Block 5 - 'Fowl Play' is now available for you to download from the link in my sidebar (the one that says "Verandah Views - blocks 1 to 5) - click on the link and scroll down to find the pattern download for block 5. You'll need the free Adobe Reader and it will take a minute or two to open...
Remember? I said it was all about the chooks :-)
And here's our feathered girls - looking a bit scruffy at the moment. Named after my three sisters - (from left to right) Bevvy, Nisey and Shelly. So cute... but Shelly's the boss
Hey you up there, wanna see me lay an egg? Watch real close.... it's pretty tricky...
There ya go... fresh from the mobile two legged egg factory :-)
I hope you like 'Fowl Play'. Next month there'll be some flying lessons happening in the neighbourhood

Thanks Cheryl..I love this design:) We had chooks years ago too & I still miss the girls. Ours were named Red, Tickity Boo, No name.. poor girl we'd run out of ideas! & then there was Psycho & she was definately the boss!! Even the cat gave her a wide berth!

Thank you Cheryl, this was worth the wait. I was so glad to see baby chicks. My sneaky hen disappeared for a month and showed up 2 days ago with nine little babies. What a great surprise.

Thanks again for the gorgeous stitchery. The girls look so "matter of fact". I had chooks when growing up on the farm. Mum would only let us name two.Henny Penny and Cluckie. They do have their own personalities. Are they like your sisters??
