There were a great deal of vendors as well as rescue groups at the national funding feline show last weekend, as well as there were a great deal of gorgeous cats, as well as feline things, to look at, however nothing caught my eye more than this gorgeous quilt.
Created by a volunteer for the Siamese feline Rescue Center, the quilt is an large queen size quilt featuring Siamese cats. All materials are cotton as well as the quilt has a wool batting for warmth as well as breathability. The top was machine pieced as well as hand appliqued. All the quilt stitching is by machine. The borders are a multi-colored cotton batik that will go with almost any type of décor. The quilt stitching on the border features a row of cats with mice playing above as well as below them. The backing material has bare winter trees with snow falling in the background. There is a Siamese feline in every tree.
It’s most likely a great thing this quilt wasn’t for sale, since I totally fell in like with it. The quilt is being raffled off to raise money for the Siamese feline Rescue Center, as well as you, too, can go into to have a possibility at winning this gorgeous quilt. entrances will be accepted up until may 5, 2012. You can purchase raffle tickets online. For more info about the quilt, as well as on exactly how to enter the drawing, please go to the Siamese feline Rescue center website.
I can just photo this quilt on my bed, with the sun highlighting the stunning design, as well as Allegra as well as Ruby peacefully napping on it….. A woman can dream, can’t she?

I’m with Caren – I was all prepared to buy a lot of tickets however since I moved from Maryland to Oregon, I can’t. Phooey! It is an absolutely gorgeous quilt. So I hope you win it, Ingrid, to provide Allegra as well as Ruby a special napping space.

You can get the pattern for the quilt as well as the feline applique at Cottonseed Glory quilt store in Annapolis MD. The pattern is called Those Darn Cats. They likewise offer it as a set with all the materials for the quilt as well as the cats (though the feline materials are different than on this one. The borders are not included.
