National Squirrel Appreciation Day/A New Start

Thanks to Julie, I know what day it is, Squirrel 🐿️ Appreciation Day! Here’s Alexander, my studio squirrel. He’s been on hiatus as DGD found and claimed him to play downstairs but he’s baaaaaaack!


And he may have influenced the start of a new BOM project I’m doing with a long distance friend 🧐🧐


I have on my list to make a Christmas quilt, so I’m doing the BOM in Christmas colors but not using Christmas fabrics. 

Here’s my sewing machine still life showing mountain majesty (currently on row four), Celtic Solstice and a not seen before friendship star project underway. There’s also a glimpse of on the right of leader/ender blue crumb blocks for the RSC.


More on the FS project….it will be king sized and is destined for a couple in England.


Jan, the Colorful Fabriholic, has a friendship star in her charity projects on her blog that inspired this one. It will have light gray background and dark grey background blocks forming the layout below.

Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day! Cherie

  5. I thought the 54 blocks were bigger; they are little! All the squirrels are hiding here! It is too cold to be out scouting for food.
