Still Cutting Out Chickens

My plan was to clear/clean out

my sewing area

before starting the

Japanese quilt for my daughter.

But, now I'm getting sucked into

this chicken madness.

I think I will just cut the chickens all out

and then they will be

ready for me to work with

when ever I want.

That way I will get rid of the fabric clutter

and just have neat chicken clutter.

I have cut out stacks of chickens!

Most of them

have a comb and underlining

pinned to them.

But I haven't matched 

them all up yet.

Here are some more stacks

that need to be cut out.

In the back you can see

some velvet I found.

Velvet chickens?

And in one bag

I found several vests all cut out!

I guess I was trying

to use up fabric back then too.

I may make them up...

or not?

Well, back to cutting.

I want to get all this cleaning and clearing away finished

so I can start the quilt.

Getting Scraps Ready for Cutting

I've been ironing.

Here are some of the fabric scraps

that I have saved

for way, way too long.

I have had some of them

for over 20 years.

I decided today to clean out my sewing area

and get rid of all the old fabric.

and

I'm cutting the scraps

into chickens.

Chicken pot lid holders!

Presents for Christmas 2009

or should I make stuff to sell?

Hmmm... to soon to tell

But I am going to have lots of chickens!
