That pillow looks FABULOUS with your guest room quilt. It really puts it over the top without being too matchy-matchy. And I wish I could get one of those crazy squirrel proof birdfeeders from your GIF at the end -- we finally found a "spicy" bird food that the bluebirds, house finches and woodpeckers love but the squirrels stay away from it. Win! My husband calls them "the tree rats" and he is like a real-live Elmer Fudd out in the yard in his underwear, chasing squirrels away from his bird seed with a BB gun... Too much information? ;-)Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-42169986951353446422020-07-13T08:19:24.276-05:002020-07-13T08:19:24.276-05:00That is going to be a great table rammer.

It sets it off so nicely on the bed. And the runner! I don’t know how those blocks started out, but what a striking pattern as a runner.

My squirrels used to take the top off the birdhouse and spill the seeds all over the ground, which I didn't really care for. One day I caught them in the act, and I said, "No" pretty loud. They ran, of course. Now I just keep an eye out for them, and if they start climbing up to the bird feeder, I authoritatively say, "No!" and they go to the corn cobs I leave out for them. I never knew squirrels could be obedient!Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-47105326338880282782020-07-10T13:33:52.735-05:002020-07-10T13:33:52.735-05:00Your Squirrel Pillow really finishes off the guest...Your Squirrel Pillow really finishes off the guest bed nicely, Sarah.
