I started now, I could get it done by Easter!! Where did you get the pattern?
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and this is so cute. I'm on a table runner kick. I have 3 to machine quilt whhich I'll probably do this week. I'm anxious to your show in September. It might be a great day trip for the Friday Girls group I belong to.
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo cute! Funny how we avoid what we believe to be a challenge and then when it's over we say "whew, wasn't so bad".... lovely job! I think a red border would be lovely!
