This is such a fun show hosted by Sew Cal Gal and I just had to take part seeing as I constantly have a "cat on my quilt" situation which prevents me from continuing my work until her highness has moved her pretty tushie. =)
There's still a day left to enter, hurry over there now if you have the same situation at home that I do! =)
For some reason, when you get a new catnip toy, you have to drag it up on a quilt so that all the drool ends up a quilt and not some easy to clean surface - like the floor =) So this little series of pictures clearly shows that quilts aren't just for sleeping, they're for playing too!
Just so you understand my drool comment ^^
And on the playing with quilts theme, here we're playing "hide the mouse" in my Summer Squares quilt, hence her silly facial expression: "Where is it!? Can't find it mom!"
Here's Diana on my Companion Cube Quilt, the fact that I was trying to quilt it was nothing she considered very important when she had feet's to wash and naps to take ^^
My blog header has to be mentioned here of course being a cat on quilt picture that I just love, it pictures Edward, the love of my life who passed away much to soon in November last year on my Crazy Rainforest Quilt. I still dream of him almost every night and I will never forget him. I know this isn't exactly the happy spirit post one would expect from a contest post but I just can't have a cats on quilts post without mentioning Edward, so one more picture of him and then I'll wrap up ok?
This photo is of Edward and his very own convergence quilt, I made it for him when he was sick the first time and he loved it. This was his "hospital bed" with his pet dragon and very own much to small for him tent he got in a show. This time he recovered miraculously after months of illness and around the clock care.
Diana has since then inherited it and loves it as much as Edward did =)
I have a ton of more pictures of cats on quilts but I feel I have to wrap it up somewhere and I thought this would be good time because otherwise I'll continue forever =)
So to sum up: I love cats and I love quilts, the combination of the two being the most awesome combination in the world!
If you like my submission, I'd be really happy if you'd vote for me when the voting starts <3
and I love your cats and I love your quilts!

This is so cute. Everytime I have a fresh catnip pouch my cats go crazy too. Your quilt is beautiful
ReplyDeleteI can no longer have cats due to allergies, but they seem to be quite the helper in the sewing room...
ReplyDeleteHis very own quilt and he shares it so well! Hopefully none of them will need it in the same way again.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing your beautiful cats! And you are such a fine cat servant to make them such pretty quilts!
ReplyDeleteEdward is perfect in your header, such a great memory and I love the little pink frog. Diana is also a cutie and looks great on your quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love your header and perfect tribute to a lost love. Luckily my 'queen' like to keep her catnip on the kitchen floor - maybe it's easier to roll around on? Then after the 'stupor' sets in she has to curl up in one of the scrap tubs. You have beautiful kitties and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful kitties. I like that convergence quilt, perfect for the babies. I like the header with Edward on it. I don't think we ever forget them and we wouldn't want to. They bring us so much joy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful cats and quilts with us!
ReplyDeleteHaha!! I can relate to the drool comment. :D Don't cats just crack you up when they do the hide thing?
ReplyDeleteMe too, I love cats and quilts and like when we're all together. Diana and Edward are lovely creatures.

Edward was beautiful and so is your new baby Diana. Mine never seem to care if I am working on the piece either.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your lovely kitties with me. My dogs will not allow me to have a kitty, so I do enjoy looking at photos of other folks kitty companions.
ReplyDeleteA cat with a pet dragon - now that is funny. Love all your kitty pictures,so sweet, and the first quilt pictured is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of what are obviously great kitties :)
