And now dear readers, it is time to take a hint from this cat, obviously stitched with Metler thread and on display at the Cats' Protection' stand.
Many apologises for not making a note of the maker's name.

Anyway, it is a lovely quilt, and it has inspired me to climb into bed, too.

Ps. she can't be a cat princess; there is no pea underneath the bottom cushion!

Sunset Wonder was a crowd stopper but hung so that not many people passed by, unfortunately. I tell you it GLOWED!

The cat looks very comfy on top of all those cushions.

It put a smile on my face and I just had to take a picture.

I hope there isn't a pee on those cushions, sorry, rude but couldn't resist!! Sleep well.

Queeniepatch said...

Isn't the sunset just wonderful. It GLOWED!

Queeniepatch said...

There is no pea nor any pee, neither on nor underneath those cushions!! Although not Royalty she is well breed and a real lady!

Really enjoyed all this series, and seeing all the quilts :) I'm not a quilter, but the love of beautiful fabrics and threads crosses all craft boundaries, doesn't it? ;)

I am glad you enjoyed the quilts. More and more quilts are now being decorated with embroidery and fancy stitches.
