Year of the Cat – 28-1/2" x 28-1/2" Wall Quilt

   The simple lines of Claire’s Cats are a perfect match for the many elegant Asian fabrics on the market today. This kitty was sewn from one large piece of cream fabric. The buttonhole stitching was created with two different colors of grey floss. The darker shade was used on the ears, feet, and tail, while a lighter shade of grey was chosen for the body. This gives the cat the appearance of a Siamese while still using just one piece of fabric for the appliqué. A pale blue fabric was appliquéd for his eye and the pupil was sewn with embroidery using the satin stitch.
   Made by Darcy Ashton using Warm Blend™ 50% cotton/50% polyester batting by the Warm Company.
