The little House Cat quilt is finished or is it? The peanut gallery is having a problem with the fact that is isn’t straight, well, specifically that the hanging tabs are different lengths. What do you think? My thought with this piece was that the cat was sitting on fleece pad/blanket (green fabric) and it’s… Continue reading There was a Crooked House Cat

That’s Interesting
“That’s interesting” is sometimes the comment my Mister gives when looking at my art. He has been incredibly supportive through all these years of my art making, but sometimes when he doesn’t “get it,” or care for the art piece, he knows how to be diplomatic. I found it very interesting that because the subject… Continue reading That’s Interesting
Quick Quilting
I added a border and started quilting the cat on a mat. It’s raw edge fused and made from painted fabric, I wrote about it here. I decided to not make the piece a square rectangle but to follow the edge of the green mat. I may just look like a bad job instead of… Continue reading Quick Quilting

Up under the Patterns and Supply List tab I’ve added the cat head pattern uncolored; for those of you who like to doodle… Continue reading MeAnndering Cat Head
Something New and a Little Green
I was gifted an herb planter set for Mother’s Day (from my Mister), and even though they were in a sunny window, it wasn’t going well until I placed them outside in the (filtered) sun. At first I thought – In jars without drain holes, bad idea but… Now they are very happy and I… Continue reading Something New and a Little Green
Hot days and garden time
Although I have been quilting up a storm (This is the back view of my most recent painted whole cloth), we have had warm days and I’ve spent extra time out in the gardens. There has been a kitty hanging around ( we have name it “The Cat”) and she is trying to adopt us… Continue reading Hot days and garden time
