Whilst it took me a couple of months to embroider the Kitties, Ma was much more efficient and had the Puss in a Corner patchwork blocks whipped up in no time.
How amazing is that?
I LOVE this quilt.
And it’s not even finished yet!
There’s a pink border to add around the edge of the quilt and it will be bound in a floral print.
Thankfully there is no rush as we’ve three other rooms to redecorate before we get to Button’s.
Oh, wow! Between you, you have come up with a beautiful quilt, it can only get better
I think it’s going to be amazing when it’s finished. I hope!
This is beyond awesome! What a gift for your daughter. That her granny and mum have made this for her is amazing.
Thank you. I’m unashamedly pleased with this. Not remotely modest about it. 😉
You know, there are times for modesty and this isn’t one of them!
I think for once I can agree with you!
OH. MY. GOSH. This is the best quilt, EVER. Your daughter is going to be the envy of the neighborhood.
I am very tempted to hang it on the front of the house when it’s finished. 😉
I love it to bits. Where did you find the HK drawings? if it’s incriminating for you to answer *wink* I had a HK with yellow overalls and red bow as a kid and I loved her madly. In fact, if not for the $$$ of the Liberty of London prints, I would be draped in that cat, LOL!
I have to say I was very reluctant when Miss Button fell in love with her, but she’s gradually winning me over! Especially when you can control the kitsch levels!
As for the images…they are all freely available on the interwebs. Just Google “Hello Kitty colouring” and you should get loads. And of course, they’ll be great on anything. You could always trace with fabric pens onto t-shirts, bags……
I must also give a shout out to the lovely q is for quilter who kindly shared some she’d found too for her original inspiration quilt.
Thanks for replying. I actually did a search and O-M-G! HK is everywhere, LOL! My brother just had another son otherwise I would actually attempt a quilt since they live in Canada. (Still downloading the images, you never know!)
Oh you’re welcome. But just a thought…Ma is thinking of making a Lightening McQueen quilt for my great nephew using the same method in red and blue… 😉
I am glad my daughter hasn’t seen this – or I would have a request for one to fit a double bed! I hope your Button knows how lucky she is to get such a special quilt.
Oh she’s terribly blase about the whole thing! Little minx is used to Mummy and Grandma making things for her. 🙂
I love the fact that every square is different. I too would love to know where you got the drawings, though I have a feeling you already told us in an earlier post. Fantastic joint effort by you and Ma!
I love that about it too. The stuff you can buy in the shops is so tacky I couldn’t bear it. This way Button gets her Hello Kitty and I don’t have to look at something hideous every day!
As I mentioned about you can find loads of stuff on the internet.
Such a gorgeous quilt, I know my little girl would love one 🙂
It’s not remotely tricky! Just backstitch, straight lines and plenty of time!
Oh to be 6 years old (or so) again!
I know….lucky thing.
Wow your little big girl is going to want to wear this daily when its done!
Perhaps you need one for your side of the bed 😉
Maybe it will encourage her to go to bed on time…. 😉
Hah! If it does do tell and I’ll make one each for my cherubs.
If it does I’ve found the way to make my millions! 😉
Oh yes. Very true :))
Just amazing! This is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much. I’m loving making it, as is Ma.
