American Round Flag

It all started with this sketch...

Paramjeet has moved to town and we are so happy to have her here.  She is a very sweet person!  She was teaching one of her techniques to another woman and I had been invited to her lovely home.  I got the inspiration to make this little quilt for the School's Carnival for the American stall in the Food Fair section.  She patiently guided me along...

I had sewn all the lines down and was ready to start ripping the paper.

Alice and Paramjeet having a look at my work!  Cute pose!!

This was a sneak peek.

The final little quilt hanging on my studio door.

I love this little guy.  I learned a lot and LOVE this technique of Paramjeet's!

The little quilt ended up under some blue netting on the table which hosted baked goods at the Fair.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peek A Boo Quilt Top and Uki

I had taken a class about two weeks ago and finished working on the top.  I had basted it about 5 times before I got it done nicely.  As I was planning the quilting and embellishments; I got a visitor!

You can see two blue Soft Paws on her claws.

Another angle.  So darned cute!

I basted the edge of the quilt with thread.  I was using a curved needle and was worried that Uki would hurt herself so after I took this shot, I finished this length of thread and put it away until I could get to it next.

I still need to quilt it.  Hopefully you will see it next week!

Cat Nap Quilt for Uki DONE!

I found some fun cat fabric and birdie fabric a couple of weeks ago and had been meaning to make a little quilt for one of the cats.  Since we came back from America in August and I did some laundry, it seems that Peaches really likes to lay on a little quilt I made for a challenge years ago.  It never made it back on top of Amal's bed but on the steps.  Now, here comes Uki and she steals everything from Peaches so I saw her eyeballin' the little quilt when Peaches wasn't laying on it and decided to make it.

Here is it.  It is just little.

I've been seeing on blog land that people are quilting with colored floss with large stitches and I liked it.  Again, I love color.

Here is another kitty that I just quilted around.  It was hard on my hands.

This is the backing with the little birdies.  Love it!

Hey, I can't find those glasses!?  Here you can see my stash buster quilt in progress in the purple then the front and backing of my little cat nap quilt and my glasses.

Here was the real test.  Uki came over to inspect it.  I put it under my window so she can look out.

Oooh, good sign!  She is taking a bath on it!

What?  Where did Peaches come from?  Now whom is stealing from whom!!??  hahahahaha

These girls are so much fun.  I really enjoy my kitties!
