Henrietta’s Big Party!
Can you believe this is the final block for Henrietta Whiskers? Henrietta’s excited and a little bit nervous too. It’s not everyday that a little squirrel gets to meet so many people! I don’t think either of us ever imagined she would be so popular. I’m giving you block nine and the final quilt a day in advance! If you’re spending this holiday weekend sewing, you might have time to finish the quilt and have it ready to hang for Fall! Henrietta Whiskers Block Nine Henrietta’s busy catching stars and Sophie’s helping! And now that you’re finishing up your quilt (you are finishing aren’t you?) you’re probably wondering what I’ve…

Henrietta Block Eight!
I’ve posted block eight of Henrietta Whiskers a little early for my blog readers! Henrietta’s showing off more of her neighborhood this month. Rumor has it that the people who live in this house feed Henrietta peanuts. And that sometimes Henrietta brings along a friend… or two… or three… …and they all “pig” out together! Good thing I didn’t put any peanuts on this quilt. Imagine how many squirrels might have shown up! If you’ve been keeping up with the blocks, your quilt should look something like this… There’s only one more block and then you’ll be able to sew your quilt together! That’s the part I love don’t you?…

Happy 4th!!!
Happy 4th of July everyone! Henrietta’s here a day early to help us celebrate. I hope you have a bit of time this weekend to get started on block seven. Two more blocks to go and then we’ll be onto the borders! We’re so close to finishing! Be sure to click on the “Sewing with Kids” tab at the top if you have a little free time this weekend to spend with your child. The first project is up along with some suggestions on how to teach kids to use the sewing machine. If you have a child or a grandchild who wants to sew this is going to…

Just a few squirrely friends
We all have a few squirrely friends don’t we? Ha! Right now all my friends are wondering if I consider them squirrely. The dictionary defines squirrely (yes it’s slang) as being eccentric, flighty and maybe a bit odd. Think about this…Henrietta doesn’t see a thing wrong with being squirrely. Most of her friends are squirrely and so this month I’m giving a new meaning to the word! squir-rel-y: -adjective, fun loving and full of joy. Able to leap tall pumpkins in a single bound. The perfect friend. Block Six: Henrietta’s Squirrely Friends We’re 2/3rds through the quilt with this block not counting the border…have you been keeping up? …

One week and counting!
It’s crazy right now! 1 week and counting before quilt market and everyone I know is scrambling to get things done. I leave for Salt Lake City on Tuesday! It’s exciting to think of so many new things under one roof! The last time we attended market in Salt Lake, the city welcomed us with open arms. Salt Lake we love you! If you saw my newsletter you heard that my newest block of the month isn’t quite ready. Think about this…some of the fabric for Raining Cats and Dogs just arrived on Saturday! That’s right, I’ve been waiting and waiting for it to get here and the quilt blocks…
