Started November 2002 I collected ties from men in the family to add to the middle of this quilt. The rest were from thrift stores or friends. As I write this I have washed, ironed, and cut all ties…I made the fan part and put them all on a black square of fabric and used my embroidery machine to fasten them down. It is a time consuming quilt to make so I have put it aside for awhile and will start on it again in the winter MAYBE when finished Mine will look like this Beginning of fans 48 fans completed Put on Black Square & embroiderd - Started this October 2003 This one I did at my first quilting retreat. It is done with all Thimbleberries fabric. I didn’t complete it because once we laid it on our king sized bed we liked it and thoughts of redoing the bedroom to match the quilt is running through our minds. I like the warm feeling that the fabrics seem to bring into a room. As A Quilt As a Bedspread That cat quilt that I made was inspired by my sister’s love for cats. I found a fabric that was covered in cats hiding in daisy’s. It has blue sashing around each cat as though it was sitting in a window. Made in the spring of 2003. The batting is 100% cotton called Warm & Natural. Judy's Cat Quilt Meow! Here Puppy Puppy! This is one I made for my "grand puppies". I first bought the fabric to make a dog bed for Bob and Aum's dogs but realized that I would have to cut the border off this fabric. Off I went to the sotore and purchased a new blanket for batting. Sonn the dogs had their own quilt...so I hope they don't feel left out. For the 3 Grand Puppies Winter of 2004
