This holiday, I again signed up for the Year End Secret Swap-a-ganza gift exchange for my BAMQG. Unlike other deadlines, I created my little quilty work of art THREE DAYS in advance!<\/p>\n

The request for a potholder for a teapot handle was pretty specific. There was only one problem. I didn\u2019t know what that would look like! I searched the web for some clue as to what I needed to make, to no avail. Then it hit me, why not make a chicken?<\/p>\n

There’s enough fabric left to make one to roost on my own teapot. Let’s see if I have time to hunt up a flock!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
