It all started with this lovely piece of Kaffe Fassett fabric called "Purple Big Leaf" from his 2014 Fall collection. I wanted to send a special gift to a dear friend of mine overseas but had been undecided what to make for her. When I posted a photo of this purchase on Instagram, she commented how much she loved this print. I knew then and there that I would use this print for her gift. I know that my friend especially loved the teal and the purple in this print so I wanted to make a feature out of both of these colours. I spoke to the squirrels and we selected a pattern - "Double Goosed" by Jeliquilts.
My friend had no idea what the squirrels & I were planning, but she did get taunted with the following photos which I tagged her in on Instagram...

| Snowy the Squirrel cranked up the Bollywood music and danced in his Sari whilst we sewed |
 |
| I couldn't work out why I had such a hard time removing the papers after I had pieced it - later I realised that I had forgotten to change my needle. Instead of a 90/14 I was still using a 70/10. |
 |
| Binding - purple & teal. |
The parcel decided to take the slow boat to America, but after 4-weeks of anxious waiting (and stalking of my friend's Instagram feed) it finally arrived YAY!!!! Now that I know that she has her parcel, I can share the rest of these photos with you...
