I found the shop when I was in a cat fabric swap with an international group. It was started by a girl in Denmark.

this is a wall hangong I made from some of them. I call it Cats in my Attic Windows

Absolutely fantabulous quilt. Love the shadow boxes and the bright pieces inside. My kind of quilt. It's got a home here! :thumbup:

Hugz and good night for now. Cherie

the group was called RCTQ -- similar to this group. One girl from Denmark posted an idea for exchanging cat fabrics -- I think it was 10" squares-- which made it easy for those who had metric fabrics. We signed up and sent the squares to her. She sorted them and posted the squares back. As I recall there were a dozen or so. France, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Azores, Ascencion Island, New Zealand and Australia. I have met some of the quilters in my travels.

It was interesting because the cats from other countries were all different. -- Siamese sophisticated from France and brightly colored from NZ. I couldn't resist putting in the dog chasing sheep from NZ because I liked the colors.

The windowsills have little cat tracks on them. It doesn't show very much, but I know they are there.

What a cute idea. It makes your quilt quite a conversation piece. Thanks for all of the info.
