This wallhanging depicts a garden dinner party where Bantam hens and very colorful cocks are probably gossiping about another hen who could not attend! I have recently come to appreciate the beauty of fowls, especially noting their eyes and the many layers of smoothly moving feathers. When I retired, I began looking for a project that would help fill my hours --- and this one certainly did. I learned so much about needle turn applique as I completed a piece, only to redo it later, or found shortcuts, or experimented with a different technique. The machine quilting evolved as well!
