"a Quilt for the Chickens!"If you agree, would you please sign this petition? It's for the city of Philadelphia to amend the urban livestock code to exclude hens/chickens. Under the proposal families in the city limits can have up to 4 laying hens per household with proper waste disposal and sanitation facilities in accordance with the city’s guidelines.
It's soooo fast and you don't have to live in Philadelphia. Also you don't even need to comment on the petition if you don't want to :)
Do it for Lulu :)
Please rest assured that this isn't a huge group that will turn your home town into Chickadelphia. It's a small group of individuals that want the ability to keep chickens as outdoor pets in order to provide eggs. The petition needs 220 more signatures to be proposed to the city for the change AND a perk to raising awareness is that I'll be giving away this baby quilt to a winner a week from Friday! Just leave a comment on this post for an entry.
42 X 39 inches. 100% cotton pieced top and 100% cotton flannel underneath. If you post about it linking the petition on your blog gets you 5 extra entries for a total of 6, just let me know which one you do! (Feel free to use the "a Quilt for the Chickens graphic above ;) )
Disclaimer: I'm not a professional seamstress and this was done on my home machine. I don't see any puckers or issues so I'm pretty confident in the workmanship of this quilt!
IMPORTANT NOTE* YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGN THE PETITION TO LEAVE A COMMENT AND WIN THE QUILT. THE QUILT IS TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE CAUSE. AS STATED ABOVE "If you agree, would you please sign this petition? " if you don't then don't :o)

you've got my signature. LOVE the quilt.
I support you, I signed the petition.
I signed, and I supported. Cute idea to raise awareness!
I signed! I've been toying with the idea of getting some chickens myself, so I'm definitely in support! Good luck!
i want it, i want it, i want it... and signed the petition, so want YOU to have chickens.
I signed. I miss the chickens on Salt Spring. It was really FUN. Good Luck.
I have signed the petition. I lived in Philadelphia for 6 years and I see no problem with chickens being raise in the city.
Good Luck!

I agree!
More! Urbane! Chickens!
A lot of the chickens these days lack sophistication and I admire your efforts to class them up.
Oh wait, Urban or Urbane?
I'm still trying to figure out if Coquitlam will let us have chickens :)
I signed the petition Bannatyne; now lets get that quilt over to me ; LOL; you know I want to win something you have made. Good Luck on the petition! Let me know if you need more help! Merrie
I signed, had my mom sign and my husband. I am also going to create a link on my blog. Love Chicks!!
Aileen
I love the phrase urban chicken. Thanks for the heads up! I'm signing asap.
Good luck, love the quilt.
I am a friend of Aileen's...but I signed because I TOTALLY agree - I want urban chickens! Love the quilt too, so pretty.
i signed, of course. I am all for hormone free eggs. The quilt is gorgeous.
I think this is a terrific idea. Raising hens to provide eggs for one's self is a way of taking charge and becoming a little more self reliant. In a suppressed economy it could offer a reassurance that even though times are hard...and likely to get harder, there are things we can do for ourselves. Let us get back to our hard working roots...at least give us the option.
Signed. Grateful for the awareness opportunity. Marc and I want chickens. And I love the quilt. It was the quilt that inspired me to infuse a little sewing into my life!
Signed it and good luck. You could always be like a few of my neighbors and just do it. There are quite a few of people in our ward that have chickens, but no one here seems to care.
PICK ME!!
