GOOD NEWS!!! BAD NEWS!!!

The most wonderful news is that Button Mad
sent me these wonderful buttons and earrings.

Bad news is for some reason that one earring has been flipped over each time I go and retake this picture.....so I just gave up. Awesome earrings. Awesome Buttons. Thanks so much Jennifer.




So...the good news is that I was laying in bed this morning and I came up with a brilliant (even if I say so myself) idea to use those buttons.

Bad news is, I can not find the other buttons that Button Mad sent me.....I have searched high and low.

More bad news, they are with the buttons I had for my Be Attitudes quilt...and believe it or not, I was going to finish up the borders today and get it going.

Good news is....I had misplaced all of my coupons.....I found them...whohoooo I search and search for these buggers.

Bad news....they are all expired.....hummmmmmmm

More good news, I ordered these fabrics from my sister's store, Inchworm Fabrics, I ran out of this fabric a few post ago. Now I can get busy and finsh up this quilt.

Bad news....I have to go to JoAnn's (I know...I know...poor me) and get some fusible light pellon.....

I had the most wonderful friend come over yesterday (I have to say that because I think she is starting to read my blog...wink!! wink!!). She asked me what do I do with all of my quilts and why do I keep making them. She says she only does a quilt with a purpose. She knows exactly where it is going in her home and if she is making a present for someone.

So....I am asking all of you, why do you keep making quilts? What is your drive?
I know my answer. what is yours?

I have a poll going on the side bar (you can choose more than one answer), but would really love to hear more than a few words of why you quilt.

Free Kitten Pattern

Do you remember this? Just click on the highlighted area and it will take you to the older post.

Some of you will not, this was an earlier post. Like April 2009





Well.....I noticed that Accuquilt came out with a Go cutter similar to this design.

When I was in Samoa I cut out all of these cats and was working on them but got side tracked. They were all scrunched up in bag with the fabrics.





Today I am offering you the pattern for free, just email me. You see the pattern and the cats....the cats don't have their tails.... The tail goes on last. There are eight, I was going to applique them on squares and make a quilt.





If you would like the cats, I am not including the fabrics....you can have the cats as well....I have totally lost interest in doing this quilt. So there are eight cats and I have eight white cut outs so you can sew and turn your cats and then applique them on squares.

Just leave a comment for the cats and pattern. You can try to retreive the pattern from my tutorial and free patterns right under the header.
