Good morning! I have been crocheting this blanket for Chelsea's baby for months! It was time to finish it since we had a 4th of July surprise yesterday! I used this Pattern for the blanket
I got up this morning and finished the border and crocheted a chicken ..
I used I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby .. I just made circles for the chicken body and head.. ....crocheted eyes right onto the head .. also the beak and feet were crocheted right on.. I blanket stitched the whole chicken to the blanket and added a couple rows of single crochet for the border..
and here he is .. litlle Cash Andrew.. 8 pounds 7 ounces..born on the 4th of July Mom and baby are great!

I put the last stitches in this last night and finished it up a little while ago .. I love it so much!
Chelsea and I started this as a stitch a long Memorial Day of 2017.. I only stitched on it that day until this year when I decided it needed to be finished!
This is Chelsea's Liberty Lane .. I finished hers with blue ticking and mounted it on barn wood..
The floss colors I used were all Classic Colorworks and 2 dmc.. white and 3782( blue house roof with muddy puddle)
Licorice Red ( houses, doors, bunting, checkerboard on bottom).. blue corn( words, houses,bunting) .. muddy puddle ( roofs) Eve's Leaves and steamed broccoli ( all greenery and leaves) hickory sticks( tree trunks ..old money ( flower pots and windows of white house and middle of red house windows) Finley Gold( stars between bunting, center of flowers, stars next to words)
I stitched it on 28 count tea/coffee dyed Monaco ..
I mounted it on sticky board and then ripped strips of patriotic colored plaid homespun and strips of blue ticking.. I ruffled and hot glued them on..
I used Lady Dot Creates rick rac in vanilla for the bunting .. and cut stars from homespun that i used interfacing on for stiffness.. a couple ribbon flowers and covered buttons..and it's all on a piece of barnwood ..Love IT! ***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..**** This weeks You Tube video..

Happy Saturday!
This is Chelsea's version of Stars and Stripes from Little house Needleworks ..stitched on light grey tea/ coffee dyed 28 count monaco..
she left off the border and changed the word color to blue ..it is stitched in all DMC called for colors ..I mounted it on sticky board and used a decorative block I found on clearance for less than $2.00 ..I added gathered homespun and a bow at the top with a covered button ..
I stitched this design years ago and it is stitched on aida.. I love her changes and almost want to stitch it again!
