Cats on my Quilts


 


Sew Cal Gal is having a 2011, Pets on Quilts Show.  I'm joining in.  My fur babies always help me when I am quilting.  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  How else would I know if my quilts are soft and warm and perfect?  Felix loves everything I make.  He just can't get enough of my quilting.  See how eager he is?


Mimi on the other hand is very fussy.  But she loves bright colours.  She is especially helpful when I put my blocks on the floor.  Then she rolls in them and moves them about as she pleases.  The layouts usually look better when she has had her say, than if I just lay them out myself.  Oh, yeah.  I almost forgot.  She also loves to play 'catch my tail' when she is busy helping.  It seems to help her artistic concentration.  Thanks Mimi and Felix!

  1. The picture of Felix made me laugh, he is certainly focused. Mimi is gorgeous, I've always had a soft spot for white cats. Of course, she likes bright colors, they make her look even more beautiful. Thanks.

  4. I have a tuxedo kitty too - they're so helpful! And Mimi's coat helps show off the beautiful colors of those 9-patches. Thanks for sharing.

  5. What a great idea. I heard that the best quilts are blest by cats and pups. That makes them much more valuable.

    Take pictures!

  6. Gorgeous white cat - my furry does the 'tail chase' thing too, but the round and round chase like a dog does.

  9. Your fur babies are adorable, as usual and especially on your layouts and quilts.
    I think they also get a high from the materials, the smell,new or old.
    So by keeping your hobby going your cats will stay helpful and happy.

  23. Mimi is just so adorable, catch the tail - awesome. Of course I am biased as Mimi looks identical to my Tika kitty. Felix is beautiful to, such a hansome sweet face.
