RITA'S GREAT IDEA!
RITA MADE A BEAUTIFUL QUILT FOR HER DAUGHTER USING ALL THE RED-BROLLY CATS SHE HAD IN BOOKS AND MAGAZINES. HERE IT IS....
WELL, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO MAKE YOUR OWN CAT QUILT. SO- EACH MONTH I WILL PUT A CAT DESIGN FOR YOU TO STITCH ON THE BLOG. YOU CAN MAKE THE DESIGNS INTO CUSHIONS, QUILT OR A SMALL QUILT FOR YOUR CAT. I'M HOPING YOU WON'T NEED A QUILT LAYOUT, BUT CAN MAKE IT TO YOUR OWN DESIGN. IF YOU DO NEED A LAYOUT- LET ME KNOW.
THE FIRST DESIGN IS FROM MY SECOND RED BROLLY BOOK.
HERE'S THE STITCHED DESIGN ...
AND HERE'S THE DESIGN. CLICK ON IT TO DOWNLOAD -IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS- LET ME KNOW.
HAPPY STITCHING.






What a great idea Bronwyn. What a coincedence about your first stitchery choice. :) I've just stitched the cat in redwork for a bag i made. It's on my blog & in Flickr. Hugs, Jeanette

Hi Bronwyn,
Thanks to Rita for the great idea...and to you BRONWYN for your great generosity, a treasure to look forward to each month...
We are a cat loving house..but sadly minus a cat for a number of years now, just couldn't bring ourselves to replace our old cat after having her for eighteen years...
:) Happy smiles...looking forward to each months cat arrival...
Chris...NZ
P.S..thanks for your email Bronwyn.

Thank you!!! We have two cats and my daughter has two cats also. She will love anything I make with a cat on it. I'll have something to look forward to stitching every month. Thank you so much!

Oh I am so excited!! I don't know quilting though. Is there some really easy pattern out there???
Also, can we change some of the colors on the stitchery????
Says Miss Paula | February 03, 2010 at 05:28 AM
Hi Bronwyn!
This is a great idea! Well done Rita. Love cats - Thank you for giving it to us - and I'm already looking forward to stitch it.
Hugs Hanne

Hi Kris-
Definitely your comfy chair again! I love all those patterns on cane chairs. I shouldve drawn it with a puppy and a teddy on it instead of a cat!!
Cheers-
Bronwyn ...

My computer wasn't familiar with the file for your first cat stitchery Bronwyn, so parked it in the "back blocks" so to speak, and the image is very small. Could you prepare them in PDF format? PDF is really easy to create and easy to download.
Thankyou for your consideration,
Kind Regards
Judith

Being a cat lover like so many, I was so excited to here about the cat quilt. I am not sure I can wait a whole month but I'll give it a try.
Thank you very much.

What a cute design. I have cats and this is just perfect and a wicker chair very similar to this (that they love to sit on). Thank you.
