Pets on Quilts Show 2015 - Cat on Quilt

'Suzi the cat' - Pets on Quilts Show 2015
'Suzi the cat' - Pets on Quilts Show 2015
Adorable, I know.  This is Suzi the cat's entry for the category of 'Cat on Quilt' in the annual Pets on Quilts Show 2015 held at Lily Pad Quilting.  Once you have stopped 'oohing' and 'aahing' over her cuteness, pinned her on your Pinterest page etc, please head over to Lily Pad Quilting and take time to look at other cute cats (Be warned: there are dogs there as well ...). Then from the 27th August 2015 you can vote for your favourite.

In this prize-winning photo Suzi is resting on my red and white Nearly Insane quilt whilst I am removing papers.  I used the English Paper Piecing (EPP) method which was a great way to get the quilt done, but is time consuming when it gets to this stage.  I spent a whole day removing papers yesterday and even with the bits I had done before I am only half way through.

Suzi did suggest an alternative way of removing the papers at one stage.  It involved a lot of frantic activity on her part  (usually when I was not in the room) - in this shot I have caught her in the act!

  2. Hahahaha - that is such a fun picture of Suzi removing the papers. I bet that would come in handy for getting at the little bits stuck in the corners. She's a beautiful kitty Frances!

  10. I love it when my cats curl up like that, I need to start leaving my quilts around to give myself a chance at catching a photo like yours! Mine don't really play in the sewing room if I'm in there, they're still learning how to be inspectors.

  15. That look in Suzi's eyes when you caught her playing with the rows is too precious. Whoopsie, guilty as charged!

  16. I'm absolutely thrilled to meet Suzi. She is such a beauty with great purr-sonality. And your red/white insane quilt is gorgeous. I'm a big fan of red and white quilts and yours may be the most complex I've seen. But I totally love it and look forward to seeing it when you finish it. BTW, I'm working on a red/white quilt, but a very simple one compared to yours, using the Drunkard's Path blocks.

  21. What a helpful little cat! I'll have to throw my paper pieced projects under my cat and see if she shares the talent! I am not a fan of paper removal.
