Funky Chickens -- and Groovy Chicks -- Stitch-a-Long, part 4

Hi everyone! Determined to post ON TIME this time. :) 

Last time I had actually stitched up all three of the Funky Chickens: 

So this time I decided to start in on the Groovy Chicks pattern, also by Satsuma Street. 

I love the colors and patterns on these, and decided to stitch them as designed -- on pale green, pink, and blue fabric. I started in on the pale green one and finished the stitching: 

The paisley patterns are fun, but more detailed to stitch and a little more complicated. Still, I like how they look and I feel like these birds will have more personality than their chicken pals. 

I'm now going to start working on the blue bird, and hope to be halfway done by our next check-in. 

Until then, please check out all the projects that my fellow stitchers are working on -- they're always super inspiring: Avis, Claire, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Megan, Deborah, Sharon, Daisy, Cathie, Linda, Mary Margaret, Cindy, and Helen.

Funky Chickens Stitch-a-Long, part 3

Hi everyone! Somehow I got my weeks messed up and forgot to post an update on time. Summer does that to me...

Last time I had gotten the stitching done on the rooster and chicken #1: 

I had two cross-country flights and got a LOT of stitching done. How much? Well, I stitched all three of the chickens: 

And then, well, I stitched them up: 

It was surprisingly challenging to stitch them together, but I'm still pleased by how they turned out. I stuffed them with a mix of fiberfill and, for weight, dried soybeans. They sit with a satisfying solidity, though I don't know what I'll ever do with them. 

Next up, I'm excited to say, is the Groovy Chicks pattern, also by Satsuma Street. I thought the chickens had personality, but these birds are verrrrry vibrant!

I hope by our next check in ... which I will actually do ON TIME ;) ... I'll have one of the birds stitched and possibly start on a second one. 

Until then, please check out all the projects that my fellow stitchers are working on -- they're always super inspiring: Avis, Claire, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Megan, Deborah, Sharon, Daisy, Cathie, Linda, Mary Margaret, Cindy, and Helen.
