Quilt Decisions

Willow passed out.

My first quilt is badly in need of repairs.

I made this quilt during the last two years of high school, almost (eep) 10 years ago now. The only real course of action, although I don't want to admit it just yet, is to recover it with a new work. The seams just won't hold up to many more washes.

There are so many small pretty pieces of fabric I will miss! Most of the fabrics were from childhood and family clothing.

As I attempted to make some repairs, (before I gave up) Willow tried to 'help' me with the thread. I kept telling her 'I don't need help from little paws!'... eventually she went to sleep wrapped up in part of the quilt. It was adorable but short-lived.

I went thrifting, but didn't find anything I could use immediately. My willpower is getting better -- as that means I didn't buy any fabric at all. (I think I learned my lesson when my fabric stash was destroyed in a basement flooding in Fargo.) I did buy some 1920's booklets of Geometry, Physics and Punctuation. I love old books in readable condition! Each of these were 50 cents.

I's birthday present is pinned together -- but I don't have a backing for it yet. Luckily, she doesn't read this blog ;o)

I think I posted these girl kitties before... maybe, but too cute.
Some great nuigurumi photos, Candlemomo's blog led me to.
To round it off, some knit kitty dolls as well.

I know, photo recycling, but I couldn't resist
