"HENRIETTA"
Hello and happy Monday!!!
Welcome to week five of the
"CHICKEN SALAD"
Sew Along!
Join me here each week
when I will be doing a tutorial
for one of the 12 chicken blocks
for the quilt.
Of course because we are sewing
from all around the world
we all have different time zones...
But I will be posting each Monday
right here on my blog
and you can follow my tutorials
any time each week that
is convenient for you.
We are making the
Chicken Salad Quilt
64" x 80"
*I'm going to say this again because
I feel it's important:
Please sew at your own speed ...
whenever your time allows
so that you can enjoy
each step of this sew along.
Quilting should be fun and not stressful:)
The schedule in the front of the
sew along guide is simply the schedule
to let you know which block tutorial
that I am doing for that week.
If you are not able to do it that week
please remember that these tutorials
will remain on my blog forever:)
I am also using an additional
Chicken Salad Quilt Kit
to make a second quilt
out of my Cook Book fabric
using twelve 12" Farm Girl Blocks from my
Farm Girl Vintage Book
and my
Farm Girl Vintage 2 Book.
Again, that means I am using TWO kits
that are identical.
It makes me sew happy to find out
that so many of you are making
a second quilt along with me!
COOK BOOK KITCHEN QUILT
and show and tell mine as part of
each weekly blog post
each Monday here on my blog.
Last week I made my
FRESH PEARS
Farm Girl Block
Each quilt is made with my newest fabric
collection called COOK BOOK...
If you are looking for a fabric kit...
just do a quick google search for
"Chicken Salad Quilt Kit"
to find shops who still have some left.
We are also using the
Chicken Salad
Sew Simple Shapes
I have already posted the
post which details all of the supplies...
and all of the cutting and
all about the sew along and how it works.
I have also given the link there
for the free PDF Download
of the Sew Along Guide
to read that post.
As per the sew along guide
cutting instructions
you should have everything for your
HENRIETTA Block
all cut and ready to go!
If you missed week one and the
first introduction tutorial
I have posted that for the
Hattie Block
on my YouTube channel.
to visit my channel and watch the
tutorial and I hope that you love it!

Week Two we made
PERCY
if you need to view week two:)
Week three we made
PEARL
for week three:)
CORNELIUS
for week four
Okay!
Let's get started making
HENRIETTA
all cut and ready to go!
I have also laid out the
squares and rectangles for the border
so that you can tell for sure
which prints they are:)
Here is a list of the
Chicken Salad
Sew Simple Shapes
needed for the
HENRIETTA Block:
1 - M-3
1 - M-10
2 - M-20 (1 reversed)
1 - M-32
1 - M-35
4 - M36
You will also need to cut
the background 13 1/2" x 13 1/2"
and your straight bias strips
for the beak 5/8" wide
as it says in the guide:)
Remember to trace one wing
in reverse for this block:)
After sewing it's time to clip all of the
cleavage and inner curves in the
appliqués for the chicken before
turning and shaping.
The nest and the eggs need
NO clipping because they are
outer curves and will be fine!
ready to get pin-basted:)
1.Use your 12 1/2" Trim-It Ruler
when laying out your block so that
it does not "grow" too large
and stays within the 12" square size.
2. When using the Sue Glue you only
need a small dot about 1/4"
in from the edge of applique.
"A dot is a lot"
3. Don't stress too much over
making the chicken feet.
They are just feet and will not
look the same or match each other.
They will not be perfect
and that's good because they
are not supposed to be.
4. Have fun building your chicken!
I made Henrietta's beak by
cutting 2 pieces about 1 1/2" long and
pressing under on both ends like this.
Then I glued them closed first...
Henrietta and her four eggs are
all ready for applique:)
Okay!
Now it's time to reveal which
of my 12" Farm Girl Blocks
that I chose to make this week
for my Cook Book Kitchen Quilt.
I chose to make
CANNING SEASON
You can find the pattern on page 17
of my Farm Girl Vintage Book.
It's all cut...and ready to sew:)
Fun and Done!!
I love all five together and
they will be perfect for my
COOK BOOK KITCHEN QUILT
Have fun each week
making your kitchen block!
Have fun during week five
of the Chicken Salad Sew Along
and enjoy playing with
the Cook Book fabric:)
I'll be right back here on my blog
next Monday for week six
and the tutorial for
EDNA
and the next 12" Farm Girl Block
from my Farm Girl Vintage Books!

***********************************************
This weeks recipe is one that
I've shared before on my blog
and it's been a huge family favorite...
first growing up in my Mom's kitchen
and now in my own kitchen
because my kids love it too:)
Hawaiian Haystacks
are a perfect meal for a large crowd
and served buffet style so that each
person can make their own haystack
with their favorite ingredients.
It's also a great make ahead meal
and a perfect way to use up
leftover chicken:)
HAWAIIAN HAYSTACKS
Make enough cooked rice for about
1 cup rice (haystack) per person
Toppings:
Chow Mein Noodles
Slivered Almonds
Coconut Flakes
Mandarin Oranges
Pineapple Tidbits
Sliced Black Olives
Diced Tomatoes
Chopped Celery
Chopped Red Peppers
Sliced Green Onions
Grated Cheddar Cheese
Each person adds desired toppings
onto their haystack and then
add the sauce over all.
Add freshly ground pepper
and a little salt if desired.
Sauce:
(double or triple as needed for large crowd)
2 cans Cream of Chicken soup
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 - 8 oz. Chive and Onion Cream Cheese
2 -3 cups cooked chicken diced
Combine sauce ingredients in a pan
and heat on stovetop until hot.
Simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Keep warm and ladle over
top of haystacks.
Enjoy!
I can't believe it is week 5 already! I am a little bit behind... All the blocks look so pretty on your design wall :) xx
