Winter Forest Quilt and an ignored pillow

I'm very glad to be done with this Winter Forest Quilt and I love how it turned out. It took me less than a year to finish which is pretty quick by my standards :)  My Winter Forest Quilt was heavily inspired by this fabulous quilt made by Rita of Red Pepper Quilts.

Another thing I finished last weekend was a small pillow for my cat Tijger.


I used lovely soft and pretty Anna Maria Horner flannel and by adding pom poms to the back and front of the pillow I hoped it somewhat would look like a Flying Carpet. Sadly Tijger decided to ignore the pillow all together after this photo session. Her favourite spot is right next to it on the bare window sill. *sigh*

In other news: currently I'm very busy stitching my upcoming pattern: a collection of (larger) motifs. I'm very excited about it and can't wait to share! In the mean time: don't forget about my Special September Offer. The Tales of the Forest embroidery pattern is only available in the shop this coming week and will retire when September ends.

  1. I thought cats loved pom poms?! Maybe she will warm to it after a while. Or maybe she just hasn't heard who Anna Maria Horner is! Lucky kitty x

    1. Thank you. I'm very much a starter of projects and not so good at finishing so it's a real achievement for me! :)

  4. Love the quilt! I really should do some work on my own first quilt, but every time I go into the sewing room my cat gets upset because I won't let her in (I just know the mischief she would get up to!).

    1. Tijger can get really annoying too when she's with me in the sewing room. But most of the time she just sits there watching me ;)

    1. So true, I should have known better! She sort of half sat on it yesterday so I still have hope... :)

  6. Beautiful quilt! I've been drawn to those same colors in my decorating lately.
    What a familiar and hilarious expression on Tijger's face! Cats really know how to keep our human ego's in check! "Yeah, it's nice, whatever...can I take my nap now?"
    Cheers,
    Michele

    1. She often has this expression on her face. She tolerates us and likes to be near us but is also easily annoyed, especially by the kids haha :)

  7. Just make it clear the pillow is NOT for her...maybe even try to take it away...however she looks to smart to fall for this ploy either :) Good luck! Beautiful stitching!
