As you know, Quilt Sue and I struck up a barter…she would machine quilt my Sticks and Stones Quilt and I would make her a wool penny rug. Things like this happen all the time in Blogland!! Got to love it!!
When I asked Quilt Sue (Quilt Times) what she wanted on her mat, she said that she loved hens and roosters… well Quilt Sue received her penny rug yesterday so it’s time for the big reveal!
Sue wanted hens…well hens is what Sue got…complete with eggs!
When we went to China Beach on the West Coast of the Island I found these little speckled egg shaped rocks down on the beach…so of course I brought some home…
I think they look so sweet sitting amongst the hens…
~ Yup the Flying Geese!!
Remember these…
And this ruler by Quilt in A Day~ LOVE it!! Well I received a comment from Carin and she said this ruler comes in 4 sizes to make a total of 8 different size Flying Geese!! Yahooo!!
I was going to give you this lovely little demo but I can’t even put the ruler right side up…but you get the idea!! Lay it on top and line it up to the geese and trim!!
Connecting Threads has a video to help you see how to use it…why re-invent the wheel specially when the tire is on backwards! :o)…so enjoy!!

Now you can go visit Quilt Sue!!
Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting and say HI to Quilt Sue for me!!~P
PS~ Did you notice that I NOW know how to change the colour of the letters? I am sew high tech…;o)

OMG, what a wonderful penny rug. Paulette, you just amaze me.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Your friend should be doing the happy dance!
I got some wool jackets, hubby bought them on a trip. I posted a pix on my poor little neglected blog guesswhosknitting.typepad.com
check them out. now to deconstruct and felt.
I love it. I loved the whole parcel, the rug, the eggs the chickens laid just for me, the chocolate, the lovely scissor fob and the quilt that Paulette made and I'm going to quilt for her. I hope I can make her do as much of a happy dance when she gets it back, as I did when I saw my rug. Blogland is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOMG the rug is just great! Now I must go look for the pattern and start one for myself.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post today :)
That rug is adorable - I love it, Paulette.
ReplyDeleteI adore the chicken penny rug! I'm sure she loves it even more because she owns it now!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great penny rug (egg rug?) You've taken to this wool thing like a duck to water. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI saw the penny rug on Sue's blog yesterday, and it is beautiful. The chickens and sunflower are so pretty. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteThat little mat is fabulous Paulette and you are both winners from this exchange. I love the little yolks scattered around the edge.
ReplyDeleteThat penny rug is FABULOUS! You did a beautiful job on it. Love the rocks you found too - they go well!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a colorful character *snort*
Great job, Paulette. I made the same rug for my friend Julie in Australia for Christmas except mine was done in wool-on-cotton. She's chook mad too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a computer techie you're becoming! You'll have to give us lessons pretty soon!
Awww....you make me miss my chickens and fresh eggs! That wool penny piece is adorable.
