Animals of Australia

Camira, the Sundrop Spotted Cuscus 6" appliqué block pattern $2.00

Cuscuses are members of the Phalanger family, a type of possum.  The Spotted Cuscus is a little different from most, having no stripe down its back.  It looks like a cross between a possum, a koala and a monkey.  Due to its prehensile tail, the first Europeans to see it in Australia often thought it was a monkey.  The Spotted Cuscus is a shy, nocturnal critter and spends most of its time in the trees, so is rarely seen by humans.  Their bodies are about the size of a housecat, and have 12" to 24" tails.  They hae a variety of color patterns.  Males are usually spotted, but most females are not spotted.  They are marsupials with forward facing pouches. Sandy Did you know? The cuscus has 5 digits on each paw.  The front paws have two opposable thumbs while the back paws have one opposable thumb. Juvenile spotted cuscus can go through a variety of color changes before they reach mature adult status. The spotted cuscus's tail is half furry and half hairless.  The hairless half has scales on the underside.

Sundrop Critters 2005-06

Do to interruptions, it took two years to design a full dozen critters, but they're finally available as a set.  This set has no unifying theme, so I'm calling it the Sundrop Critters Potpourri Pack!

Set of twelve 6" appliqué block patterns. Critters from top left: whooping crane, panda, owl, mosquito, rainbow trout, chipmunk, raccoon, poodle, spider, stork, mallard duck and sea turtle. Sundrop Critters Potpourri Pack $11.95

Scruffy's Page Scruffy has been begging for his fair share of attention for himself and other canine creatures, so he now has his own page for the dogs.

Sunny's Page This is where all the cats hang out and try to teach the world about cats and everything else under the sun.  They tend to argue a lot about the "right" way to do things, so please forgive me if pages don't get uploaded in a timely manner.
