Cats and Friends

There is a hashtag on Instagram called #melissapaintmycat.  
I tag my cat photos of the boys and Hallie on there all the time.  
Well...Melissa painted my cat!!  She painted Hallie!  
I, of course, had to buy the painting.  It looks just like her!  
Sometimes she does cartoonish ones but this one looks just like Hal.



This is the photo I tagged.


Then, you must remember the monthly goal group I was talking about.  
Where the person that finishes all their projects on the list can win a prize each month?
I put out the challenge and volunteered to give the first gift.
That meant I couldn't win.
Robin won the first round and I gave her this bunny dishtowel that I made.


Well I was the winner for February. 
 The previous month's winner becomes the gifter.
This is what I received.


The bottom is a pouch.
The middle is adorable cat fabrics.
The picture is Cole and Finn.
Robin drew these from photos of my cats!
She is an amazing artist even though I don't think she gives herself enough credit!


I'm so thankful we are friends and really appreciate all her artistic input into my quilts.
She has a good eye and we love to spend time talking quilts at work!


As you can see, Finn is in love with my little crocheted cat, Jack. 
 He was made for me as a gift from my friend Jackie!  I seriously have the BEST friends right?

I leave you with a short video I took of Cole this morning.  
He brought me his ball and wanted me to play fetch with him before I left for work this morning.  Silly cat!

WIPs With Friends

I hope all my friends had a great Thanksgiving weekend.  
Ours was pretty low key but nice. 
 I made a new recipe using brussel sprouts and butternut squash in a Maple-Soy glaze that 
turned out great!

What special recipes do you and your family make for Thanksgiving?

I managed to get quite a bit of stitching done this weekend, 
but much of it I can't share at this time as it is for gifts, sad I know.

My daughter in NC sent this photo of her and her boyfriend and their dog, Max.


Cole seems to disappear in the lap of my oldest daughter.


I took a couple of photos of my son and Finny and isn't this amazing? 
 I love how this picture came out.


I made a chenille blanket.  
This is what it looked like after cutting it but prior to washing and drying it.


Once in the washer and dryer the magic happens!  
If you want more info on making a chenille blanket go to the tutorial section in my header.


Look how big Cole is getting!!  That is a 24" mat.


Also, he and I play "fetch the ball" every day. 
 He was jumping up on my sewing table all weekend and dropping his ball for me to throw.  
I store batting behind my door so it doesn't open very far.  
I have to "thread the needle" through the space to throw it for him to go fetch. 
 I finally managed to get a good video of him doing it.  
Enjoy
