I'm not sure I ever showed this little quilt here, except in the "current work" tab above. It is only 14" x 18" and really is more of a study than a real piece, but I liked how it was going and finished it up. It comes from a photo of a whole hillside with houses climbing up the hill.
Maybe someday I will make a larger piece based on the whole photo. I took this photo in Ecuador, especially for the blue house.
I have had this pinned up on my design wall for about a month and the other day I looked at it and it seemed unfinished and kind of forlorn. My first thought was that it needed a person in it, but the more I looked, the more I thought what it really needed was just
something alive—a chicken.
I don't know about you, but I think that silly chicken makes a difference. And she was fun to make.
Oh absolutely! She blunts that hard corner that drew your eye too.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that corner!
DeleteYes, thumbs up for Ms. Chicken! :D
ReplyDeleteThe chicken is perfect! You are an artistic genius.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that chicken!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! She adds a lot to the piece.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! She adds a lot to the piece.
ReplyDeleteA new version of "put a bird on it"! The chicken does add to the flavor of the piece and looks right at home. Wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteChickens always improve the picture. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt makes a huge difference and is an inspiring thought! I didn't realize how much better it was until the chicken was there, if that makes any sense. Thanks for sharing, it's a lovely little piece.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need to add some chickens...
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree! The chicken belongs!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I share the same love for chickens... and I just adore that chicken! She changed the piece completely (for the better)!
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the power of a chicken. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted to own this piece now, yay. I think we've found a good place for it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to own this piece now!
