Today is my day of the Bowls with Borders Blog Hop. Like several quilters, I have cats. Do your cats always seem to jump up on your cutting table as soon as you have the blade guard down on your rotary cutter? Mine do. For some reason, my cats seemed particularly interested in this paper pieced bowls project while I was working on it. Thus the inspiration for Double Troub-bowl.
This paper pieced and applique mini is 10 x 13 inches. The pattern is from the very talented
Regina Grewe.
Bubba approves!

Oh come on! How cute is that! I will now be singing the song from Lady and the Trap. "We are Siamese if you Please"!! You did an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!! Love the colours!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. Super cute! I loved it! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! The cats should be in there. My cat always helps with all my quilting. She sits on my lap while hand quilting (underneath the hoop). She seems partial to cutting too, or maybe not as she tends to sit on the fabric....
ReplyDeleteSo good. And so cute. Even though I don't like cats, I love your bowls with cats. Thanks for showing us.
ReplyDeleteGreat bowls, love that you have added the cats. It appears that we all have a cat that thinks they wants to be right in the middle of things. Thanks for being part of the hop.
ReplyDeleteIt is so cute with the cats.I am not a cat person, but the cats are so awesome together with the bowls.
ReplyDeleteI love your little wall quilt.
ohhh it's gorgeous, yes my cat's are just the same, usually sitting on the fabric, the quilt frame with a quilt on it or on my cushions !!!
ReplyDeleteA cat lovers piece in modern style - very intricate use of the fuzzy cut cats. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to have such great cats. Love the addition of them to your bowl block. Great work.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and I absolutely love your quilting on that! I can see the influence of the Modern Quilt movement in the way you have put it all together. Even like the addtion of the cats (tho I'm a dog person). Sometimes I let my dog up into my sewing room, but I am pretty confident she wouldn't hop up on my cutting table - whew!
ReplyDeleteOh you raided my stash - I see lots of my fabrics in this little piece! Yes, my furries like the rotary - and must lay on the cutting mat while I use it - that's why I got a 'king' size mat. Love the added furs to the bowls, very cute idea. Thank you for sharing with us today.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a cat, I know exactly what you mean, cats adore quilts!

I can picture my cat in the bowls getting ready to topple them all over!

ReplyDeleteLove your bowls! Love your cats! My cats have beds in my sewing room (so they can keep out of my way)and I had to get a new sewing chair (smaller so they would not be able to squeeze in beside me and lie all over me while I sewed)!
ReplyDeleteWonderful adaptation!! and I love your wonky quilting! Just like coloring outside the lines!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Patricia...how you found some fabric to add that matches your cat, I will never know, but everything about your choices of fabrics, detail in your quilting your cats strategically placed..wellllll I think, yes I think, you may have to take a peak .....

First let me say, beautiful bowls. Congratulations on being the chosen one. My cat, if you seen my blog, she is 11 years old and fat. So she does not jump that high anymore unless there is a treat up there for her. Guess that is why she is so fat...anyway, she is there at my feet, on in her bed in my room. Thank you for sharing. Your cats are adorable.
