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...
😂
