A Day of Rest from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We had a day off yesterday. It was a day off except for going to the grocery store. Fortunately our list was short. The grocery store here was so small we were only able to get about half of the items on our list. They didn't have "exotic" things like radishes, and so we'll do a little more grocery shopping in Paducah today. Oh yes, and did I say Paducah? Yes, today is quilt show day. I've been looking forward to attending the quilt show in Paducah for about 16 years...as long ...

Eddyville, Kentucky from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends it's a misty morning here in Eddyville. It's been a while since we saw fog like this. This is what I see through the window as I write.

Backing up to East St. Louis, this was what we saw on our last evening there. The kitties were all about this. There were two rabbits, but one ran away too fast for me to capture him in my picture.

We spent our last morning resting up for the drive...just over 200 miles yesterday. Smitty likes this quilt.

Sadie was gathering the morning rays in ...

QUILTS ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE from Kwilty Pleasures

Quilters have alot to say about GUN VIOLENCE!

They might even protest through their quilting stitches.

A Little Bit of Sewing from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Happily, I got a better night of sleep last night. I was dragging yesterday. After writing my post, I did some slow-stitching, and then slid down on the couch for a morning nap. It was a short nap. We needed to drive into town to run some errands. When we got home, we had some lunch, and then I lay down for another nap. That too was short. The two naps helped me keep my eyes open during the time when I was supposed to be awake. However, they did nothing for my energy level, and ...

Sunday Stash November 12, 2023 from Quilt Paint Create

I went to The Original Sewing & Quilt Expo in Novi, Michigan yesterday. The exhibits were interesting and the vendors varied from the usual quilt show crowd. Many types of vendors were missing though. Not one thread company had a booth.

I didn’t plan to buy anything, even though many vendors had beautiful fabric at deep discount prices. The Quilts of Valor booth got me though. Because they want their quilts to have a patriotic feel, they were selling fabric that didn’t fit colorwise for $1 a bundle/cut. I picked up the check and the neutral bundle first ...

quilt shows from Quilt Nut Creations

We were in our third ever quilt show a few weeks ago.

This was the first show we did, back in October 2022.

April 2023.

I find that by setting up the booth the same way every time makes set up so much easier.

I loved the way our booth was set up this time.

We went with a bigger booth this time and I think that really made a difference.

I felt it really showed the shop.

Here's a quick video.

We are in 6 quilts shows in 2024.

You might be surprised to see where we show ...

A Day's Work from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It's a rainy day here at the Three Cats Ranch. It rained some yesterday too. It makes all of us tired just looking at those gray skies. We're promised a few more sunny days this week, but then I'm afraid the Big Dark will be on us until next spring. Sadie was resting up on the bottom rung of her kitty pole. Apparently she was too exhausted to jump to the top.

Smitty was doing his online banking when he just gave up, closed the lid, and fell asleep.

While they slumbered, I ...

Sierra Gold Quilters Show from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I spent a wonderful, warm fall day with friends and family and traveled to Plymouth, CA for the Sierra Gold Quilters Show. I loved seeing this version of my October Magic pattern! It was so well done, and I loved the colors.

The first booth we saw was the beautiful and colorful booth by Material Girlfriends. We stopped to take a picture with our buddies Carolyn, Lisa, and Laura. Lisa and I worked together at In Between Stitches eons ago and look at us now! Both Lisa, Laura and I are now designers for Marcus Fabrics.

Victoria Quilt Show Part 2 from Quarter-Inch Capers

I know the last pictures I posted from the show were awful, but I spent an evening editing these. I did some cropping and some light adjustments, as I thought the others looked over-exposed because of the too-bright lighting. I will try to pick up where I left off.
