The Cat's Meow

 My brother always buys me "cat items" because, of course, I am a cat-lover. He purchased this "Compleat Cat" book a good while back for me. They're just really cute stories. Three volumes in one.  

I decided to sew the Cosy Cat Placemat for my entry into Challenge 14.4 - A Novel Project.  


I think it turned out cute, but it seems like it's a little small for a big plate and silverware. Probably great for a bowl of soup, though. I can use it for a cup of tea on the table beside my couch. It was very quick to sew and I had plenty of small scraps to use that were left over from other projects.

Laundry is fun!

For the Project Quilting Challenge #14.3 , I looked up the Generations quilt block, for my 54-40 or Fight block. I used their paper-piecing pattern which worked out good. Then I decided to add the block to this Laundry bag.


I have made quite of few of these Lined drawstring bags. This one will work out good for storing a whole quilt. When we go camping, I may bring it along for packing the dirty clothes. I used scraps leftover from this quilt.

Completed in 2020. Clearly, I still used the 2019 label.

I do use this quilt quite a bit on my couch. It is a good size that I can just throw over myself if I get cold. Couch quilts are a necessity. 

It was awesome that I won a drawing for the 2nd challenge. I won these fabrics from Electric Needle.


They also gave me a 3 pins. I always enjoy some sarcasm.


Thanks for the challenge. We do not know what Challenge 14.4 will be.
