Calico cat claiming her favorite quilt block before the Beads quilt was stitched together.
Happy #Caturday ! She’s picking out her favorite quilt block before it all was stitched together.
This is the Beads pattern by Donna Jordan available for free over on the Jordan Fabrics site. Her YouTube tutorials convinced me even I could learn to quilt. ❤️

Lou, the brown tabby cat, sits at the center of a patchwork lone star quilt in hues of purple, teal, lavender, and blue. She is sticking out her tongue and looking adorable, as usual.

Buddy, a fluffy 3legged black cat sits on the brightly colored Sonne quilt blocks being organized on the floor. He stares into the camera with this big green eyes.
Lucky Black Cat Friday to you! Buddy was persistent in being present while we laid out these Sonne quilt blocks on the floor, determining the best layout. These are old batik strike-off samples

Blocks laid out on the wood floor to set the pattern for sewing, but orange kitty Marmalade wanted to join the party and disturbed the layout just a bit. But she is so cute as she looks up at the camera! The Cubicle blocks are colorful 16-patch blocks finishing at 8” each
Marmalade on “Cubicle” quilt, named to honor all the shirts that lived lives in dreary office cubicles prior to becoming a joyful and colorful quilt.

A fluffy 3 legged black cat looks into the camera while casually lounging outstretched on a series of quilt blocks set up on the wood floor. The quilt being worked on is Placket, made from printed shirts. Colorful polkadots in pinks, greens, reds, and checkers in olives, neon orange, purple, and some striped of purples and greens. The quilt pattern is sometimes called Jacob’s Ladder.
Happy Black Cat Friday! We see lots of black cats out here with us. Wanna share yours with us?

Marmalade an orange tabby cat proudly sits on the Juki sewing machine extension table, her tail neatly tucked around her front paws. Behind her on the right are flat files mounted on top with a small table top etching press. Behind her is a wall of shelves in studio packed with supplies.
Cats love our studios! They love to be where we are and curious about what we are focused on, right? This is Marmalade. Do you have a furry studio mate? #catsandquilts #jukisewingmachine #studiocats #thereprintery

Rhoda: Clearly taking after me as she rests on her throne of quilting fabric. #RhodaTheCat #CatsAndQuilts
My favorite picture of #RhodaTheCat: One single quilt block fell off the wall and she did the obligatory cat thing and sat on it.

Buddy is a black, medium hair cat w three legs. He lounges on loose quilt blocks that we have organized on a wood floor for layout options. This is a quilt block known as several names, one well-known one being Jacob’s Ladder. The fabric used are men’s Workshirts, and they are printed w polka dots, stripes and checks. The colors are bright and cheerful, pinks, yellow, orange, green, olive, lavender, red, dark purple. As Buddy took his spot to relax, as cats do on our work surfaces, he has messed up the organization of the blocks but gazes right into the camera knowing he looks cute and will never get into trouble.
Marmalade a small orange kitten in this photo, crouches on the Cubicle quilt blocks laid out on the floor. She has messed up some blocks as she jumped to this spot. The blocks finish 8” square, made up of (16) 2.5” fabric squares. And are a combination of woven stripes, plaids and chambray. This quilt shares the same printed shirts as the other quilt, but uniquely has the chambray printed blocks too.
Cats and quilts! Buddy on the “Placket” quilt and Marmalade helping with “Cubicle”, both from the Work Shirts Reworked series we showed at Portland Textile Month in 2023

Sunflowers forever 🌻🌻🌻
(My quilts are always in the wrong season. Been working on this one since January and am finally (finally!) piecing the rows together.)

A patchwork quilt featuring nine ghosts (sewn with low volume white fabrics) and a background made of orange, pink, green, purple and black squares. A ginger cat is sitting in the bottom left corner staring up at the photographer (who still hasn’t learned how to properly photograph quilts).
A ginger cat snatching black fabric with her right paw, preventing the quilter from properly measuring it.
Boo.
Finally finished this Halloween quilt top. Cheese had lots of opinions while I was measuring the back, but we finally settled on a fabric we’re both happy about. #amquilting #catsandquilts
