Yeah, right!!!!
What have I been doing with myself? Well, I wasn't going to show and tell until it was done but it seems to be taking longer than I planned and I can't keep it to myself any longer.
In between volunteering for the shelter, being sick, and jumping through hoops for the unemployment office I decided to make a quilt. I have pieced many quilt tops but I have never quilted one before. Spring came and I needed to do something crafty and fun so I decided to make a kitty quilt. I now have half of it actually quilted!!!! I find that amazing with all the help I'm getting! Soon, I hope, I will be able to show a finished product but for now I want to share just a few pictures of my helpers. I just know I would never get this done without them!
I made all my blocks and laid them out on the floor to arrange. Sammy has always been my biggest helper and has "helped" me with many quilt pieces.
Sammy studies the situation
Faking me out and acting like he's not going to do anything bad.
I knew better than to leave him alone but I had to go to the restroom and this is what I found when I came back.
I shewed Sammy away and put everything back in it's place for the next testers.
I finally managed to get some blocks sewn and got it all pinned for quilting when it needed to be tested again.
When I finally got the first section quilted I began sewing on buttons for eyes. Leroy and Magoo had to inspect and make sure I did it right.
Leroy kept grabbing my thread! He didn't approve of the eye color I guess.
I finally got the top section completely quilted and it had to inspected again.
Daddy walked by and gave Stubby a scritchie and she gave the first elevator butt on the quilt
Well, that is what I've been "trying" to do these last two weeks! It really looks like cats though because they are already covered in hair!
My helpers and I will keep you posted on our progress and hoepfully we will be able to show you a finshed quilt one of these days!
