"PRUDENCE"
Hello again and happy Monday!!!
Welcome to week nine 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 each time 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:)
And just as a reminder...
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
CORN and Tomatoes 2
Farm Girl Block
Both quilts are 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
PRUDENCE 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!

for week three:)
CORNELIUS
for week four
HENRIETTA

Week Six we made

for that tutorial
Last week we made
BEATRICE
for that tutorial
Last week we made

for that blog post
Okay!
Let's get started making
PRUDENCE!
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
PRUDENCE Block:
1 - M-1
1 - M-2
2 - M-16
2 - M-23
2 - M-24
1 - M-27
You will also need to cut
the background 13 1/2" x 13 1/2"
and your straight bias strips
for the beaks and feet 5/8" wide
as it says in the guide:)
and ready for pin basting:)
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!
PRUDENCE and her baby chicks are
both 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
Mixing it Up!
You can find the pattern on page 96
of my Farm Girl Vintage 2 Book.
It's all cut...
labeled with my
Sew Handy Stickers
and ready to sew:)
Easy Peasy!!
Have fun each week
making your kitchen block!
I hope you enjoy week nine
of the Chicken Salad Sew Along
and enjoy playing with
the Cook Book fabric:)
Thanks for joining me and
I'll be right back here on my blog
next Monday for week eight
and the tutorial for
HANK
and the next 12" Farm Girl Block
from my Farm Girl Vintage Books!

***********************************************
The recipe for this week is one that
we usually make in the summertime and often while we are out camping in our trailer.
When we are grilling steak or burgers etc
over the weekend, we will often
grill 2-3 chicken breasts and save them
in the fridge for the next nights meal
which would be Chicken Taco Salad.
It's a quick and easy salad to make especially if the chicken is already prepared.
Sometimes we make this salad with
ground beef instead of chicken.
CHICKEN TACO SALAD
2-3 Chicken Breasts
*or 1 lb ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix
2 cups cheddar cheese - grated
1 head iceberg lettuce - chopped
tomatoes - diced
avocado - diced
1 small red onion - diced
1 can sweet corn - drained
1 can kidney beans - rinsed and drained
Thousand Island Dressing
Salt and Pepper
Corn Chips - crushed
(we like Fritos on our salad)
Grill chicken using olive oil and
taco seasoning as a rub.
Dice when cooled.
If you are using ground beef,
brown with taco seasoning mix and cool.
Toss chicken or beef and
all ingredients together.
Add the dressing, salt and pepper last,
both according to taste.
Sprinkle corn chips on top
of each individual serving.
Enjoy!
Lori, I am having sew much fun!!! I'm finishing Ms. Prudence today! How do you press your borders around the blocks and the outside border?? Open or to one side? Thanks for the great tutorials!!! So excited to finish (is that cheating)? Terri
