One last picture for the day ...

I made this easy block quilt three years ago when I was still very new to quilting but it is still one of my favorites. I think the pattern was called Short Stacks.

I fell in love with this big pansy fabric from Thimbleberries and had to make a smaller quilt, too, that I hang above the bed as a wallhanging ... and a pillow with the piece I did my practice quilting on. I just did diamond cross hatches with my walking for for this one. I love to make pillows and table runners and such to go with all my quilts.

I just put this back on the bed yesterday and you can see my quilty helper ... she is my daughter's cat and her name is Butterfly ... was also very happy to have it back and did the "look at me and take my picture" thing again ...

Enjoy ... off to sew I go ...

have a happy, quilty day, everyone ...

:D Pat

You can just imagine butterfly is saying 'Look at me, I'm prettier than the quilt'. Personally, I think its 50 - 50! I love the quilt too.

I agree with everyone so far.

It's a nice homey feeling quilt. I like it! Kitty is pretty fine too. I made my home visits (home care and Hospice; I'm the casemanager and Love to get out to see patients too), it seems that almost everyone has pets. People are always surprised that their furry friends, cats AND dogs, all love me from visit #1. Actually I think that animals can reason, and know that I'm there to help their master. I've always liked pets, but it's pretty cool to have a couple dozen "new" ones that I rub frequently and know by name! I can just tell that this furry friend would enjoy a little chin rub from me. . .

jacquemoe 07-15-2009 06:29 PM

I see why you like it. Hmmmm, thinking of making something like that for my granddaughter. It's perfectly lovely and so is the kitty.

Beautiful. I love the florals. I can tell the quilting inspector is glad to have it there.

Your quilt is lovely but the little (maybe "little" isn't the right descriptor) black and white fur baby enjoying a stretch on the lovely quilt is darling. Thanks for sharing.

Love the quilt inspector!!
Cute!

zennia 07-16-2009 04:56 AM

Oh this looks so inviting. Is it teh Turning twenty pattern? Butterfly definetly gives her approval. Nice job.

Sharon M 07-21-2009 07:34 PM

Love it!! Really nice combination of colors and the pillow and wall hanging really add that extra punch.
Thanks for sharing.
