think Ruffles

Welcome to Ruffle day at More Stars in Comanche!

  

Samm announced the ruffle hop, and the first thing I thought of was how I could make ruffled rooster feathers. Pat of Life in the Scrapatch was thinking feathers too,  and emailed me with a ruffled feathers challenge ! I think she wins with her excellent  ruffled feather pillow.

Remember the Black Tie Boogie Hop that I had the pleasure to cheer ?

 Well, after it was over, some of the Black Tie Boogie fabric found it's way to my house !

 I decided it would be perfect to gussie up the dish towels I got from my Mom .

 Sew, I put some pretty stitches around the edges, (I referred to my Stitch Bible ),
 appliqued some roosters on them and added ruffles.

What do you do with those panels that come in the fat quarter packs ?
Make pretty ruffly rooster pillows !

Thank you to the hostess with the mostess  Amy, the star of Sew Incredibly Crazy

And to Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt  who loves to ruffle everything ! 

If you go visit her....you might see some ruffled unmentionables !

And please go visit the other ruffly ladies I'm sharing this day with !

I made a couple of quilts for this hop,  the first one is

 "Hole in the Chicken Wire"

I took it outside to show my rooster critic....Fonzie.

He inspected it very closely. 

Rooster on the left...

  

 Rooster in the middle....

 Rooster on the right !

Flapping his wings.... his way of clapping his approval !

Thearica of Pig Tales and Quilts and I are huge fans of Florine Johnson's Radical Roosters, so we  decided we would make similar quilts for this hop. Hers would be albino roosters on black fabric and mine would be black roosters on white. We used Florines patterns and incorporated the Hole in the Barn Door quilt pattern into it, but the design would be an individual choice . I collected white on black fabrics for several months. 

(Notice the chicken feet quilted on the borders,TOO CUTE!)

Each piece is raw edge appliqued. 

There's 28 pieces in this one called Rowdy !

 I think he looks like he's running for the hole in the chicken wire. 

Some chickens are escape artists and can squeeze through a very small hole !

This is the picture of Fonzie

I'm partial to this guy, so I made a fabric portrait of him !

"The Other Fonzie" also raw edge applique.

 I tried a new to me way to bind this one....rattail binding, I learned how by watching this video by Carol Ann Waugh. 

The Other Fonzie might have some admirers! 

 Have a great day and God bless you.
