Halloween & Fall,  Quilts

Henrietta’s Big Party!

Can you believe this is the final block for Henrietta Whiskers?   Henrietta’s excited and a little bit nervous too.  It’s not everyday that a little squirrel gets to meet so many people!  I don’t think either of us ever imagined she would be so popular. I’m giving you block nine and the final quilt a day in advance!  If you’re spending this holiday weekend sewing,  you might have time to finish the quilt and have it ready to hang for Fall!

Henrietta Whiskers Block Nine

Henrietta’s busy catching stars and Sophie’s helping!

And now that you’re finishing up your quilt (you are finishing aren’t you?) you’re probably wondering what I’ve done to that top and bottom strip!  I’ve had your trust all year and you’ve followed me blindly so to speak, so I’m excited to finally show you the entire quilt.  Click on the photo and it will enlarge it.

You’ll find the pattern for block nine along with the finishing instructions, by clicking on the free tab at the top of my blog.

…As We Come to the end of My Henrietta Block of the Month…

…I’ve been struggling trying to find a balance in my life between designing fabric, patterns, quilt markets, family, pets, traveling and oh yes, I forgot me!  Block of the month quilts take so much time to create and I know  you understand how crazy life can get.  I’ve made the difficult decision that Henrietta will be my last free block of the month. I know I’ll be disappointing many of you but I hope you’ll understand.  I have LOTS of fun things up my sleeve that I think you’ll enjoy so please don’t think the fun will end.  New surprises are in the planning stages!

New things added to my website!

You’ll find new floss and notions under “What’s New” on my website.  We are now carrying Cosmo Sparkles Floss and because we’ve gotten so many requests, for a limited time  I’ve  added Cosmo Seasons color #8041.  It’s in stock now and ready to ship!

and…Help me clean our our sample room!

We are filled to the brim and need to make room so you’ll find some great buys on samples and quilts from our patterns! I just listed more on my website.

    I just want to thank you for the beautiful patterns you have shared these past years! I didn’t make the snowman one–for I live in a very tropical area and we don’t have much snow here. But I have loved making ‘Tisket/Tasket’ and ‘Henrietta.’ Your patterns are really fun to make. I’ve made the “Baltimore Bunny’ and am working on “The Night Before Christmas”. I have the “Rabbits love Redwork” to do! Guess I am a true fan! Your little grand-daughter is precious! Being a grandma is the best job! Take time to enjoy the special role and the things that are special to you!! That way you will continue to love what you do!

    Thank you so much, Anne, for all of the BOMs! I first discovered your site when you were doing the Tisket and Tasket BOM. Your designs are absolutely wonderful and I love your products. I cannot imagine how much work went into the BOMs but know that I will continue to follow your adventures. Especially with your new grandbaby! Can’t wait to see what surprise you have in store for the MODA shop hop!
