Night at the Ritz
I’ve always wanted to make a two color quilt and the new gray and ivory in Puttin’ on the Ritz fabric just called to me! lately I find myself adding a lot of white and gray to my decorating so why not to a quilt? Mooch loves how this quilt turned out. The minute I folded up the quilt she was on it… Her toes were twitching and she was busy dreaming… It’s no wonder she likes this quilt. I made it in her colors…gray and ivory. Ritzy cat for sure! Night at the Ritz measures 74″ x 74″. Pick your favorite two colors and make one for yourself. How…

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.

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? …

Happy Dance Quilt
Some quilts just make me happy! That’s how I felt when I saw Irene Baldock’s version of “A Tisket, A Tasket”. Irene lives in the UK and sent a photo of her finished quilt. I love the fabrics and colors she used! …and here’s another treat! Irene’s version of Henrietta Whiskers! I’m doing the happy dance Irene! I love your quilts! You can see more versions of Henrietta in my Flickr group. You’ll never know how much you all inspire me! A big thank you to each and everyone of you who are making this quilt! Have a great day everyone! Hugs, Anne
