My Squirrel panel

It has taken me (too) many months, but I took the last stitches in that top-most bird tonight!  : )  I do have ALL the circles to place and stitch yet.  All things considered, I feel pretty satisfied and wanted to share my Squirrel panel with you.

Also you will see my little jar of prepared circles.  Along with a stack of circles ready to be made.  They all have a running stitch and are waiting for a bit of starch and my iron.  Perhaps one day soon...
 Enjoy your day and the stitches you take!

Piecefully, Pam

    It's beautiful Pam, I love it on the chocolate background. I really am liking the mix of the solids with prints too, great idea to prep circles in batches.

    I love the way you made the animals, solid body and print for wings,tails etc. Great idea, will have to remember to incorporate that idea in the rest of my blocks. Love the bright sun in the upper left hand corner! Do you think we could send it to our sisters in australia?

    It turned out beautiful, stand back and admire it! Mine is all cut out and waiting for me to sew it.

    Well done, Pam! I love the dark background and the way it makes all the elements stand out; I must try that on a future project. Prepping the circles is a great idea. Do you just do a number of different sizes or are you prepping circles for particular spots on the panel?

    Absolutely gorgious Pam! The colors just pop against that dark background. Your needlework is beautiful. I'm anxious to see the circles added. It's hard to imagine the panel looking even better, but it will! :)

    Looks great Pam!! I like how your green leaves (and birds too) get lighter nearer the top--really gives it a glow, particularly with your dark background. Lovely fabric choices for the birds--just the right mix of reds with colors. It looks so wonderful without the circles--I am curious to see it with them.

    What a lovely piece. I'm a quiltmaker and a collector-of-squirrels, so it appeals to me doubly.

    Thanks, everyone, for your nice comments! I will have to think about which block to do next. Then the prep work begins... Meanwhile, I am working on CIRCLES! ; )

    Pam,
    Mahvelous, just mahvelous!!;)
    Great mix of solids and prints-stretches out the Kaffe fabric. I'll have to remember that. The dark background makes it all pop so nicely.
