When browsing the Quilt Index for inspiration, I found one with appliqued children playing with chickens. My niece Ashley, typical of youngsters today, sends me "Selfies" (a self-portrait photograph taken by her camera phone) of her and her pets. One selfie in particular captures her personality and that of her chicken Dr. Pecker. That was my inspiration for this quilt. In this age of portable technology one can truly capture interesting, whimsical, wonderful moments.
