Stars , Stripes and Chickens - Oh my ! A Patriotic Freebie

Woo Hoo!  They are back! Oh, how I am so excited to share with you my newest stitch of Annie and the gang. So put on your apron and grab a bag of chicken feed and let's go out to the hen house and  check this stitch out!

  Now if you are new to my blog,  you may not be familiar with Annie, but she is a sweet gal who is raising 3 wild and woolly hens, and they are as busy as a moth in a mitten.  Annie is always working whether  tending to bees or  gathering pumpkins , blooms, or eggs . Sometimes she even has to tote her 3 gals , Edna, Dorothy Mae and Alma, around. Now of the 3 hens- Edna is the fiesty one and can be quite the character . Dorothy Mae is a bit more series. Alma is as sweet as a apple pie.  

What is the crew up to in this stitch? Celebrating the red, white and blue. Annie is marching with a flag while the gals are running a muck with stars and flags all around.   

This is a small  measuring 54 x 51 which on 14 count aida would be around 3 7/8" x 3 5/8" .  I finished mine on foam board  and placed it on the little wooden box that I bought at the Goodwill last year. 

          

Each season. I just change the stitch out.  Easy Peasy.

Many of you know , but I always like to leave this little disclaimer.  

I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding that I  have to put each page on separate pdf downloads because of the devices I use. I apologize for that.  And I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and stitching my little designs.

  8. All of your Annie charts are just adorable, Melisa, and this one is no exception. I got a chuckle out of reading your expression "as busy as a moth in a mitten!" I've never heard that, but love it--will definitely have to remember that one :) Hope you all have a wonderful weekend ♥
