Just a word........

This blog is an attempt at archiving visuals of the quilts I make. I hope you will enjoy perusing the offerings. I will also try to give a narrative description of the quilt and some thingsI learned making it. Thanks for stopping by.

Here Kitty, Kitty

     Little girl's love animals.  It seems that they are either dog or cat people.  Lorin is a cat person.  She wanted cats on her 4-year old quilt.  This was a blast to make.  I really had a lot of fun.  The 4 blocks in the middle are Cat's Paws (sometimes called Bear Claw's -- but it's Lorin's quilt, so they are now Cat's Paws).  The applique cats were purchased in a die cut set and I love them.  The 2 cat's in the window blocks I got from the internet.  I sure hope she likes it!
     The sashings are strips from a fabric that had several different lines of cats -- on a wall, in the window, and in the garden.  I thought they added the right touch.  Of course, being a girlie girl, she wanted pink and purple.  How can you resist that?
     Although you can't see it here, the big purple border has alternating cats and "meow" quilted in it.

  3. That's a lot of cats. If Lorin has that many cats someday, I'm staging an intervention...
