The Funky Chicken

Welcome to the Friday Face Off.  Today I am sharing a quilted piece that I started back in December of 2017.  Several days ago, I finished him and completely forgot to show him on my blog.  However, I think he is a great entry for this Friday.

He is all raw edge applique with various fabrics.  I decided to quilt him with black outlines like I do my usual faces. But in the black background it was just too tempting to use  vivid colored threads for the quilting. This is not my original design. I found this pattern for free online. I did change a few things, but it still has a strong resemblance to the pattern. 
Oh yes, if you look closely you can see that I signed my name with quilting. 

I am linking up with  DVArtist for the Friday FaceOff.
  Clicking the link will take you to her blog.  It is great fun
 to see how various people interpret the challenge.

Until Next Time,  
Stay Creative
