So, what is the term for a bunch of chicks? According to the internet - it is a brood. I made these for Grand, 18 month old Vivian's Day Care class for a small Easter gift. Since, these go to little ones - I decided the little wings were not super important, so I left them off. The design is from Urban Threads. As you can see, they stitched out great and I was able to get all eight into my 8x12 hoop.

Thank you, Carolyn!! Took about 1 hours and 45 minutes to stitch out at medium speed - but, quite a bit long to turn, fill and whip stitch the openings!!

Laura your chicks look so cute. When I saw them in the NL they did not pleased me but your version is so sweet with your colors. I also like to make designs easier and quicker ;o)

To make friends with all the little girls in your neighborhood, plant chocolate mint near your front door. They'll come hang around to step on it and smell!

Thank you, Babsie!! I started out with a EM with a 4x4 hoop, and soon realized I need a machine with a much bigger hoop. It took me years to secure the machine I have now - but, I just love it!!

Penny, thanks. I left the wings off - I thought they would be easier to hold and make them easier to stitch.
