TALKING SQUIRRELS

 I woke up yesterday to this 'squirrel' talking to me--


Remember that I stopped working on This quilt the day before when I went to put on the last border--

and it said 'NO'--to it--

But as I woke up --this little red squirrel reminded me of a piece of Christmas fabric that I had gotten and that it was just the 'right' one for the outside border--

so being the obedient quilter to red squirrels--I went 'pawing' though my Christmas fabrics and found it--and by 'golly' it was a perfect pick--

so after breakfast--the fabric got measured and cut and sewed on--


you can see the fabric in the squirrel photo a bit better--it does add a nice frame and it not nearly as busy as this one-- 


I love this print--only it was just 'too' busy for this nature top!!

Then I set to work on sewing the lattice on these Christmas embroideries I did while watching my Nascar races--

and I got this far--one of the colors in the lights on the lattice is the same color as the corner stones--
so this photo is not really a good photo as it does not show how well it really blends in--
this will have at least one more border--but am trying to decide just how I want to finish this one--?????
It's so excited to be this far--that it's not able to tell me yet--
 how it wants to be finished!!!!

It's 'kinda' of another grey sky day here in Florida--again-
the only advantage to grey Florida days--is that I can 'see' my tree lights on all day!!!

BE VERY VERY CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE'S--THIS VIRUS SEEMS
TO BE EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW--
I AM HEARING FROM LOTS OF YOU-ABOUT FAMILY MEMEBERS HAVING COVID--
KNOW THAT I AM PRAYING FOR ALL OF  YOU--
LUV AND HUGS AND PRAYERS, DI

Great fabric your chose! I never have 'just the right fabric' in my stash. I have to go shopping tomorrow for some border fabric that I should have gifted on Friday. Oh well. I'm being super careful, which translates to super boring. But....better safe than sorry!! Stay safe yourself.
