Very cute squirrel and so fun to go with your bird, I mean, squirrel feeder. I love the idea of a flag on the window.

Fun for all is what these hops are all about.

Thank you Mdm. Samm and Thearica for such a lovely time!

Quilting Quietly

I'm really excited to be waving my flag today with the above creative ladies. So here goes...

I don't have any garden flag stands, and with 3 feet of snow still on the ground they would look a little silly anyway. When I first signed up for this hop, I immediately went to the Flags on a Stick website to make up my wish list. Such courteous and immediate service when I discovered I was having difficulty setting it up. Gotta love live chat!

It was hard to decide what I wanted, they have such awesome products. Who knew you could have such pretty welcome mats (among other things). I know I want one of those. Again, weather not permitting, I chose instead to purchase two window flag hangers. Love them!

I had such fun with this pattern from Quiet Play. Guess you may have noticed by my new header that I've gone squirrely. I've stopped chasing them from my bird squirrel feeders, and have been blessed with such entertainment. The other day I had about 10 of them at one time. What a sight!

So here is squirrely...

As you can see through the photo, the backing and binding are the same (self bound).

These flag holders are really great and inexpensive. I'm sure you noticed that my "tabs" are just pinned on in these pictures...I really just wanted to take photos before the sun set...they are all sewn on now!

I'm loving foundation paper piecing since the hugs and kisses hop!

Looking for a way to get an outdoor shot, I discovered that I could use these hangers in the car as well. The suction cups are moveable. Great idea for those with young children or grandchildren in the back seat...good size to block the sun and something fun to look at.

Sew loving my squirrels!

Oh, and if you have made it this far I'm giving away a cute Rocky & Bullwinkle fat quarter in keeping with my love of squirrels...Ha ha...I remember watching this as a kid...go Dudley Do Right!

I can say, I love buying from

I learned of this fabulous Canadian resource back last November through their Canadian Blogathon and have since joined their Kona Fat Quarter club. A great deal! I also loved their Fat Quarter Frenzy sale back in February. What a fabulous way to increase my stash! Their customer service is one of the best I have ever experienced...they are a joy to do business with. You can also find them on Twitter and Facebook too. If I lived in the area, I would attend their classes as well. But, I'm just grateful for their online store.

Now go sign up here for the giveaway...
