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.

Anne, thank you for many years of wonderful BOM’s! I’ve done them all and enjoyed them very much. I’m certain it has been a tremendous amount of work – you deserve a break! My little group of sewing buddies will all miss awaiting the 5th each month to see the new block! But, this will give us time to work on your other creations – LeJardin is still waiting for me. As for Henrietta, she’s been so much fun – I love the crows happily flying around the borders! You’ve made my stitching days very happy ones!

Thank you, thank you! Your BOM quilts have made many homes more beautiful and many quilters happy and busy creating. We are drawn to that creative spirit within us. Thanks for your help in inspiring that in me and many others. We look forward to more of your creations, just in another format!

Hi Anne,
Thank you for this wonderful adventure Henrietta and her friends have brought us upon. I’ve not started her yet but plan to in the near future…too much life getting in the way.
Your designs are wonderful and we appreciate the time and dedication it takes to share these BOM with us.
All the best to you in the future, just because you won’t be dong a BOM doesn’t mean I won’t still come and visit and see what you are doing.
