String Block Drive Wrap Up from Kat & Cat Quilts

The last (I think) of the 2022 String Block quilts are all done! Dee, a wonderful longarm quilter I met locally, took the last 7 tops off my hands to quilt.

Dee is excited to practice with her longarm and I am thrilled to have her help! She ended up using this nice wavy design on a lot of the quilts.

Always fun eye-spy on these quilts. I found an octopus and a fox right next to each other.

Our little corner of Texas was square in the path of the eclipse this week and got a full 4 minutes ...

String Block Quilts, 2 Years On from Kat & Cat Quilts

At long last, I think all the quilts from the Jan/Fab 2022 string blocks are done! This isn't the wrap up post, but it should be the second to last batch.

I noticed this little embroidered dragonfly hiding on one of the blocks. Little surprises like that are the best part of scrappy blocks!

All of the quilts in this post were finished by Linda on her long arm. These string blocks would never have gotten done without Linda's help!

String Quilts 11-15 from Kat & Cat Quilts

Happy Friday, Quilters! This week I have five more string quilts to show off. These were sent in during the Jan 2022 string quilt drive. All 5 of these were donated as completed tops and Linda quilted them beautifully on her long arm.

These first 2 quilts with the black sashing were sent in by Beth T. and Linda used awesome custom quilting on them.

The quilts are complimentary but beautifully different. The second quilt with the white thread has different quilted pantos in each string square.

I couldn't get pictures of everything, but I tried to get some ...

With Love, To Long-armers from Kat & Cat Quilts

Another Friday, some more finishes! Courtesy of CiL's devoted long arm quilters.

These were all assembled from blocks donated during the Jan 2022 block drive. The first 5 were assembled and quilted by Linda. I got some close ups to show off the cool pantos she used.

I'm really excited because I met a local long-armer last week who wants to help us out! After talking about things she asked me to bring her the rest of the string tops I have on hand!

It was really a fortuitous meeting. After getting my haircut I decided to visit ...

String and Things from Kat & Cat Quilts

Hello everyone! We're aother week closer to Thanksgiving here in the US. I'll be making a firm stance on the issue of sweet potato pie vs pumpkin. Sweet potato is clearly superior, and if you don't think so you just haven't had a good one yet! ;)

The 4 quilts in this post were assembled and quilted from block drive blocks by Pam M. I have all the blocks from last January's drive assembled into tops but haven't made backings for most of them yet.

I'm afraid CiL is going to have to skip ...
