The local fall fair is taking place this weekend.  For years I've been entering quilts into the "homecrafts" competition.  Every year I rush around at the last minute to organize my submissions and complain that I'm never going to do it again, until next year comes around and I do it all over again.  There are fewer and fewer entries into fall fairs so I have to do my part to keep the local fall fairs alive.  This year, the theme of the fair was CHICKENS.    Here is my contribution - "Chicken A-La-Carte".  The background sky is a hand-dyed fabric and the rest is mostly batiks using fusible raw-edge applique and machine quilted.   In case you want to make it, the pattern is from Bigfork Bay Cotton Company, artwork by Debi Hubbs.
