Henrietta Updates & Class
Wow, some of you are working fast on the Henrietta quilt. You already have your backgrounds pieced! I’m really amazed! For the rest of you please remember the general instructions are just that…general. You’ll get the exact cutting directions every month with each block. Don’t feel like you need all the backgrounds pieced at once. You can do them as you go along.
Because some of you are such super fast quilters we’ve caught 3 mistakes in the General Directions for Henrietta Whiskers. Henrietta is so glad you took the time to email me! She’s driving me crazy because every time she sees an email with her name in it she gets really excited! I’ve got to get her out of the studio!
If you’d like a corrected copy of the General Instructions just click on “free” from this blog or my website. If you’d like to update the ones you have here are the corrections:
Page Three
Sku # 2673 18 add two 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ squares
Sku #2676 11 under Top & Bottom applique strip: add one more 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ square for a total of 5 (one is for block five)
Sku #2052 13: should be 2 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ (not 10 1/2″)
Page Four
Change bottom left corner strip to 2 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ (not 2 1/2″ x 10 1/2″)

I would be beyond happy to win the iron. I went to the website and was blown away with what that iron can do. I quilt as well as being one of those old fashion-type people that still iron most everything. What a gift to have an iron that actually helped do the work. I will keep my fingers crossed that I could be the lucky one.

Hi,
Love your patterns and the bunnies too!
The lavendar sachets are a great idea. I made a lot of balsam pillows at Christmas time and may have to try a few of those. Of course, with a new iron, the project would go a lot smoother. And since my husband has never liked an iron he’s met and since he does do his own ironing, two of us would be happy!
Have a great day,
Kelly
