Nut Hollow

In the beginning of this year, I decided to finally make the BOM that was put out by Bunny Hill Designs called "Henrietta Whiskers." We have a lot of squirrels here and I do like them (except when they eat all the pears on the tree.) What I wasn't too keen on about the pattern was all the blackbirds and pumpkins. I looked at the Flikr site that many of the makers posted their blocks on and I saw that there were a couple of them that went their own way. I decided to do the same thing.

I have already shown block one so this is block two. I love watching the squirrels on the electrical wires on our street. They are just so agile. I shrunk the little squirrels that were in the pattern for block six.

My third block features a little albino squirrel. We did have one that I had seen last year but I guess he/she has moved on. I decided that my squirrels resided on Nut Hollow.
 
Here is the first row all sewn together.
 
So that's it for now. I have plans of changing one or two other blocks in the future. This is not going to be finished any time soon.

I'm linking up with Esther's blog and also with The Needle and Thread Network where it is the 100th post.

    That will be a lovely quilt! You have found perfect fabrics for the tree. Mr. K has seen a squirrel carry her babies in her mouth to a safer place,one by one, running on the electrical wire.

    Your blocks are so cute. Love them. The squirrels we have here in N.S. are very small compared to ones I have seen in Ontario.

    Sweet blocks. There is a town in Illinois that is famous for its white squirrels. We have some black squirrels in our neighborhood and they are good looking.

    This will be a cute quilt. At our previous home we had squirrels who would lay on the top of the fence with their legs hanging down the sides. They were funny to watch!

    I love the Bunny Hill patterns, so beautiful. My friend (sadly she doesn't have a blog) has made almost all of Bunny Hill's patterns. Love your work and look forward to see more :)
