Old and New Projects

As promised, I have images of my finished projects from last week. First I wanted to talk about my new adventures in volunteering.

I have recently begun training to be an adoption counselor for MEOW Cat Rescue. They are the group I have been fostering kittens for over the past year. Fostering kittens is great but I felt I needed a little more human interaction. This way I get the best of both worlds. People and cats.

I have begun my training and have completed orientation, customer service, and cat handling. The cat handling part can be tough 'cause some cats simply don't want to be "handled". I can't say I blame them. So far I haven't been bitten or scratched in the process. I hope I can maintain my lucky streak. I really love the people at MEOW and I look forward to helping with their mission to help find forever homes for all their kitties.

This is the MEOW logo on the sweatshirt I will wear while volunteering. Cute, huh?!

Now for this week's finished projects:
Here is my wall hanging of the dress quilt.

Here is my completed yellow baby quilt.

Now it's time for me to get busy with some Christmas baking. Thanks for stopping by.

Quilts In Progress

Christmas is all around and yet my latest quilting projects seem to have a springtime theme. Hmm. Is it too soon for Spring fever?

This quilt was still in the piecing stage on my design wall last week. It is now pinned into its quilt sandwich and ready to be quilted on my machine.

This little dress is part of a wall hanging I'm working on. I purchased the pattern at the Etsy website. It is designed by Charise Creates. I really love the pattern paper background fabric and the measuring tape border fabric. I am still working on the blocks that will go around the edge.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope to have more completed projects to share with you next week.

My Sewing Studio

This is my sewing studio. I am always curious to see other quilter's work spaces so I thought I would share mine. I am especially proud of the design wall that allows me to lay out my work before sewing and see if I like the fabric placement. It's really just a flannel backed tablecloth that is hung on the wall with push pins. So easy! It's much better than a bed or the floor, which is how I used to lay out my quilts prior to sewing.

The room is a little sparse since it very recently was used to house batches of foster kittens for a rescue group I work with in Kirkland. I'm proud to say we helped 16 kittens (and mom cats) get healthy and ready for adoption over the past year. I am sorry to see the kitties go, but I'm glad to have the room back.

Thanks for stopping by.
