CATS IN PAJAMAS DONE

 I made the orange binding for the Cats in Pajamas quilt and sewed it on.  This is an Elizabeth Hartman pattern.

It's done!

CATS IN PAJAMAS IS QUILTED

 I got the rest of the Cats In Pajamas quilt quilted.

It's off the machine.

STARTED IN ON THE PAJAMA CATS

 I loaded the Cats in Pajamas quilt onto the longarm, set up the program and started quilting.  

I got the first row done.

I wasn't sure about whether I should just quilt this design in the background, going around the cats.  But, in the end, I went with the allover.

KITTIES! AND COLORS!

 I got those first three cats I started for Cats in Pajamas done, finally.  There was some unsewing and changing of the background color, some resewing, some cussing and more unsewing and resewing.

But, these three are done.  Six more to go.

Pantone announced the Color of the Year for 2024 - it's Peach Fuzz.

And, Kona announced it's Color of the Year for 2024 - it's Julep.

Please, oh please, let's not go back to pastels!

SOMETHING EASY

 In response to the angst of putting together the 30 Minutes of Play improv quilt, I bought Elizabeth Hartman's newest pattern Cats in Pajamas.  It will be something easy to do.

Sometimes I think I've lost my mind.

I'm waiting on a delivery for the background fabric.  But, I did find some wonderfully colorful plaids and stripes in my stash that I'll use as the pajamas.
