From Prairie Schooler book 94. I stitched those a few years back and planned to make ornaments from these. That never happened so they sat in a box until I donated them to the fundraiser. They live with @MightyMitochondria now.

That was a awesome donation…everyone loves chickens, right?
Lovely job…to be enjoyed and not just sitting in a box…and for a great cause, too!
They look so great! Amazing vintage colours. What is the fabric, it looks like linen but also like a soft sort of Aida, cool!
I am so glad they live with @MightyMitochondria! Your stitching is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the love!

They are the prettiest little birds! 
The fabric is linen, it’s actually not that soft. I always like to stitch on linen that’s a bit stiff so it’s easy to keep the tension without using a frame or hoop.
I had actually been working on my ‘finished but not quite finished’ pile for a while so the fundraiser came at the right time. I love everything but I’ve just made too much to find a place for in my own home. These days most of what I make ends up in other homes.
Yay for donations!! 
And your stitching is perfect! I know you love chickens 
but I love them too!
Thanks for sharing!

Oh that is good to hear!
I will send you a pic of what I did with the MAQ, it’s still a WIP and I should finish it this year!!
They are really pretty, and sometimes things don’t go as we wish, but at least someone else will be able to enjoy them now
