It was made for me by a very dear quilting friend as a Thank You gift. She gave it to me at our guild meeting last month, and I must say I was (and am still) floored! It's almost 12" tall and weighs almost 10 pounds, and is incredibly beautiful.

I'm thoroughly humbled that Shirley would go through so much effort for me. She's also a very talented longarm quilter and you can see her work at

This is beautiful! I love the embroidery over the crazy patches & the little feet make me laugh!
That is one great chicken! I have one similiar but not nearly as cool as that one!
Your friend did a great job!
