Every home should have a cat
 

Here's what I've been working on....One of my best friends is a Katrina survivor and they are finally in a nice warm home after living in various temporary and makeshift places. As a housewarming gift, I made her this quilt. All of the kitties are cat prints and I dyed the rest of the material myself. She loves cats, has several and always admires the cat quilts when we go to Paducah to the show...so this is her very own cat quilt (it was a total surprise for her...she had no idea) The title, "Every home should have a cat" is an old Italian proverb and suits it and her perfectly.

Well done! Love all the kitty prints. I have 2 cats, and they are always helping me with my quilting or should I say "inspecting"!

Great job. Love all the cat fabrics. You are a good friend.

You made a beautiful quilt for your friend. I love the Italian cat saying. May your friend enjoy this quilt without ever having to go through a katrina type event again. I am glad she is settled. I has been 7 1/2 yrs since Katrina and it is easy for those of us not effected to forget that it takes truely years for many to get their lifes back.

What a heartwarming gift!! It is absolutely adorable!

Great quilt and I agree, every home should have a cat.

Your quilt is wonderfully adorable and beautifully made!

Great job, cute little kitties

I agree with the title and love the quilt!

Oh that is so very cute. lovely fabrics too!! i have 3 cats, now to just teach them all to vacuum!!!

That is just adorable. I love it. (and cats).

I love your cat quilt!! Great job. What a wonderful friend you are to make a special quilt for her.

That's a very nice quilt. What a wonderful friend you are!

Ditto!!

Very nice quilt! I bought my daughter a cute dish towel with embroidery onit that said, " in a perfect world, every home would have a cat, and every cat would have a home."

Such a cute quilt.

Very pretty! I love the cat fabrics

That is a beautiful cat quilt. So nice.

Your friend is blessed to have a friend who created something so special just for her.
The cat prints are darling. You did a great job !

Great job. I'm sure she will treasure it. I agree with you every home should have a cat. :-)

That is adorable..

Adorable. I really love cats. I made a cat quilt wall hanging for my sister many years ago. In the center block I embroidered "Cats are people too". Your's is MUCH bigger. I used a few of those fabrics before.

I love the quilt. I'm a serious cat lover. What a wonderful gift for your friend. Sounds like your friend is a true survivor and this quilt will brighten her new home.

You have given me a wonderful way to use my cat prints. My "inspectors" are always "helping" me as I quilt

I love your choice of fabrics. I have a collection of cat fabrics because DGD loves cats. She has outgrown that. I will make donation quilts using that pattern. Very very nice job

Love it. Great job. She will love it too. I love cats and have one cat despite my allergies. Thanks for posting.

Meow! Meow! I love it!

Thanks everyone! she was so surprised and absolutely loved it. After all of this time, she deserves some special things. while it can never replace what she lost, I know the new memories will be just as cherished.

As a certified cat lover (aka feline fanatic!!) I can guarantee she is going to love this quilt.

I love the proverb too. I have one that is similar.... "A home without a cat is just a house."

Awesome job! What a nice welcome home gift!

Wow! Beautiful! I have 5 cats- can I have a quilt like this- :)

Adorable quilt!

Do you mean that it fits her PURRRRfictly? Tee-Hee. I once had a cat named Purcifer. The name came from a James Mitchner novel but I thought.... what better name for a cat? I like your quilt and have used that pattern a number of times myself. You are a good friend and I am sure she is blessed by your thoughtfulness.

When I lay blocks out on the floor to start assembling the quilt, my kitties have to go to jail. They can move a block perfectly without a wrinkle anywhere. How do they do that??
Of course they get extra love when they get released...
Love your kitty prints. It must be fun collecting them!

adorable quilt
