Mr. Squirrel's "nuts" are just some sort of wooden bead, but his tail is real mink!!
My dear friend Gerry sent me some red fabric with shirred "puffs" that reminded me of.... a dahlia! So, I decided to make a dahlia and add it to this piece. All I did was stuff one of the puffs with a tiny bit of fiberfill, cut out puffs in roughly the shape of a circle around it, and stitched it down.
I was pleased with how this wheat turned out.
