All in the eye of the beholder.

 I made a flower to applique to a quilt.


 I liked it so much that I made another one.


 Then somebody (in fact, several somebodies) told me they look like chickens.


Chickens?  I thought I was the chicken crazy one.  They are FLOWERS people.  

They are most certainly NOT chickens.

    They are hilarious. Remember the chickens sitting on the beer cans...?? You know my applique basket quilt with the flower sprigs around the border - was asked why I was appliqueing Piglet around the edge... Piglet! Of all things. Will put a picture on my blog.

    before I even started reading I thought Chickens!
    But now they have stems and leaves they look like flowers. You with have to call it chicken flowers, or similar when you name it. Or chickens in the garden and make everyone ask where the chickens are. ;-)
