"HANK"
Hello again and happy Monday!!!
Welcome to week Ten 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
MIXING it UP!
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
HANK 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!

Okay!
Let's get started making
HANK!
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
HANK Block:
1 - M-3
1 - M-8
1 - M-12 (reversed)
1 - M-13 (reversed)
1 - M-14 (reversed)
1 - M-25 (reversed)
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:)
*Take Note*
Remember to trace these four shapes
in reverse for this block:)
After sewing it's time to clip all of the
cleavage and inner curves in the
appliqués for Hank before
turning and shaping.
and ready for pin basting:)
*The usual things to remember:*
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!
HANK is looking very dapper
and he is 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
Mama's Apron
You can find the pattern on page 86
of my Farm Girl Vintage 2 Book.
It's all cut...
labeled with my
Sew Handy Stickers
and ready to sew:)
Sew cute!!
Have fun each week
making your kitchen block!
I hope you enjoy week ten
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 eleven
and the tutorial for
MYRTLE
and the next 12" Farm Girl Block
from my Farm Girl Vintage Books!
