Then he decided it was washing time. I'm glad he's so clean but really!. There's a time and a place!
Then it was playtime .. naughty boy! By this stage, I was 'not happy Jan'. (He's out of focus due to all the wriggling about.)
After all the excitement it was time for a snooze and I could finally get to work.
I did finally get it all basted. This is the fabric I'm using for the back ... Roman Holiday by 3 Sisters. Sorry about the horrible photos - this fabric is actually white though you'd never guess it. Had hoped to quilt it today but rearranged the kitchen instead .. as you do!
Lastly, Sylvia asked for the name of the pattern for the table runner in my last post. Sylvia, it is called Crossroads Table Runner and is from a book called Charmed and Dangerous by Heather Mulder Peterson. The book is published by Anka's Treasures.
My little Frida says meeoooow to Oliver and says he is a cute boy who knows exactly where to sit and sleep. Because she does exactly the same.
ReplyDeleteYour tablerunner is beautiful and of course beautiful cats knows where to fine the best spots.
Your redwork tablerunner is beatiful, the fabrics are lovely! I think Oliver wanted to tell you he would like to have it!!!
ReplyDeleteKitties are so funny. My 2 feel that anything that comes into their world is there specifically for them. Guess Oliver has the same idea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table runner.
Cats speak the same (body)-language.. no matter where they live. Midas loves when I‘m handquilting or hand-stitching the binding. He then thinks he owns the complete quilt and I can have the several square centimeters I need to work on...
ReplyDeleteThe table runner is gorgeous -- love everything about it.
ReplyDeleteOliver's antics are priceless and so typically cat! I think he's telling you he gives the table runner the kitty two paws up seal of approval!
Looks like Oliver appreciates beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteVery Cute! I love the red and white. And Oliver too LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that cats have to be in the middle of quilting projects! Your photos of Oliver are adorable as is your redwork piece.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better when the kids decide to help out...beautiful table runner Christine....
ReplyDeleteI love the red and white table runner. I think Oliver was trying to help you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know about the book. I already have placed an order for it today should get it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks again. Sylvia :)

ReplyDeleteCats can be so naughty can't they! I know you wouldn't be without them...just like me! I like the redwork runner...looks great. Jo x
ReplyDeleteLovely tablerunner and the new blog layout is delightful!
ReplyDeleteChristine, That Oliver...so cute, but so naughty. You just have to love him!! I do love your table runner, maybe that was Oliver's way of saying he approves. Check back on my blog this weekend and you will see Rolo's naughty antics.
