What on earth is a critter?
Hummm what kind of critter do you think I might have on my new Christmas quilt?
Could it be a possum with her babies?
Or how about a camel?
Or a tiger might be nice!
Truth is some of you have already guessed it! You’re so smart and you know who you are! Here’s a “little” hint just in case you haven’t gotten that email from me yet. Critter… what do you consider a critter?
Hope you enjoy these wonderful drawings from my Grand-daughter Michaela. She’s an artist in the making!
Back soon,
Anne

Okay ;) here goes the dictionary: critter: a reginal name for a creature (especially for domestic animals) animal, animate being, beast, creature, fauna, brute – a living organism characterized by voluntary movement.
And Jackie adds: a creature that scurries around our homes. Aha! Squirrels, rabbits, you know the critters that scurries.

Oops forgot to include a squirrel in my list of critters. Do they come out in the snow?

Hi Anne, I have been looking on your site for answers to your hints and while I have enjoyed searching I haven’t come up with much. I do think there could be a schoolhouse type house and maybe vintage sampler blocks made using the alpabet fabrics. We don’t use the word critter much in Australia but I think there could be a little lamb (as in Mary had a little lamb who followed her to school) as you have drawn a few of them before or a mouse peeping in somewhere or a cute little dog.. I also thought maybe an owl keeping watch overall (I know we share a love of them) but he wouldn’t need to see the mouse would he. Winter is too cold for chickens but there could be other birds. Maybe the theme is an Animals Christmas or another thought – Vintage Christmas Cards? Think I’m just clutching at straws here but it’s fun trying. Whatever it is I will love it I’m sure as I already have a few of your patterns some of which I have made up. Hope we get the answer soon.
