I couldn’t help myself.
This squirrel was so cute! I had to drop everything and make it!
I know all you sewists out there relate!
This little guy is only 9.5″ x 12.5″. The free pattern was designed by Terry Chilko and is available here.
I free motion quilted a small meander for the background filler; like the meandering thread on the fabric print that I chose for the back of this little quilt.
I also embroidered a red French knot to the seam ripper.
This little guy is going to join one of my favorite quilts in my sewing studio!
Quilt On!

So funny — I just sent that to a friend the other day. I recognize Sunbonnet Sue lurking under that costume. 🙂

I just found your version of my Grim Ripper pattern! I LOVE the little red French knot – it’s prefect. And, YES, it was inspired by Sunbonnet Sue. Non-sewers often don’t quite understand, but we get it! I’m so happy others enjoy the pattern – thanks for sharing. Terry 🙂
