Quilters Meet & Greet

Welcome to Cat Patches' Quilters Meet & Greet.

We're Smitty and Sadie, your Meet & Greet catbassadors:

Our mom writes this blog...sometimes. Sometimes we take over and write it ourselves. It's the only way to get things done right, if you know what we mean. She's been writing it for eight years...longer than we've even been alive! So here's what goes on at the Three Cats Ranch. That's where we live...only there are just the two of us. Don't ask us why it still has that name. We're confused too.

Our mom makes quilts. She makes all kinds of quilts. She likes to hand embroider with her weird looking paws:

She likes quilts of all kinds. Sometimes she cuts her fabric up into itty bitty pieces and then sews it back together. Don't ask us why.

Sometimes she likes to do applique.

Sometimes she does these weird art quilts from her own photographs. Here's one she did just a couple of months ago. She still has to quilt it. That'll be something to see.

She likes cats a LOT. And she likes quilting a LOT. Sometimes she can't decide which she likes best, and so she makes cat quilts. These are the ones she made of us.

And then other times, she likes to do things in the kitchen. Oh, yes. Purrdon our manners, but we almost forgot. Help yourself to a cookie.

She bakes sweet things all the time. She's especially fond of little pies for two.

Then she whines about how she isn't losing any weight on her diet. And then she decides to bake bread...multigrain, so no calories. Ha! As if.

And she likes to work in her garden too...we help sometimes.

Right now she's growing sunflowers

and tomatoes.

She cans pretty much everything that grows.

And here's a warning...Keep yourself moving while you're here, or you might end up in a jar.

She takes lots of pictures of virtually everything. Her favorite pictures are of flowers and prairie dogs. She can snap off hundreds of pictures in just a few minutes! We'd show you all of them, but really, you probably want to get on with your life at some point, don't you? But since you asked, here are a few of her faves.

And she likes to travel in an RV with our dad. They went on a trip around the perimeter of the good old USA last year. They drove 19,000 miles. My mom's favorite part of the whole trip was seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time. There, they took the requisite and shameless selfie.

Good grief. That's our dad. They've been married 43 years. They are so old.

Oh yes...and they made us come along. We don't like traveling, but they miss us when they're gone, so we go...reluctantly. It's one of our most impurrtant jobs...keeping the old folks from getting lonesome. We have a catio that hangs on the side of the RV so we can get outside sometimes.

So that's kind of a cats' eye view of what goes on here at the Three Cats Ranch. If you read regularly, you purrobably already knew all that. And if you don't...well come on over and follow along on our travels. There's never a dull moment. Check up there on the left side bar, and you'll find lots of ways to come along.

Right now, head on back to Benita Skinner's Creative Space to meet some other quilters. And don't forget to click below to be entered in the drawing for the Great Grand Prize.
