This is one of Kathy's stitcheries I thought you might like to see.
We think it is one of Lynette Anderson's designs. I have an unfinished one lying around somewhere ... just needs to sew the buttons on. Will have to do something about that.
Before I go, here is a photo of George. As a kitten, George lived with my Mum and Dad. He stayed with us when they went on holiday once and never went home! We still had George when Oliver was a kitten ... they used to wash each other. Unfortunately, George didn't hit it off with one of our neighbours so he went to live with Kathy and the kids. As you can see, he is now very contented and comfortable.
PS. The kids did an OK job cleaning the car, so we took them to see Prince Caspian at the movies yesterday.
Wow, I love the block, but what I love even more is getting the kids to do chores while you are having a little fun! The block is gorgeous, very whimsical. I love George,he reminds me of a cat that I had named Humphrey. He was black and white and was such a sweet soul. I miss him. That Oliver, was a little naughty boy! How funny, the cats are always wanting to "help" out, but end up getting into trouble. He is soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat block, I used the same one in a cushion for a friend last Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing

Gosh Christine -- you've been busy! I love all your stitchery and kitty pictures!
ReplyDeleteI had a cat called George when I was living in Canada and he had the same colouring as your George...I can't believe how similar they look...I had to do a double take! He looks very content.
ReplyDeleteGood idea ...to let the kids work...So you had more time quality time together...
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching!!
Such a lovely block! I love this angel. :-)
ReplyDeletehow was prince caspian - i can't wait to see it myself.
ReplyDeleteour cat keeps getting beaten up by a really big cat from next door - i feel so sorry for her as she is so small and petite. good to hear that george is happy!

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed George's story and your sister did a great job on the stitchery.
How fun that you are both into the same hobbies.
I have just found your blog, from the Quilting Bloggers & I have just loved your posts, & all your lovely work! Love your dog, & also your cat. I will be back.
ReplyDeleteYour sister has done a great job with the stitchery and I love the bright colours. It must be great to have a sister you can be close with. Stay kreative!
