The Objects of Design: Bits and pieces

Bits and pieces

During a moment of peace and quiet, I quickly layered the eagle. For the backing and binding, I'm using some star fabric that I used in the eagle's wing.

And I have the top three rows of chickens assembled.

Along the way, I am making spools. A lot of these spools are made from chicken feathers, that is, from the same fabric as chicken wings and bodies.

To see more piece-making progress, visit Sew Stitch Snap SHARE at kokaquilts.

And here is an illustration of the phrase "thick as thieves."

Raewyn said...: I love the progress you're making on your chickens and particularly the way they change direction like that. Truly scrappy, making more scrap blocks from your scrap blocks! Very cute and comfortable looking kitty-cats.; March 9, 2018 at 12:30 PM
