My Eight Kats

Seven black PatchKats bring me up to date on that project.  

And of course the real thing who responds to bad weather by curling up and sleeping.

I finished my table cover/lap quilt, the four-patch and checkerboard quilt.  And I had a "duh" moment when I put it on the sofa for the picture and realized that I had made pillows a few years ago for the summer with the same fabric.

Would you care to see the backing?  

Brown roses on green; I must have liked it when I bought it.  

A couple of Thank You's are due.  The first to Quiltmaker magazine and Karen of Easypatchwork.  Karen has a block in Vol. 11 of 100 Blocks, and I won an issue and a group of her designs during a recent promo.  Her block is Gristmill Star.

Thank you, Karen.  I hope to put together Autumn at the Peaks next season.

The second Thank You goes to Sarah of Confessions of a Fabric Addict, who hosts the Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge each year.  I won a copy of Rebecca Bryan's book, Modern Rainbow.  

There are some beautiful designs in this book, even for someone who is a non-modern,  traditional quilt lover.  Could that be me? ;-)  I do love the use of the rainbow colors against white or black.  That has a nice look.

Happy Father's Day to those who deserve it.

God Bless and have a wonderful week.
