May Britt gave me the fabric for the Two Brown Chickens stitchery pattern by Leanne Beasley already marked, and she also included the embroidery floss. It was quick and really fun to stitch! I decided to make it into a cushion rather than a wall hanging - because a couple of my old cushions are kind of worn out *lol* I framed it with a 1,5" strip of a dark red fabric that Elin got me for a fabric swap a little while back - and look, it has tiny chicken tracks all over it:
Thank you so much ladies!
Sincerely, Anne Ida

Oh, and thank you so much for helping to spread the word about the Quilts Through the Pages blog ring, I do appreciate that! I sure hope we get some more fellow Elm Creek Quilts quilters so we can drool over their creations! :)
That pillow is so great and the fabric is perfect for it.

Great idea, & lovely cushion!
i just adore that Ann!!! You have done a beautiful job...as usual! Tracey
Dette er berre nydeleg. Så kos at stoffet passa, då!
Dersom du tok ut Beas mønster for juni, kunne du vere snill å sende ein kopi til meg? Eg blei for sein.
Oh how beautiful. I wish my embroidering looked that great. I am still new to it. I am slowly working on a pillow case.
I love chicken designs. It was a good idea to turn it into a pillow. And nice that your friend gave you the design already to stitch.
I just found your blog through Google Reader, and I must say that I love your quilts! Especially your feathered star blocks.
I'm just a beginner quilter. Could you recommend a pattern/book for the feathered star?
I want to make a tablerunner for the winter and it would make wonderful snowflakes!
