The cat’s whiskers!

Once upon a time I was a city cat.   That’s all changed for the good, now that my folks moved to Dungog.   My dad made me my own bed so I can lie in the sun & look out the window to watch the occasional passerby.  I am too old now to be a bother to birds, and they parade in the front “powder puff” tree that blooms in the front yard.

I really am the cat’s whiskers now!

Safety pins!@!!

All these pins for one lap quilt!

All of these pins were removed as I quilted the top using a favourite variegated thread.  

I received a request to make a quilt that features the feline animal - Ah, I do have such lovely catty friends!   Out came my range of cat fabrics and off to the shop to purchase a few more;  then within a week this quilt was created.  Took about three solid days to do, mainly because of interuptions from my own cat (oversees everything) but also due to the close quilting I thought this quilt deserved.   

A special label is now being designed to suit the recipient’s situation, before this quilt goes to its new home in the mountains.   I think the lady who receives this will be over the moon – not only will it keep her warm during the oncoming cool winter conditions it should delight her heart as well.
