A Start and a Finish

A new start for a cat .....meet Buddy......

 I picked him up after work today.   He is lovable, friendly, playful and very curious.   I kind of fear what I may discover he has been into while I am at work tomorrow.   





It didn't take long for him to make himself at home.


 And a finish.   This is my class piece from the class with Jeannette Douglas 
Sturbridge in July of this year.  There is not one part of this I didn't enjoy doing.

I like how the color changes in the red stripes.

The top and bottom matching rows and bunting were fun to do.   

This section reminded me of a quilt block and was much easier than I thought it would be.

Love, love, love the white pinwheels.   They don't show up too well in the photo.

Closer view of the bunting.

It is great to finish a class piece.  Heaven knows I have a few class pieces the 
remain to be completed.  Grace Mason awaits my return.   But first off to my stash 
pile to pick out something small to start as my take along stitchery piece.

    OMG I looove your finish! What a gorgeous piece of Americana, and I agree that the entire design is so fun! I love the bunting to bits, and the pinwheels are so much fun...this will be a treasure for years to come...great job girlfriend! I am 1/4 of the way thru my Victoria Sampler class piece and I did that one online almost a year ago...oy lol.

  8. Buddy looks like a sweet little fellow! I think cats must be very adaptable. The ones we've adopted or been given, have always walked right in the house like they own it, and proceeded to make themselves right at home. :) Beautiful finish - I love to see different stitches!
