W.I.P. (Work in Progress) - Tea Towel Quilt

Hootie just enjoyed a lounge on my first ever quilted quilt. I made a small quilt one time for a school project, but I just tied it instead of actually quilting it. Today I just finished quilting this one using a sewing machine equipped with a free motion foot. I brought it home to find some fabric to use as a binding, and Hootie took the opportunity to test its cat-bed capacity. It seemed to satisfy him.

More details when I finish!

Mr. Ugly-Cat Cat Toy

Squishy soft creature + catnip = cat insanity. I made Mr. Ugly-Cat out of half of a fat quarter. I sewed on his felt features with embroidery thread, then stuffed him with a mixture of polyfill and catnip. This combo seemed to do the trick for Fox and Hootie. 

They tried to rip off his soft nose, carried him around by his eyeballs, and attempted to chew through his poor pink body. 

He was like a punching bag for all their kitty anguish and suppressed lion aggression.

 

When they were done with him, they sauntered away to take a dainty bite of their diet hairball control cat food, leaving Mr. Ugly-Cat face down on the floor to gather the remaining shreds of his dignity.
