Karlanda is named after an IKEA couch in honor of my mother. You don't have to understand this - but you do have to admit that Karlanda is a fitting name for this fine bird.
She (Karlanda, not my mother) is part of a challenge I'm working on - the Fat Quarter Challenge. I'm trying to use up every last bit of that yellow-with-red-dots fat quarter. So far, I've made the two lovey-dovey chickens and Karlanda here, and I still have fabric left over. I see another evening spent in the sewing room in my immediate future...
