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 am grateful that you have given us, your fans, the free BOM patterns. It was very generous of you and truly inspired a lot of people to applique. I belong to a group, the Sassy’s, & we all had a lot of fun & great conversations while making the blocks. Thank you!

Dear Anne:
I completely understand how much time and effort it takes to share those free blocks of the month with us, and that you’re ready to put your talents elsewhere. Thank you for the quilts you have so generously shared with us.
I’ll continue to watch to see what you’re doing next and am looking forward to the blog hop.
Best wishes and gratitude,
Donna

Thank you so much for the ones you’ve already given us! After all you’ve offered, who can begrudge you the balance you need in your life now? :D
