Dee and Christy

Happy Friday, quilters! And Merry Christmas! I hope this post finds you warm and cozy and well ahead on your shopping and gift wrapping.

This week I have a few quilts to show you that were pieced by Christy, who does the amazing shirtings tops, and then quilted by Dee. I had found some backing fabric with a musical theme, so Dee used a panto to match.

I apologize for how flat and gray the photos of this quilt came out. I have no idea what happened to the light. I promise it's just as pretty as the other one. These masculine red white and blue quilts are always a huge hit.

Things have been busy here. We unexpectedly found two kittens living in our barn last Wednesday. They were very hungry, which made them easy to trap. They're and 4 months old but severely underweight (1.1lb and 2.5lb) and completely feral.

I've been trying to fatten them up and socialize them (guess which one is easier.) They have learned to tolerate me and I can now handle them both safely, but they still don't actually like humans at all. 

They are in LOVE with my big cats. Unfortunately, Sundae and Fudge were raised by humans and have no cat-manners at all. It is slow, but I'm hoping that fudge at least can learn to be friendly with the babies.

I am planning to keep them until they can be spayed/neutered (they are old enough now but too unhealthy) and then find them a home. They probably won't ever be lap cats, but they could be good mousers and farm cats.
