Black Tie Boogie Blog Hop

I'm happy to be participating in another fun blog hop! Thanks to Vickie and Madame Samm for all their work to organize this one.

So the theme is roosters, hens, chicks, or turkeys and I chose hens/chickens for mine. I've had this design in my brain for a long time, and was happy to have an occasion to bring it to life. It's another table runner that features hexagons as the main shape (like my Patriotic Sheep, Pumpkins on the Vine, and Flaky Snowmen runners).

A hexagon chicken? Yup, it's possible...

 
Her head and body are both hexagons.
 
And her head is tilted because she's asking the age-old question...
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
 
I don't have an answer for her, do you? In any case, her friends are pondering the question as well. Here they are in the finished 12" x 26" WoolFelt table runner, appropriately named "Which Came First?"
 
 
This pattern will be available in my Etsy and Craftsy shops soon. I hope you like my project!

For the Boys!

A big thanks to Amy and Madame Samm for bringing us another great blog hop!


First I wanted to show you another of my table runners, the latest to be published in Create & Decorate Magazine. Since it's with Snowmen, I think it's appropriate for this blog hop:


The pattern for the Snowmen Runner is available in my
Etsy and Craftsy shops.

Second, I designed and stitched these stocking ornaments specifically for this hop. They're inspired by the traditional menswear pattern of argyle. They look like argyle socks, but since they're ornaments I'm calling them "stockings."


They measure 6" tall (minus the cording) and 4" wide at the widest point.

And here's the free pattern for you all to enjoy and hopefully make! They're easy to construct and are a great way to use up WoolFelt scraps. Just click on the image below to download.
