I Made a Giant Rooster (It Was A Dare)

[@edub1478]

As the proud recipient of Mr. Rooster Guy, I can tell you that even this video doesn’t do justice to how amazing the finished quilt truly is. Every detail is perfect! I don’t often make dares, but when I do, it is to my most talented friends…

[@merrymabelmarket]

Ha...Ha...Ha... No more dares!

[@suehorn4182]

You’re a lucky couple

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

❤You are indeed a very lucky couple who has a very talented and courageous friend! What a gift of love from her. I know you will cherish it always. 😊

[@babiifrshj07]

Mr. Rooster Guy is super handsome! I love watching you work but it’s also fun to listen to you narrate through the process. 🤗

[@merrymabelmarket]

Wow, thank you!

[@sead705]

I would LOVE to make a huge Rooster Guy!!!!! He’s amazing and your narration of your process is SO FUN!! Thank you for sharing!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thanks so much!

[@hbustamante44]

Where can i get a pattern its beautiful!

[@WendyBonds-o9x]

Absolutely beautiful! Love this quilt😀 You are a natural quilt artist, matching the blocks, colors, precise sewing on the long arm! I love watching your videos! Thank you!

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

Wow! What a fabulous quilt. Greetings quilters wherever you are. 👋

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

This quilt is incredible. Thanks for sharing.

[@rhondahallet8413]

Best dare ever. What a great imagination you have. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@redknitter]

Absolutely amazing. I would never think of doing something like that on the long arm. You are an inspiration.

[@vickieinman6621]

I LOVE that multi-colored "rogue" print added in. It is perfect!

[@merrymabelmarket]

tee hee... me too!! Thanks for the vote.

[@hrhosmer]

Never thought of using a long arm to appliqué. Now I want one! And never would have tried to appliqué individual feathers, but that’s what makes it so beautiful. The whole pint of doing something like this is to lose yourself in the process, you’re brilliant!

[@merrymabelmarket]

I really do vote that everyone who sorta wants one should get a longarm. I love mine!!

[@sandrapolizzi629]

OMG…I L O V E it! I love chickens and have some showcased on the mantle…you are amazing and so talented… surely you’re making that rooster into a pattern for all of us who LOVE chickens aren’t you😊 Loved your tutorial…thank you♥️

[@merrymabelmarket]

Maybe a smaller version? We are working on it.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Our pleasure!

[@tiffanycollier54]

I have only been quilting for 5 or so years, I have seen these beautiful "show quilts" but have never felt like that was something I would like to do. But, OMG! This is gorgeous! Love your technique, and the way you went about picking colors and actually doing applique on the long arm!! Great job!! Love the video, thank you for inspiration!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!

[@sarahriley5590]

I truly love watching your videos. Your narrations make me giggle and are so much fun listening to while you work. This quilt is breathtaking! I am so glad you took on the double dare!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Oh thank you!

[@mariejohns1387]

This rooster is amazing!! I love him!! me and my best friend have a running joke going for years with roosters. As a kid, my mother loved roosters. I just thought they were creepy. So now anytime my friend and I find an odd rooster we pick it up and save it for Christmas and birthdays. It’s really gotten to be fun to see what kind of goofy rooster we found. I’m starting to really like roosters and this would be perfect for her!! not what she expects lol

[@merrymabelmarket]

What a fun game with your friend!

[@elainejudd4892]

Well done!

[@carlaatkins2619]

Amazing!! Roosters, Chickens, and Farmhouse are some of my favorite themes. 🎶💖💐

[@MBird-ld6uv]

The rooster is so cute, love all the little feathers he just looks so good.

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

❤❤ I don’t often watch entire videos unless I plan to make what I’m watching. In this case I was fascinated and it was so much fun to watch. Just like a short movie. You are a very good friend! You make the whole process look so easy, but I’m sure it was days in the prep and making. I have never seen raw edge appliqué done using a long arm, but you are a pro! Thanks for sharing. You will inspire many!!😊😊😊

[@merrymabelmarket]

Wow, thank you.

[@ritaleek4588]

😊😊you are the coolest of quilters ! Love the “bed rooster” .

[@merrymabelmarket]

Oh thank you!

[@rebeccaforbes8629]

That "red thing" is called a "waddle.". It took me years...to find that out.😂. The quilt is awesome!!! Love it. 😊

[@merrymabelmarket]

Waddle. Perfect name for it too!

[@deepattison9329]

It is a wattle, not a waddle which is how a duck or goose walks.

[@rebeccaforbes8629]

@@deepattison9329 THank you! I spelled it as I spoke it - now I'll pronounce it correctly. :)

[@dollylewis6996]

That rooster quilt it’s the most beautiful awesome quilt I’ve ever seen. I am so impressed. I just have to try this. I’m hooked ❤😊

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you so much!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Raw Edge Applique on the longarm is SO awesome.

[@SC-hj3hr]

Wow, I love the colours in the rooster. Your "collar" fabric suits him beautifully. I've bern workung on a similar project, for months, on my domestic, involving a tree and lots of leaves. I did them in various shades of greens, double sided, turned them out, sewed around the edges, sewed veins in them all and then sewed them onto the tree too, but only attached by the top of the leaf, so they are all loose on the tree. I was doubting myself, but after seeing yr rooster, I'm actually quite pleased with mine now ( being an amateur home quilter) Thank you for yr videos.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Your quilt sounds fabulous!

[@SC-hj3hr]

@@merrymabelmarket Thankyou. I'll send a photo when it's done. I'd love yr opinion.

[@kimbeckner9240]
