Rachel has been working away on making this fun cat quilt. The design is by John Simpkin called 'Folk Art Cats". (sorry no link, I could only find images)
It's like a calendar of cats............................
This has to be Halloween, November..........a scary cat or a scaredy cat???
Not sure what month this one is? Rachel asked for simple custom quilting, stipple works well with these simple applique quilts.
The borders and sashing got a treatment of triangles, stipple and some pattern meandering.
Thank you Rachel!
Yesterday morning while packing my granddaughters suitcase ready for her plane trip home (insert sad face here) I thought I better take a photo of her finished quilt, yes she did finish it! I think she is so clever for seven years old, she was determined to take her finished quilt home!
Not the best photo here, a bit dark and the light coming in from behind. But then I found a cat to help hold the quilt............................
Still not a great photo, but then who can resist that cute cat face! The other day after buying the cat ear head band I got asked to make a cat tail, so with many smiles at the airport my granddaughter stepped onto the plane as a cat!
Speaking of cats here is Simon worn out from all the love and cuddles from my granddaughter.
Thanks for stopping by, until next time enjoy all life has to offer!
What a unique cat quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh, that girl looks proud of her new creation. Love the story of her as a cat getting on the plane. So cute!
you have an excellent quilter in the making here and the quilt will remind her of the lovely time she had with you, a lovley uilt
ReplyDeleteA treasure in the making, and the seamstress. Guess the airport was a fun time, although goodbyes are sad. Next time, another quilt???
ReplyDeleteYou and your Grand daughter must be feeling very proud. A great achievement for a 7 year old.
ReplyDeleteAmazing cat quilt, and love the quilting.....love the cat quilt your granddaughter made...how lovely to go on the plane as a cat.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for both of you that the raggy quilt got washed and dried so it could go home! Well done, although you both would have had sad faces at the airport I'm guessing......
ReplyDeleteAnd great quilting on the cat quilt which is for someone who loves cats!!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, keep warm winter chicky! Hugs xxxxx
Oh I do like the cat quilt, colours are yum. Your grand daughter is clever and cute, must take after that gorgeous granny of hers! Simon will miss that extra attention I bet.
ReplyDeleteI had a sneak peak of Rachel's quilt the other day and she was very happy with it :-) Neat to see gd's quilt, so cool that she finished it, it's awesome that you both had such a great time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt. Big congrats on your GD s awesome quilt making efforts...great finish! Very cute pussycat x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts - both of them. Gosh fancy having made a quilt like that at her age. How wonderful she did. Love the cat ears - would love to have seen her with the tail too.
ReplyDeleteObviously a great teacher and very talented 7 year old pupil. She is a very cool cat!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had such a lovely time. And a wonderful momento of her time with you - an awesome quilt! Very clever indeed ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm picking that that fire's going looking at Simon....haha....sounds like you all had a lot of fun and the house will be quiet until you re adjust...
ReplyDeleteYou should be a proud Nana, wow at 7 years old I am impressed and what a memory every time she snuggles with her quilt! It will be a holiday to remember.
ReplyDeleteLovely little quilt from your GD. So nice to see your gorgeous quilts today. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely time your gd has had how clever is she at 7 making a quilt. It's nice to see the art of quilting being passed on to another generation. Your work is always so lovely.
