The wee little mouse looks just as cute without the eye…

One of the three blind mice?

Stitch a row of mice to create an adorable border pattern…

My grandmother always said…

If you have one mouse, you have five!

EEK!!!

Who is YOUR favorite mouse?

Speedy Gonzalez, Templeton (I think he was a rat), Stuart Little, Mickey, Minnie, Ralph…

What should we name our quilted mouse?

Your Quilted Mousketeer,

Lori
