All pretty, but how I love "There's no room for me"! Were any of these quilts lost in the fire? I hope not!

I LOVE the one with the animals on it - but I bet it would freak my real cats out if they jumped up on it! It would be fun just to torture them!

I love the ones with the cats on it. Colleen

I had not seen "No Room For Me". I love it. How did you do the fish fins? They look transparent.

These four quilts are safe in the kid's houses.

The fish fins were embroidered with a satin stitch using verigated thread. I traced them on Sulky Solvy and did free motion. Bubu, the white fish, also has a gauzy fabric. I added SIL's fish because his side of the quilt was so empty. All the animals are/were their pets since they got married. They are on the quilt where they sleep/slept in real life on DD's side.

The two cats are Mama's kittens. Samson was a toy poodle. He slept in a small house made especially for him and the door had to be closed before he'd go to sleep. The other animals that are together were buddies.

I paper pieced the body of the gray cat that is with Samson to get the tiger look & appliquéd the detail on the face. That was way too much work for me so I pieced the rest with a blanket stitch and then did thread painting for the dog hair. The cats & dogs have name tags. They & the fish are trapunto-ed

Great quilts!!! I love how you personalized them....and, I'm glad they were not in the fire.

Oh, that one with the pets on the quilt - so clever!! I'm so glad those quilts still exist!

Thanks for the story behind the quilt. That is very creative of you.

How clever and creative you are. Love those appliqued pets. They would never need to be let out.

Absolutely amazing applique!!! I love all of them, but the Log Cabin is my favorite.
And then I look again at the Tumbling Blocks!!!!Rosa
