The Cat's Whiskers

It had been awhile since I made a pillow for myself... so when Janeen, of Quilt Art Designs, asked me to sew up her cute cat block for the issue 9  of  "Paper Piecing 1/4" " digital magazine, I immediately knew I would make this block into a pillow.


Pattern-   The Cat's Whiskers     design by Janeen @ Quilt Art Designs

Size:    14 inch finished   paper pieced foundation

This is the design... with the pieces of the block before they were sewn together. I did make some changes in the colors , to look more like my Whiskers.

Here is my model:     Whiskers


Whiskers and her look alike pillow


I love the details on the face of this sweet cat pattern ...  of course I had to include embroidered whiskers.   Our Whiskers looks at Daddy like this when she wants him to give her some treats!



"Pleeeeeeaaaase, Daddy.... can I have some treats?"

Our little kitty may be small, but she is full of energy and  is very playful.  So I made the back of the pillow to match her personality....










I really love how my Cat's Whiskers pillow turned out.  
I think a pet pillow is a fun gift idea  .... check out the other pet patterns in this issue 9-
