Breakfast Club

It’s been days since I sat @ my sewing machine, but yesterday I tackled a couple of little projects. 

Click to See the Wonky PartI have lots of charm squares  - some I’ll probably never use so a  few were sacrificed to test my coaster  making skills.   The design follows some of those I found on Sew MaMa Sew.  Course I can’t seem to find the post where the gal quilted hers into spiral squares like mine.  Hers were perfect — ummm mine  not so much.  I gotta find a more forgiving stitch if I make any more.  

And I made this flying clucker using the pattern and parts I bought from the Art Fabric Studio. 

Unfortunately another wonky result.  The beak is upside down.  he he

Very qute ....... I think the beak adds characture. Are you practicing? :)

More chickens :?) The clucker is adorable though! I could use a good pincushion, I might have to look into finding that pattern.

Yep - another chicken Janet..but at least it won't se on my kitchen cabinets. he he.

Thanks Amanda -- it does make me giggle. Those eyss -- it's like it's staring at me & saying quit poking me!

Lucy, how are the edges of your coasters finished? They look great! I did some charm coasters awhile back, but I just bound the edges:

I like yours better!

The clucker is wonderful!

Tks CJ -- The coaster was made from Charm Squares -- the edges were already cut like that. If I ever master this I'll bind the edges as I prefer a finished look too. I'll be by to look at your coasters soon..
