Mod Valentine Quilt Pattern

The Mod Meow cats are back and with a valentine flair!

This fun feline Valentine Quilt measures 72″ square and the blocks measure 16″. This pattern is 2 1/2″ x WOF strip friendly!

The pattern includes all the cat images for appliqué. I used Heat n Bond Lite and machine appliquéd the cats.

You can purchase the pattern in my Etsy shop by clicking HERE.

It’s 100% Mufasa approved

RBD Block Challenge 2022

It’s my turn for the Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge! I’ve designed a fun block for you! Have you been following along? Every week a new block pattern is released.

My block is called the Lynx block and it uses an easy piece method so it sews up fast!

I used Mod Meow to make my block and Mufasa oversaw the whole process. He put is paw print of approval on it!

Here is a link to all the info for the blocks and the mystery quilt.

Here is a link to all the You Tube videos from the past blocks.

Have fun sewing along and make sure to tag me on Instagram!!

Follow the Bluebird

Riley Blake Designs has just released a new fabric collection called Hush Hush. It is made up of 21 different low volume fabrics created and designed by 21 different designers! This collection is a must for your low volume stash!

Of course my fabric involves cats! Ella and I worked on this print together and came up with a sweet drawing of a kitty surrounded by little hand drawn hearts. I love it so much!

Riley Blake Designes has released 3 bluebird quilt block designs and challenged the designers to create a project using the Hush Hush collection and a bluebird. So fun right? You can find all the info and the patterns HERE.

You can make a paper pieced or traditional pieced bluebird or an appliqué one. I choose the appliqué method since the quilt involves some appliqué. And I always use Heat n Bond Lite and machine appliqué in a straight stitch repeated a few times – I like fast!

My project of course involved cats! Because you can’t have birds without cats!

I used my Mod Meow quilt pattern and made only 1 of the cat posts in the pattern. I appliquéd 3 kitties from the Mod Meow fabric panel and 1 little bluebird at the top. I love it so much! For the background fabric I used my print from the Hush Hush collection and the pink hearts match the Mod Meow pink so purrrrfectly!

If you want to make a single cat post quilt like I did here are a few things to know – I shortened the “post” part a few inches since it didn’t have to fit next to anything. I added an inner low volume border cut 2.5″ wide, a teal middle border cut 2″ wide, and a low volume outer border cut 2.5″ wide. Then I used blue binding cut on the bias. You can find the Mod Meow pattern in my Etsy shop in PDF or paper. The cat panel is sold seperately.

Seriously this make me smile every time I walk by it!

Mufasa totally approves. He prefers the quilt as a table runner instead of a wall hanging so he can lay on it – it’s a cat thing 🙂

Self Pawtrait Softie

If you know me you know I love cats! So when my friend Pam from Pammie Jane wrote a sewing book all about cats I had to get my paws on it! You will love every project in her book – from quilts to zipper pouches to pillows – there is something for every cat lover! And her photography is amazing!!

I made this fun little kitty softie and I love the creativity of adding a Dresden Plate to the side of the cat! Brilliant!

I made my kitty with Mod Meow fabrics and Riley Blake charcoal linen. I was thinking this kitty would be super cute in black velvet and halloween colors for the Dresden Plate!

Mufasa is thrilled to have another cat around the house!

I just keep thinking how cute these kitties would be for all seasons and holidays! What if you turned the Dresden Plate into a sunflower!! So many fun paw-sibilities!!

Mod Christmas Quilt

I’m super excited about this quilt! I love that my Mod Meow fabric collection by Riley Blake Designs totally works for Christmas! I love using pink and aqua in my retro Christmas decorating.

These mischievous retro felines totally belong in this Christmas quilt – they are batting the ornaments, climbing the tree, and wrestling in the presents! Cats and Christmas – it’s the best!

The quilt measures 70″ x 70″ and it has 9 blocks that finish at 16″ x 16″. You can purchase the PDF pattern in my Etsy shop, click HERE.

You will need to purchase the Mod Meow Cat Panel to complete this quilt. The cats are appliquéd onto the quilt and machine stitched.

The panels will be hitting shops the first week of August – so you can totally get started on the quilt and then the cats will be available!

July is the purrrrfect time to get a jump on your holiday sewing!!!
