Just have a look as this wonderful treasure that my sister Joanne found at the thrift store a few days ago. Isn't it marvelous? A charming depiction of the German folk tale recorded by the Brothers' Grimm's about four clever animals who manage to outwit a couple of robbers.
In Joanne's version, the number and species of animals are a little different from the original tale, but still as charming as can be.
I worked on my Block of the Month plans again on Friday. I got two sets of instructions and two sample blocks done. I'm going to have this project finished before the end of August if I don't hit a snag.
Don't forget to go over to Beverly's blog and see what's happening with the Pink Saturday crowd. That's where I'm going right now.

So love these animals towered. I remember way-back-when we kids used to laugh about them. It is was a doorstop.
Happy PS weekend.

Cute, cute, cute! I remember this story! SCORE, Joanne!
Have you ever seen the World Wide Quilting page where they have blocks with complete instructions and often in several sizes? Check it out and perhaps one or more will do nicely for your BOMs.
Hugs!

I think the animals in the Grimm story were a donkey, dog, cat and rooster. Thanks for reposting my picture.

Happy Pink Saturday Sweetie...
What a gorgeous share today. I love seeing these beautiful creatures of God, all stacked in a row, just to outsmart a robber. I had one as a doorstop back in Oklahoma. I loved it, and it is one of the things, that somehow did not make it to Arizona. Isn't it funny how things disappear in the move? It was lovely to see one again. Thank you for the smile sweet friend.
Have a glorious weekend. Many hugs from Phoenix, Sherry

I have one similar to this that I bought several years ago. I found it after buying a cross-stitch pattern with the following quote, so I HAD to buy it! "Peeps on the sheep, lamb on the ham, sow on the cow, cow in the snow... with no place to go" (or something like that). So I painted a bit of 'snow' onto the grass at the bottom of mine.
