Stitchalong part 4

I have made four of my chicken squares. I am not sure they are all facing the right way but that is small fry compared to the overall look. I spent last night cutting and measuring the pieces to construct the bag.

 
I found the last little bit of my Provence Rose Cath Kidston fabric from my kitchen curtains. The cord dress and the ditsy flower print are salvaged from girls dresses and the gingham is some remnants from an old patchwork duvet cover I made years ago.

 
Actually, they were all the bits of fabric I rummaged out to make the girl's dinner mats. I have made two more this week so I have two to have out and two to wash. Shock, horror, but I did have to go out and BUY bias binding to finish these off which is why they are a later addition.

 
Sewing machine hour here I come, Loving all your stitching projects... Jo x

    I am really looking forward to seeing these gorgeous chooks all together on your bag Jo - you are so innovative girl and I admire you greatly for it! And these mats for your girls are so lovely and colourful - I need to make some mats for (Christmas) gifts - maybe soon, maybe not!

    Jo how lovely, you are so clever. I love the chickens, last night I was looking at some embriodery patterns as I really want to join the stitch along. The mats are gorgeous and your fabrics are right up my street, all my favourites. Some fab work here Jo, well done. Big hug
    Lots of love
