Loranne’s Hen House Quilt

Happy Monday!!
I actually like Monday’s, how about you? I have such a fun quilt to share with you today!

This is another quilt made by Loranne. The pattern is called Hen House by Claire Turpin design, and can by found at www.claireturpindesign.com

I used a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads, and Winline’s 8020 cotton poly blend batting.

Loranne wanted something custom, so I thought my freehand overlapping circle design would be a fun texture! It’s one of my favorite designs to quilt.

To offset all the curves in the background and give the chickens their own textures, I quilted lines in a variety of different patterns and angles. Then some feathers in the feathers. Leaving the eyes, beaks, and feet unquilted. Sometimes every little piece doesn’t need to be quilted. I used my favorite 8” Edge ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple to quilt all the lines.

Same with the houses and flowers.

Okay…how cute is this fox! The fur turned out soooo fun!

I quilted a wavy line in the mini rectangle border, ribbon candy in the yellow border, and my feathered swirl in the outer piano keys border.

Thanks for coming on by!! It fun to add texture to quilts and share the details here. Happy quilting!!
