Working on some quilts for Salvation Army to keep at the shelter. I have to make certain everything can be washed so I put everything thru hot water with a color catcher with every quilt. So far nothing has faded. THANKFULLY. In this way I can still keep many people warm, and the blankets can be washed and dried without mildewing. Both are happy and it helps get rid of my stash HA HA HA HA! That will never happen. I'm certain as I opened a box and 5-inch squares started jumping out and dancing all over the floor. I'm beginning to believe the Quilt Cops have a key to my apartment and are shoving more boxes inside the door. Somehow, they get past my 1 cat--he protects HIS apartment fiercely. No one comes into this apartment that he does not like.

The one time he stopped me from opening the door at a different home but when we heard the Officer he laid down and started rolling around on the floor (He LOVES his Officers). I opened the door and all of a sudden, we heard him snarl as he jumped. The Officer ducked because he thought my cat was going for him. Was glad he did but my cat went over his head and grabbed the hand of the fool coming up behind that Officer with a knife in his hand. He was going after the Officer as the Officer was arresting his brother. The knife was long enough to go into his heart. My Cat grabbed the knife hand and clamped tight. Saved my Officer and gave the hand up only when a second Officer arrived and took that fool into custody.

The idiot tried to sue me because the cat bit him. The judge listened to the fool, and then he questioned both Officers. Then the judge said the cat is one of the best examples of a hero’s demonstration of courage that has ever sat in his court room. Then sentenced both brothers to 35 years and no parole until my cat passes. Ordered them out of the court room so he could come down and ask if my cat would allow him the privilege of petting him. My cat jumped into his arms and laid there for almost an hour. Both Officers also were petting him.

At the department’s Top Cop Awards dinner both my cats received an invitation. The Chief had my younger sister, mother, and myself along with both cats given Police escort to the dinner at the city hall. Everyone that had a Hero being honored received the escort and free meal. Both cats received a miniature badge, and they were given a certificate honoring the first ever Feline Cops—every Officer at that department have an “Adam Squad” (2 Officer car) and my two cats are permanent partners by order of the Judge. Their meal was made from pure salmon—raw. Neither left a scrap.
I have a new quilt to work on for 2023.
1 judge quilt holding my cat.
I will be using a flag fabric for the background and a silhouette format for the images. This quilt will go to the court. The senior judge wants to have it hung in the judge’s court room as he has recently passed away. I think I’ll make it so it can hang behind the Judge’s chair.
