Happy New Year, Quilters! I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. Today's post is full of quilts that were sent in already finished, Hooray! This one came from loooong time CiL supporter Mina.
We did have at least one quilt handed out on Christmas Day, so special thoughts for that family. Thanks to all of you who make it possible to give people some comfort on one of the worst days of their lives.
These next 2 quilts came from Tina C, she sends in a couple every month or so. We had a lovely Christmas with family in Mississippi. It's been very warm here (high near 80, lows in the 60s) so we had shorts and t-shirts and plenty of time outside.
A friend up the street checked on the kitties for me while I was gone and everyone did well. I have had the kittens for 2.5 weeks now. It only took a few days for them to be tame enough to handle without losing an eye.
Introducing them to my big kitties turned out to be a big step forward. They're instantly more confident when around the big cats. Weirdly, they are dopplegangers of my Fudge and Sundae: an orange tabby boy and a dilute tortie girl.
They both seem to enjoy being held and petted, but they won't willingly come toward me and still run when I move toward them. I am now carrying cat treats in my pocket so I can reward them anytime they come toward me or allow me to approach them.
I'm fairly certain they are old enough for spay/neuter and they are filling out nicely. At the end of this week I will be able to see about scheduling them with the local animal charity group.
This quilt came from Mary and I'm sorry about the terrible color balance! The background is actually white. It has a very cute focal fabric with fairy tale scenes.
Thanks to Mary, Mina, and Tina! Happy New Year everyone!
