Pastel Kitty Quilt

Here is another #Children's Quilt or I should say "young lady's quilt". It was made by Julia, a very special granddaughter of a favorite neighbor and quilting friend.

She chose this lovely pastel pallet to match her new bedroom design and with the encouragement of her Nona pieced purrrfect points on the kitty's ears.             Great job Julia!

Denise quilted this quilt for Julia, because she didn't have time to do it herself, before she went back to school. She quilted her first quilt on the APQS longarm machine along with our granddaughter Carrie several years ago. We pinned one large backing fabric on the frame then layered polyester batting with two small wholecloth Noah's Ark scenes on top. The girls took turns quilting them with puffy clouds and outlined animals. When they finished one row they rolled the two quilts and then quilted straight across, then rolled again. When they were finished they cut the two quilts apart. They were very proud to donate their finished product to our local quilt group The Tuesday Stitchers. The quilts where then donated to our local Caring Cabin. This is an organization that provides retreat facilities for families of children who are receiving cancer treatment. Its a great place for them to rest and recuperate. The Tuesday Stitchers are always happy to stitch with grandchildren of members who come to visit during the summer. It's fun to watch their skills grow.
