Thanks QuiltnNan. I am going to go try one after I rest awhile! I have been at the machine since early this morning, and my back is crying fowl! Getting old is not for the faint of heart... it hurts! LOL Jan

Turned out great. I saw the previous post also and wanted to make some. Are you just making the eyes with an ink pen? They are so cute. I will have to try these.

I just finished one and have the blocks made for 3 more. I used a pen for the eyes and I don't like it. The pattern calls for sewing "thread eyes" but I think I have some black seed beads. If I can find them that's what I'll use. If not, I guess I will have to use thread. That's just my personal preference. I was surprised how easy and fun they are to make.

These are simply adorable! I've been wanting to make them. I can see why they were a hit with your guild.

these are adorable, I made several in a smaller scale and I quilted a few. and then I made about four as wine bottles covers, an easy project well received.
