CHICK CHICK CHICK CHICK CHICKEN,
LAY A LITTLE EGG FOR ME.......
Another week has whizzed past, a cold one too here in South Wales. The wind has been very keen indeed so I'm afraid I've been doing lots of things indoors!
I've got two craft fairs lined up in March so have been knitting more of the little chickens - bok bok! They're a good size to hold a Cadbury's Creme Egg, so hopefully they'll sell well in the run up to Easter. The eggs are safe from me, bleurgh, definitely not my thing at all!
I cut and sewed more syringe driver bags from the second duvet cover:
I liked both fabrics equally so used them both for outers and inners plus a bit from stash fabric for some handles. I got fifteen bags from each duvet cover, woohoo!
I've also been commissioned to do another string quilt for a boy, tricky one really as what patterns are suitable now won't be in five years time when the teenage grots start. So I offered to do some patterned and some bright primary colours in the hope that it'll stand the test of time.
I've used that navy space fabric as the middle strip on each square to give it a sense of cohesiveness.
I was spoiled on Valentines Day:
I love the colours in this bouquet, my absolute favs! I did a quick little painted card for G:
Which he loved! He said the look on 'his' owl's face sums up our relationship, he's forever wondering what mad thing I'm going to do next, lol!!
Hope you've had a marvellous week, the days are getting lighter, Spring is creeping up slowly.....wonderful xx

the "boy" quilt looks fab, I am sure it will be treasured. Love the flowers, and G's card is great!! It has been nice to see some sun this week (shame I've been at work!) Hope it lasts to the weekend ..... happy WOYWW Helen #2
I adore your owls in the Valentines card! I left chocolates round the house for B to find. I guess B says the same of me😻. I remember telling him I’d bought a space rocket off eBay and he thought it might come on a low- loader 😹. (It was a charm of the Friendship 7 rocket). On the subject of space, that space-themed border on your quilt is brilliant. The colours throughout are beautiful, very harmonious. Your chickens are cute too, but I’m with you on chocolate eggs, yeuch!
Happy WOYWW

Loving the chickens Jan. They are so fun and quick to knit. I chuckled at your beautiful owly Valentine. I'd say he is a perfect little owl and he does have a quizzical expression.😀 I'm so impressed with the duvet fabric. It really will make those bags a lovely cheery way to brighten someone's day in hospital.y x x Jo 🌈
Love the strip quilt colours. Your flowers are gorgeous and your card is perfect.
Hugs,

Sorry, I cannot be with you re the eggs I love them.
Also love your Valentine card for G. So you - those owl faces are fabulous and I can see why it would be so well received.
Love the quilt you are on with at the moment, that navy fabric is fabulous as well as working so well.
Hope all is well
Hugs, Neet 12 xx
Great forward thinking with the quilt Jan, it may go out of favour but imagine the joy when he has his own son! Absolutely love the bok boks - I bet they'll sell really fast, and I bet now you have the pattern in your head that they're coming off your needles like lightning bolts! Am heavy with cold (blaming the need to breathe in and out on the aircraft) and trying to avoid outside because it's still very cold isn't it! Very cheered by your beautiful Valentine bouquet, just perfect.
Love your Valentine's card for G, Jan - perfection indeed with the expressions. The navy fabric does a great job bringing together the quilt. Settling down for a leisurely desk visit after a lovely lie in. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
What a gorgeous owl card, love it. The flowers are to die for too, much more my colours for flowers (I got a red/white bouquet) Super quilt, bags (how many???) and chicks and know what you mean about creme eggs these days, much prefer the speckled mini eggs. Hugs bj#6
Fabulous card, I love the owls expressions. It’s a wonder you had time with all the sewing! 15 bags from each Quilt - wow! As well as those cute chicks. Great work. Happy WOYWW. Angela #15
Dear Jan!
Your card for G is so cute! And the bouquet is adorable!
You did the right choice for the middle of the string quilt.
God bless you for the syringe driver bags.
But last not least: I felt in love with the chickens.
I don't konw these eggs...yummi.....
Wish you sunshine all the week. Today I have it too!

Your little chickens are so cute, love them and the Owls and super cute! The string quilt is great too but I can understand your thoughts about the style of fabrics but I shouldn't worry, he can see badges on it if he wants to. Wishing you a happy woyww. Hugs Angela x14x

I love your owl card! So sweet! And yes you were spoiled! Beautiful flowers! The bags are lovely, I'm sure they will be well used and appreciated. You are being over run by chickens! Cluck cluck! Have a wonderful creative week! Lindart #17
Hi! So sorry for the late visit. As usual you have been super productive and the results are lovely! Your observation about the quilt is spot on. I struggle with that everytime I create things for my grandkids!
I love your painted card. The colors and the texture are great! Have a fabulous week! I am sure your craft fairs will be a huge success!
