New Critter Redux: Cirrus the Turkey


I just uploaded a new pattern for Cirrus the Sundrop Turkey to my website: http://sundropdesigns.net/ .  Cirrus will be free through Thanksgiving Day.

Cirrus is one of the original Sundrop Critters that I created in 2001-2002.  Here's what he originally looked like:


In 2005, I redesigned him to look like this:


While I'm quite happy with this 2005 version, I really wanted a pattern for a fairly simple turkey in profile.  You can blame Missouri Star Quilt Company's Thankful Wall Hanging (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI8HFbhlcCk&t=1316s) for that!  I love that wall hanging and hope to make one someday.  But, instead of making three 6" Dresden turkeys, I want to make three 6" Sundrop turkeys that all look different.  So now I have three different Sundrop turkeys to use under the 10" Dresden turkey that Jenny Doan shows in the video.
