It was a fun-filled Saturday for those who attended the Pussy Willow Gang appliqué class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. The women made such cute cats and they called out to be shared. Above is Julie’s cat, waiting to be sewed onto the background.
Above Yvonne is applying starch to the edges of the fabric that extend from the template.
Julie uses a stiletto to pull the fabric around the template as she applies a hot iron to get that crisp crease.
Barb’s cat is ready for the templates to be removed so the pieces can be arranged and glued to the background for final sewing.
Yvonne glues down the pieces of her cat to make an easy-to-take anywhere hand sewing project.
Barb’s cat is now glued to the background and ready sewing.
Lee Ann’s cat just needs it whiskers and it will be perfect!

Several people have asked “what is the discount” on fabrics at the Annual Christmas in July PJ Sale. Chris said that is a surprise! She said that people should come early, because the earlier you come the better the discount. Also, remember that you receive a special gift during the first hour of the sale, but only if you have your PJ’s on.

Have you ever heard of making a purse out of a book? Check out Make A Purse Book and see how it's done. Interesting! Bet that teenager would love it.

I'm happy to report I finished the applique part last night while watching TV (maybe we should rename that "boob tube" to the "UFO companion"). Pooch, my cat will get her very own pillow cover soon! Yes, my cat is named Pooch....but that's another story.
How many companies have a sale and say "it will be a surprise"? How can I know if it would be worth the 1.5 hour trip to get there? This is unusual to say the least.
Hey, Anonymous, I agree with you, but I'm not the owner of the shop. Call Chris and tell her. The phone number is on the blog.
Those cats are so cute!
Hi, where can I get the pattern for that kitty applique? So cute!
Kylie, you are a no-reply on your e-mail, so I'll tell you here. This cat pattern is called The Pussy Willow Gang and is from Pam Bono Designs. Her website is www.pambonodesigns.com
Enjoy!
Hi Caroll. Not sure what you mean by a "no-reply" on my email. I never actually got an email from you to reply to... Thank you for the information on the pattern anyway. Cheers, Kylie.
Hi again! I also have comments on my posts, forwarded to my e-mail address. I think it's the same for all blogger users. I don't have an email address on my profile though as I like to discourage spam. I do have one on my blog's "contact me" page though.
I was taking another look at your site the other day and love your little witchy feet. Very cute and a great tutorial for needleturn applique. I've never tried the freezer paper method before and might just give it a go.
Cheers, Kylie.
