Of course I started a new project, at the moment what you can see is the beginning of a watermelon.
At this point I shared this image on IG, and a friend immediately asked if there would be a chicken on top. This friend has just been dealing with cancer, not for the first time and she raises and loves chicken! At that point I stopped sharing on IG, I knew who was going to receive this project.
The red of the watermelon was supposed to be a variegated thread, I am using what I have on hand, I don’t have a variegated red, so I combined all kinds of reds and pinks.
The project went pretty fast. This is the same designer of the fox and Fox that I made for my grandkids. I am glad I bought those two separately, since the other animals that were designed this year – were weird. A bat, the eagle – just not to my liking. Even the owl felt off to me, and I love owls. This pattern is from the previous year.
The chicken itself grows.
And grows.
I decided to frame this on a flat fold, at this point, adding some rick-rack.
Looking very good.

Along side my previous project. Another post coming on this one – I laced the basket up for framing.
