WT205 Kobys Quilt and blanket

WOW! I had one heck of a day..The phone kept ringing, the doorbell rang, school called, and etc. Why is it when I see a challenge card in the morning, I can never get it down until later. Anyhow, here is my story.

Today's Ways To Use It Challenge was to use Fabric on our cards. I was excited about this one because my son just made a cat quilt for one of my pen pals here on SCS. I had just sealed it up to be mailed. Well, I took my scissors and cut the box to get the quilt out. Warning! Do not try to quilt while you have a cat in the room. She kept taking my chair. This was not the 1st project I had in mind. I actually had made a mini mini quilt to look like my son's quilt. I didn't like the way it came out. So, I decided to just do a card like this. I cut my fabrics to 1 inch squares and glued them onto chipboard. I added a 1/4 inch border around all sides. Trimmed. I attached it to the base of the c/s. I stamped the cat onto watercolor paper. I colored it using prismacolor pencils, odorless mineral spirits, and blending stumps. Heat embossed with clear powder. Cut out. I stamped the cat again, and colored it gray. Cut out. I added a piece of foam tape for a 3D look. It is attached to the quilt with fabric glue. I really didn't want to add any ribbon to this card, so I just used my window punch, eyelets, and hand wrote my friends cat's name. Thank you so much for this challenge. I hope my friend likes it. Do you? Have a wonderful night!

Remember the days that my kids were out of school a couple of weeks ago due to the wicked ice storm? Well, they kinda got tired of the video games and wanted to learn how to sew. Dallas who is 11 wanted to make a cat quilt for a friend of mine on SCS because she just adores her cat Koby. He had already made our cat one.
This quilt is made from Moda cat print fabrics. The blue and the star prints are misc fabrics. He really enjoyed sewing this. Thanks for viewing his quilt.

Dallas had to sew all the squares individually. But I just helped get the points to match. He also did the borders. He even quilted the top, batting, and the bottom together. WOW!

This quilt is called "Sunshine and Shadows". The pattern starts at the top left hand corner.
