Pets on Quilts

Lily Pad Quilting has an annual Pets on Quilts show.  You can show off a pic of your pet on one of your quilts (or just animal themed quilts).  There is voting for favorites and just random giveaways of a ton of great prizes from a host of kind sponsors.

Previously, I never had a quilt to show off so I didn't really participate beyond commenting on a few of the posts I saw.

But this year?  Well, this year I have a finished quilt to share.



It's my crazy mini quilt (pictured with and without the decorations).

But the real point of this show is to brag about our pets, so my official entry is for Cat on a Quilt.


Two cats, one quilt.  It may be small but it's big enough for a bath.  Eugene is helping Olive out with her hygiene.  They are always washing each other (when they're not nipping and swatting--they play rough!)


Gene on his own.  I couldn't get him to look at me for anything.  Ollie was distracting him, getting into something under the table (I sew in my kitchen at the kitchen table so there is always something on or around the table that they have to inspect).


And Ollie having her solo flop on the mini quilt.  She's always showing off her bewbies.  She loves to roll around doing Super Cute to try and get you to pet her.  She loves belly rubs and all kinds of attention.  Both are very people oriented and they love each other.  I'm very lucky to have two great cats.

The quilt?  Well, it was mailed off to my swap partner.  So my very first quilt isn't even one I'm keeping!  That's ok, I have tons of fabric, I can make another.

  3. I love cats... they are so funny. They have definitely given the inspection and approval to the swap quilt. You will have to make them their own!

  27. Ha ha on Olive showing off her "bewbies" -- I laughed out loud. Also love the smoky colour of Eugene (and both their names--great!) They will be getting my vote!
