Designer Cat


I have been itching to make some bunting for a while now. Luckily my daughter, who is eight, fancied some for above her bed. Phew I've got that out of my system at last!















I have been thinking about making another quilt from vintage scraps in blue and white linens and cottons which I have been collecting for a while. Smartie has designed the pattern....













Such a proud cat. He should wear a pencil behind his ear!



















Here is one of the fabrics I shall be using in the quilt - it's by Vanessa Arbuthnott who's catalogue I regularly lust my way through. I bought this piece from eBay.

  4. ooh, that bunting is gorgeous! I know some small people who would love some :) I made bunting a couple of years ago, and hung it around the vegetable patch. It looked beautiful, but is now very tatty.
