Pets On Quilts Show


Today begins the Pets on Quilts show over at Snoodles a.k.a Lilypad Quilting.  Pets on a quilt, quilts with animal themes, etc...  I know you have to have something to share.


My fur babies just did not want to co-operate on this.  I trained them too well I guess as they are not allowed on any quilts.  I put quilts on the couch, beds, opened rooms they aren't allowed into to spread out quilts, quilts on chairs.  NOPE!  As soon as that quilt came off the couch and I threw that blush 'horse' blanket on it - boom - there they were.  Bella having a 'preening' and Moe out like a light.

Other Catagory

So I have a stand-in.  One of my chain-saw bears with my 'Bear in the Woods' quilt (see the bears in the triangles?) that was done for the Sliced Apples Quilt Along.  Not quilted yet as it is "in line" on the pile and I have a nice chocolate brown blushy with bear paw prints in mocha for the backing.  I don't think I will use any batt as the blushy is really thick - a new process for me.

Be sure to hop over with Paddington to see all the entrants.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

**I will be vending for the next 4 days, so will try to reply to comments each night**

Thanks for the shout out, Sharon! Love your kitties....they are exceedingly well behaved! Moses will just nap wherever he wants to, and when he hears me coming down the hall, he jumps down and plays innocent! Thanks for joining in the fun - and hope vending goes well!

Lesley said...

Didn't want to play along. That is so typical of cats. Don't you just love them : )

My cats are always on a quilt until I want them to be to take a picture, although Muffin did cooperate one time!

Needled Mom said...

Ha....they are well trained to stay off the quilts. The quilt is beautiful with the bear!

Gotta love a bear quilt! Looks great even before it's finished! :)

You can lead a cat to a quilt but you can't make him sit...

Great photo of your cats at the top of your post. I don't think that there would be anyway to keep Mars off my quilts- she really does think they are hers to check out.
Thanks for participating in the blog hop.

Too funny! My Angus is the same way. EVen if I have a big quilt out on the floor, he will prance around it! The border really sets the quilt off! I love piano key borders!

Laurie in Maine said...

Trained pets? What a concept!! Need to know the secret :) Jax is on a 5 minute delay responding to anything other than bribery (food!).

Dana Gaffney said...

I love your pile of fur babies and lucky you they don't mess with your quilts. That quilt is beautiful, I love the color scheme. Thanks.

Joanna said...

So funny. Bella and Moe like their horse blanket and that's that. Now what category is the chain saw bear going in:) The quilt, of course, is beautiful.

Michelle May-The Raspberry Rabbits said...

I love your fuzzy critters and the wood one too!

SpartanBabe said...

My cat is similar to that. She won't lay on a quilt unless it isn't for her! Or I put it in an inconvenient spot like my sewing chair.

Cyn said...

Super quilt. Love it. Your 'stand in' did a good job! lol.

Mina said...

Wow, you did a great job training your cats!

Stray Stitches (Linda G) said...

Cats can be so temperamental with it comes to photos - lol. Love your quilt and your bear is the perfect stand-in. Good luck with your vending!!

Marianne said...

"I trained them too well I guess as they are not allowed on any quilts."

I protest on behalf of your cats. Meanie! (LOL)

sew.darn.quilt said...

Too funny, how do they seem to know? Love your quilts

heartsease54 said...

I can't seem to train my pets to do anything they don't want to do in the first place! If there is a quilt around to lay on, there they are. Love the quilt.

Karin said...

Yes, cats and posing...that is just not going to happen. Your quilt is very pretty.

Teje Karjalainen said...

Hi! Wonderful quilt! Wow, you have trained your cats so well! x Teje

Michele said...

Hehehe. I guess your fur babies don't want to get in trouble even if you were giving them permission.

Michele T said...

Too funny!!! Thanks for my morning chuckle about your fur babies. I love your quilt!

Connie Kresin Campbell said...

Beautiful quilt and kitties! Sharon, you have to come to my house and train my kitties!!

Sandra Wyman said...

What well-behaved (and beautiful) cats. No need to reply but thatnks for your comments on Django

Kruse Kats said...

What slackers! At least pose and let a little tail fur brush off on the quilt! MOL! great quilt, too.

QuiltSue said...

Well your stand-in pet did a great job of modelling for you.

Thanks for the chuckle. I wish my fur buddy were as well trained as yours are. Lovely quilts.

Nice! I like the "nature"-colors of this quilt.

For the pure whimsy of the stand in, this is a favorite post.

Mhairi said...

Love this but is this in the cat category or other??
Love your quilt and your cat stand-in.

Michelle said...

You'd think cats would be easier than bees -- wish I could get my daughter's cat that well trained! :-)

Junebug613 said...

Ha ha ha!! Cats being true to their nature. Uncooperative! Lovely quilt and lovely cats!
