SQUIRREL ALERT.....et al

Here are the front and reverse of my Christmas

Table runner...

As you folks who follow me can see,

I used five of those 16-patches squares that

were really Christmassy looking

for the reverse along with

the almost rest of my Jason Yenter 

Holiday print that I love at the two ends...

****************************

Then I worked on my 4th Star Spangled hand quilting 

for a bit...

I just love that cream colored

thread on the white...

I was working along, just minding my business..

W H E N...it happened...

***************************

See, 

I had seen this Aurafil Block of the month  last week;

and it had just stuck in my mind, you know how that happens?

We had visited Tuscany a few years ago,,

and

hmmmmm

Well, I had a severe 

"Squirrel Attack"

Here is that block:

Isn't it just lovely?

And here is what I have pulled and cut from my stash...

My own version...that I plan to embroider..

After all.......👵

Since my cross stitch butterflies have made my eyes cross

I figured I could do this one ...

{That's my story and I am sticking to it!}

This block is the creation of

Alyssa Thomas from "Penguin and Fish blog"

for Aurafil's

block of the month;

and she has a series of YouTube videos 

detailing it from start to finish...

AND for those of you who love to hand embroidery

like I do...

Her blog features the cutest and

most delightful embroidery

kits....

( Note: I have no affiliation with either Alyssa or Auafil

So

"Squirrel= one

Julierose= zero...

😂

Hugs from afar on this hot, humid afternoon
