From quilter's trash to kitty's treasure

I bought new sheets that came with queen size pillowcases, which I cut down to fit standard size pillows. I used the parts I cut off of the pillowcases, some batting I trimmed off the edge from my last quilt, and stuffed it with the too-small-to-use snippets I've been saving up. Literally all my "Trash", lol

My booberry likes to sit on a shelf under my desk, and he seems pretty comfy on his new pillow!

How perfect. A nice soft place to perch!

​Cute kitty and pillow!

sewbizgirl 09-13-2017 04:59 AM

Very cute... Whenever I make (or buy) something specifically for the cat, she won't use it. Then what I dont want her to sit on is where she likes to sit. I'm glad your cute kitty has accepted your gift!

Great idea and better than bought!

Jordan 09-13-2017 09:45 AM

very cute.

Booberry looks very content on his new pillow. Great idea.

Battle Axe 09-14-2017 02:28 AM

My cats want to keep an eye on me, so no matter where I am, they position themselves so that they can see me. Your very nice kitty is probably doing the same.

Clarice29 09-14-2017 04:56 AM

Nice kitty cushion. I made a quilt for my son's cat. My cat prefers the bed or the recliner.

salederer 09-14-2017 07:07 AM

I love your "waste not, want not" slogan. My mother pounded that one into me and I'm glad.

salederer 09-14-2017 07:09 AM

Love the idea of stuffing with snippets! I will start saving mine from now on. Great job using "leftovers".

JanieH 09-14-2017 11:01 AM

What a great treat for your furbaby! He looks so comfy.

Monika 09-14-2017 04:54 PM

Love it! and he is quite a handsome fellow!!

vicki reno 09-15-2017 03:11 AM

What a good idea! Kitty gets a new bed and scraps stay out of the landfill. Good job!

gramadona 09-15-2017 05:04 PM

Is that cute, or what!?

D.Henson 09-15-2017 05:10 PM

This is so cute and a great idea for scraps!!

JJBlaine 09-16-2017 01:14 AM

Thank you all for the sweet compliments on both my kitty and his new pillow. He is sitting in it right now as I type away. :)

I was pretty surprised myself. When I reupholstered my favorite chair, I used the leftover foam and fabric to make him a miniature version of my my chair, and he refused to sit in it. I think it helps that I put it in his favorite perch and because I quilted it. He really likes sitting on my quilts, especially when I'm still working on them, lol.

My Boo is the same way. He was actually diagnosed with an attachment disorder, and has to be within 3 feet of me at all times or he starts crying. My neighbors tell me they always know when I'm not home because of his crying!

That's every single cat I've ever had lol :D

Booberry looks very content.

Greenheron 09-16-2017 04:12 PM

Reminds me of my long, long ago cat who just knew a quilt in a frame was really his hammock.

Treequilter 09-17-2017 04:03 AM

Great use of scraps! There is just something about fabric and cats. Seems they go together always!

Rumbols 09-18-2017 07:13 AM

Cute kitty and nice idea.

Maralyn 09-21-2017 09:56 AM

I always struggle to find a use for the scraps and your idea was a fantastic one.

javin22 09-24-2017 02:14 PM

OH how cute your kitty is and what a nice pillow you made for him.

fred singer 10-17-2017 04:06 PM
