Little Chicken Pincushions

Every year I make something to give to the ladies that help me with the library for the West Michigan Quilt guild.  So this year I found this pattern for these great little chicken pincushions!  Its from the book Home to Roost by Terri Degenkolb.

I had so much fun making them that I ended up with a flock 16!  More than enough for my helpers and a few to give out to friends.

I am always a nervous wreck, getting up and speaking in front of so many people. Our guild meetings fill the church we use, about 200 or so attend each meeting.  I make myself get up there and speak at least once a year and I think it is very important to take a moment and say thanks for the help I get with the library.
