Hey friends!
I have some fun facts to share today.
1. I went to my besties cabin this weekend. We share everything, she even gave me her strep throat. I did get a ton done. I will talk about my project here soon.
2. I am in Charleston right now. Archaeology waits for no person or virus.
3. Antibiotics are my friend.
4. I have a finished quilt I have not photographed yet. Now I will have to wash it again, because the kitten loves it.
5. Speaking of cats, I have finished my cat lady quilt (first discussed here). End of list.
The cat quilt is the first quilt I quilted on my new Juki 2010q and I decided to go big and matchstick quilt this business. It was a dream on the Juki (I named her Juju).
The fabrics were pulled from my stash and this awesome bundle from Sew Lux (curated by me!!!).
Max approves of this quilt. There is something really awesome about cat on cats.
He also loves feathers. We don't even buy cat toys, just bags of feathers from the craft aisle. Not as awesome as birds would be, but a good second (this cat has never met a bird, but he has hopes).
Quilt Stats:
Name: Cat Lady
Size: 57"x 57"

PS - Meow love.
I loved the colors of the fabric!! Looks great. Sorry about the strep throat. Between strep and the flu this season has definitely been a hard one for a lot of people.

ReplyDeleteWhich is it virus or bacteria!! No need for antibiotics for your virus. PSA over. #nerdybiologistrant
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt...and Max is adorable too. Hope you are feeling better soon. Strep is not to be taken lightly. (I may send you my "auntie" lecture separately!)
ReplyDeleteThis turned out fantastic!! You color placement is perfect - love the one with the teal woodgrain as the background. It's totally a Sarah quilt! Bring it next Uphome Retreat - I have to see it in person :-)
