Halloween & Fall,  Quilts

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

    Hi Anne, I too am really enjoying this BOM. This month is adorable- the squirrels look like they are having so much fun! I am trying to put an Australian twist on each block which hasn’t been too hard but you have me a little stumped this time – will have to really put my thinking cup on!!! Thank you so much for these wonderful patterns.

    Once again, Anne, you delight us with the cutest block. Henrietta and her friends are just too much fun! Thank you so much for sharing her with us – we are so lucky!

    And, your new granddaughter, Lily, looks like a perfect angel. Once again, Congratulations to your family!

    Do I have to admit that I’m a bit squirrelly at times….. and I have to admit it in public… on your blog? Quilty! ;(

    Thanks for sharing so much with all of us. Debbie
