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″)

Have clicked on block 6 but nothing comes up except a larger picture. Where is the download pdf file located please? Each of the other 5 blocks the pdf was fine.
Regards :-)

Well, this week I finished my husband’s quilt for his birthday, Feb. 27. I’m terribly slow. (-: I finished block 3 tonight, but I haven’t done any applique yet. I’m trying to decide between regular material or wool or both. I’ve been looking at the wonderful photos to help me make up my mind. oh, well spring break is almost over and I need to grade more papers so I can start on report cards for next week… once I’m through with that I’ll start on the applique. Happy sewing.

Oh, what can I say, I do love to iron, it’s kind of a zen thing to do – a new iron that’s so nifty would be wonderful too! Thanks for the opportunity and for hosting the give away.
