A happy event happened this month. Quiltfolk, the community-supported print-only quarterly magazine focused on quilt history and quilt culture in America, published a special edition devoted to CATS. Cat quilts, real cats on quilts, and stories about quilts and cats. What could be more interesting?!
Quiltfolk Issue #26 featured quilts in Mississippi and my Elizabeth was lucky to appear there. My quilt "The Window Watchers" is on page 104 of the Cats issue. I took a photo of all three cats on a table looking out the window and made a collage quilt with it as inspiration. The quilt was started in a week-long class with Susan Carlson in Portland, Maine, in 2017 where I learned her method of quilt collage. This began my love of Susan's techniques, followed by several more collage quilts. Pictured below is the next cat quilt, "The Conversation."
Quiltfolk will honor a 20% discount on this CAT issue through December 31, 2025, if you use the code QFCats2025. Treat yourself! You will enjoy 124 pages of pure cattitude featuring stories from quilters whose lives--and creative practices--are entangled with cats.

We finished and gave to Forrest General several more covers for their Giraffe isolette beds in the NICU.
