Cats!

I was just watching this cat chase its tail and be a real clown! We had a cat for 18 years so I know the antics they get into. This one is no exception.

My newest cat shimmer reminds me of Holtzmann above (I think it's the ears). Yes, Holtzmann. Gale named the kitten after her favorite lady Ghost Buster - go figure.

Miniatures

Have you ever made any miniature quilted pieces?  Back in the late 90's, our guild had a challenge to create a very small quilted piece. I made two.

This one is 4 1/4" x  5 3/4" and was hand stitched.

The heart block mini is 3 1/2" square. Each block is less than an inch and consist of 9 pieces. I would never attempt doing that today - I think I have more sense (Grin)!!

Needle & Thread Network

It's Wednesday and I just signed up to The Needle & Thread Network. There you will find lots of Canadian quilters displaying what they are working on. Please drop by for a look.



Also, take a look at this tutorial, Mini Bookshelf, from Don't Call Me Betsy. This one caught my eye as a simple one to do as a gift. You could embroider the book titles or do it as shown in the tutorial. It would make a nice wall piece for a child's room or your sewing room. Think about it - lots of possibilities!

Enjoy!!!

I'm working on new needle felted ornaments! Photos coming soon.
