I finished this quilt
Cat made for her son a couple of weeks ago. Cat asked me to hold up on blogging about this quilt until she had given it to her son, I happily obliged.
Ok, time for some honesty here. I had
no idea what 'Minecraft' was! Luckily I had on hand the technology....................Google, my ole pal came to my rescue! Then things began to click into place, as last time I saw my granddaughter she was rambling on about 'Minecraft'...................now I know!
Simple quilting of straight lines and some modern boxy echo's on the vintage sheet border, this design was inspired this time by
Angela Walters from her book 'Free Motion Quilting'. All this over cotton batting, Maderia threads and measuring 63" x 63".
Thank you Cat, so pleased your son loves the quilt he had a hand in designing!
This fellow seems to enjoy sleeping at my feet while I work, in my sewing machine cover no less!
I still don't know what minecraft is. I too shall have to google!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a vague idea of what Minecraft may be, but only because I have heard others refer to it.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the cat sleeping in the machine cover. At least the cover doesn't sit idle when you are sewing! : )
Loved the shot of your cat! Strange choice of borders for a boy's quilt, but as long as he is happy :)
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, love the quilting swirls, the cat looks so relaxed, what a great spot.
ReplyDeleteCats make me laugh, they make everything perfect for sleeping in/on/over....they will squeeze and squash just to have the perfect sleeping space.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you re Minecaraft!! It was so cool that Cat's son got to help design his own quilt, it will be much loved. I think cats were put on earth to amuse us with their ways :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all you did to help make my wee mans world a happier place! I love the fact he choose all these fabrics himself from my stash - yes even the border - !! !!
ReplyDeleteHurray for the wee man's quilt!
ReplyDeleteAnd WOW, this cat is such a sweet bugger. Cats ALWAYS seem to find the softest place to curl in.
Oh your pussy cat looks so happy snuggled up in the sewing machine cover. Love the quilting, so right for this quilt.
ReplyDeleteYep I still dont know what Minecraft is but I can google it :-) I love the vintage sheet used in this quilt. Adore the pic of Simon leading such a stressful life in your sewing room !!!!!
