Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls

It's been awhile since I made any of these.  I actually made them back at Christmas when it was terribly cold outside but I never got around to listing them.  My little Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls are now available in my Etsy shop.


 


I only have 4 for right now so if you want one, don't wait!!  Shipping is free!

Dad

Shortly after my mom past away in April of 2023, my dad got sick.  I took care of him for a year and he passed away on November 4 2024.

I spent months and months packing up the house and finished up just a few weeks back.

So that's why I've been MIA for so long.  I try to stitch when I can but I'm burned out now and will get back to it when I can.

I'm just now starting to think about designing again.  It'll probably be a little slow going and I don't plan to go back to full time work, just part time.  

One of my little cats is sick with Irritable Bowel Disorder.  No rest for the weary right!  Giving him meds is a nightmare.  This isn't my first rodeo with cats and meds but I've never had one fight me like Bleubird does.  Thankfully, the meds aren't forever and hopefully he'll start responding to the treatment soon.  He's only 11 years old and has only been getting meds since Thursday.

A couple weeks ago, I was at the McHenry County Historical Museum.  They have several beautiful Crazy Quilts and some antique samplers on display among other cool textile things.  I'll share photos next time.

Another Peacock

I finished up another peacock block:

 

This peacock was a pendant that I bought at a flea market. I think I only paid a dollar for it.

The branch is some fancy yarn that I couched on.  The gold trim is vintage as is the little tatted flower.

There's a lot of sparkle on this one but it's hard to see.  The camera just doesn't pick it up.
