Funky Chicken by Becky L. Novosel, 2006. Now you ask, "What does this chicken have to do with a quilting blog?" It is an old painted cupboard door....I loved this artist's work and have bought several of her things at a craft boutique. I wish I could find her more old doors for her to paint. It is hanging on the glass door to my sewing room.....you see, this door is glass because the room is actually meant to be an office or den....but it is right off of my entry way, and you can see into my sewing room...which is not always tidy! I had my husband screw it into the wood door to cover up the top glass....yes, I know, he about had a fit too!!! I told him, if we ever move, we can fill in the screw holes with wood putty and paint.... I LOVE IT! It has been an inspiration for several patterns.
I love that Becky left the hinges on and painted over them.
This is another one, Folk Art Flowers. It was in my laundry room...but now resides in the newly painted guest room.
Don't you just love these butterfly hinges....I wish woodworkers still used them, they are so sweet.
See the bubble flowers? They are the shape of those bubble designs on the Funky Chicken.
This Folk Art Stars table topper also for Cotton Way.
This Star Burst Garden Quilt, it to for Cotton Way, which by the way does include the red border. Even though these are a few years old...I love them for fall and winter sewing!!

Oh what fabulous eye candy you've posted! I love those hinges too!
Sheri...I absolutely love those old doors and the inspiration that you get from them. I have a chicken pattern to applique and make for my daughter that is similar to that--so cute! I am like that I get my inspiration for many things in unexpected places! Have a wonderful weekend!
I love that chicken! And of course your patterns are lovely too! Enjoy your day! :0)
Love the inspirations and the patterns...when does your book come out...I definitely think I'm going to need it!
Love them all!
What a clever idea for the doors! Beautiful hinges and glass door knobs should still be used today!!!
Love your Cotton Way projects.
It is so nice to see what others create with unique things, like an old door. I've seen that before and have always thought it was a small wall hanging! She did a good job.
Ands your spring and summer pillows are so bright and happy!
Oh, we looked at houses in Marietta, the cute little town. We couldn't find one that actually had a yard. They were all steep drop offs into the woods. Too bad too, cause we liked the houses. And the town is so cute!
We moved to Rexburg in '91 and loved the small town feel. My sister and I walked everywhere and we have great memories there. Whenever I visit it is shocking how big it is now!
Like your style and know I'll love your book!
Wow they look so great!
Love the door, I have several old doors and windows that my husband tells me I need to get rid of! You have inspired me to think of something to do with mine!
Thanks

Sheri...as I always say... I wish I had your brain. Thanks for commenting on my blog. You are an inspiration as always!
OMG! It just became plain as day that we are so unique, each and every one can see the same exact thing and visualize totally different interpretations. I never even considered those "bubbles". I saw a chicken and three colorful little eggs, wih yolks! LOL! I will never look at that pattern the same way now...LOL! It'll forever be the egg flower pattern in my brain. hahaha! BTW< those are very popular patterns in my shoppe. I love all your patterns so I too am waiting patiently for the book. I can't wait to see it!
Great stuff to see. Love it all.
Oh..I love it all....thanks for showing...
Fantastic idea...quilting can go way beyond!
