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.
