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? Is this your first try at using wool in applique? How do you like it?
I had so much fun with the wool I can see playing around with it might be in my future! I bought some Robin’s Egg blue and creamy white wool at market that I love. Add a ball of Valdani Pearl Cotton and I’m ready to stitch!
Now I just need to dream up a project…
Hope you all enjoy making block six of Henrietta Whiskers!
Hugs,
Anne

This is my first BOM and my first time appliquing. I love these blocks. I have Made lap size quilts but I send them out for quilting. My question is can these be quilted as you go along? I have put my embellishments on and I scared I going to ruin it if I try to quilt when completed. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much for giving us these free patterns!

I’ve almost always believed squirrelly means “displaying intense symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.” I like your definition, and your squirrels, a whole lot better!
