Vale Laurel Burch

World renowned artist and designer, Laurel Burch passed away on Thursday Sept 13. http://www.marinij.com/marin/ci_6923487
Her fabrics, bags, scarves and art bring magic and delight into lives all over the world. Her spirit is embedded into the creatures and colours that she created. She was a favourite designer of mine and I have bought and loved her fabric since I started quilting. One of my favourite quilts was made with her colourful feline prints.
Here is the link to her official website. Enjoy.

Funky Cats Rule

I finally finished one of my WIPs this weekend. I started "Funky Cats Rule" last year, and this weekend, I stitched the binding on and made and attached the label. This strippy quilt was based on one that Debbie at Hobbysew made, although I didn't use all the prints she did, and I made a few other changes. I used Laurel Birch fabrics as well as some yellow chenille and bright pink, wide ric rac. I love the brightness of this quilt!

I will take photos tomorrow (in better light) and post them tomorrow night.

This is the label I made. I scanned a piece of fabric onto the computer to get the images of the cats, composed my label, then printed it off onto fabric and stitched it to the quilt.
