The Laughing Hens

The Laughing Hens One-of-a-kind designs from quality goods hand made in Yorktown, Texas -- check us out on Etsy.com -- The Laughing Hens is there for you to buy from!!!!

Over the past 30 years, I have been gathering fashion fabrics, quilting fabrics, yarn, embroidery designs and floss, waiting for retirement. It's here! It's time to do something with it! Connie, Mari, Rosie, and I will be creating all sorts of things. Most items will be under $25. We will add things on a weekly basis and will entertain requests. We should be in our new building soon and will announce hours shortly. Thank you!

Had my knee replacement surgery. Going home today. Things are great. Had a quilt Connie (Imes Sewing) gave me for my birthday on the bed. I always get cold in hospitals.

I am selling quilt kits I have obtained over the years on etsy and ebay. These kits are BOMC and complete kits from Keepsake Quilting and others. West of Baltimore is available as a complete kit (including backing) on eBay under The Laughing Hens. Maggie Walker's Rosevile complete kit just sold on etsy under The Laughing Hens. I will be offering more Maggie Walker, Ryan McKenna, P3, and others soon. In most instances, these kits also include the original fabrics and the backing for which these quilts were designed and are no longer available. They are vintage and sure to please.

Over the years, I have collected several quilts kits. I have most (if notl all) of Maggie Walker's quilt kits that have her original fabric designs. Also, a few McKenna Ryan kits, a West of Baltimore Quilt kit including backing, a laser-cut P3 Baltimore Album quilt, and others. The patterns and fabrics are pristine, save one block of the P3 Baltimore Album.

I also have quilt pattern sets without fabric.

I will post when and where I will put them up.

Gosh!

Here are the parts of the Planets pullover that I have knitted in cotton yarn in honor of the new telescope. It needs blocking, sewn together, and a neckline ribbing added. I made it really colorful, because why not?

Connie will be in Falls City next Saturday at their Fall Market Days. Be sure to see her. She tells me she has created almost 200 quilts so far this year and that doesn't count placemats, table runners, Christmas tree skirts and so on. Follow The Laughing Hens and Imes Sewing to see what we are up to. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...

FYI - this is some of the vintage guitar parts my husband, Ed, collected over his years as a musician. I will share them with you as we pit them up on etsy and, later, ebay.

Our etsy shop is offering my husband Ed's vintage guitar parts. He has amassed a unique collection over the years as a musician (when he was playing with motorcycles).

Excited to share the latest addition to my shop: MXR Script Dyna Comp with MXR distortion + with MXR Power Converter https://etsy.me/3QiOLQg

Excellent take down of "Medicare" Advantage. It is private insurance.

Excellent take down of "Medicare" Advantage. It is private insurance.

Congress must pass a law to stop the deceptive advertising of Medicare Advantage plans. Only Medicare should be able to call itself Medicare. Unless you’ve been out of the country for the past few years, you’ve seen the ads on TV featuring Joe Namath,...

Finished the back of the Map of the World sweater and part of the left sleeve. Should finish it soon. It's not perfect, but it is mine.

I am working a "bucket list" of kits I have purchased over the years. Just finished the front of the "Map of the World" sweater from a kit that was popular in the 80's. That's when hair, blouses, jackets, and sweaters were big. This M cotton sweater will be a tunic when it is finished. Good to wear with leggings. The back of the sweater is going to be fun, as Africa, Europe, Asia, etc. have to be knitted up. My cat, Karnak, also thinks the yarn bobbins are neat little cat play toys. Which adds a little excitement to the task.

Thanks to those who recently purchased my doilies. I really appreciate it.

I have been expanding my knitting skills.
As such, I haven't crocheted much of anything. I knitted myself a purple silk jacket that I will (hopefully) put together for my birthday in July. Currently working on a shawl in silk yarn. Trying to stay indoors as much as possible as it is so hot. Hope to see you in December at the Community Hall Christmas Craft Show.
