Halloween Cats

 Halloween Fun with Cats!

I recently found some patterns, with cats, and knew these would be fun to make for Halloween!

The first project - a Patchsmith Mug Rug called " Moonlit Cat"-

(Do  you see the cat on this cover of  The Patchsmith's book of 10 Halloween and Thanksgiving Mug Rugs? )

Pattern here

My daughter, who has a gray cat named Fritz ( or the little Prince, as I like to call him!), requested that I make her this mug rug, and make the  cat gray in color.
I pulled out some dark blue fabric, for the night sky, and some gold for the big ol' moon.  I got out random red pieces of scraps for the wall.  And I had some scrap Brussels Washer Linen for the body of the cat.

The back side of the mug rug.   I like to use the "back as binding" when I can on a mug rug to keep it flat.

Note:  There's a second black cat applique design included as a bonus in this Patchsmith Halloween/Thanksgiving Mug Rug book!

The second project-  a little stuffed cat called "Scooter Pie"    by Bunny Hill Petite Patterns  (here)

My daughter asked me to make her this  sweet little stuffed cat , in a  Beatrix Potter toile fabric that she found this summer.

The fabric -the 3 Little Kittens and Peter Rabbit

They are a fun little size , of 6 " x 7 ",   and don't take long to make.  I use chop sticks to get the polyfil stuffing moved into the spaces. 


Well,   you know what I "just had " to make next....

These were shipped out to my daughter as a surprise :)

Ok, what do you think I did next?

( I couldn't "not" make this one for my sweet little Whiskers....)

And since it is nearly Halloween....

Hmmm.... where did YOU come from?

They are a cute addition to my handmade Halloween  decorations.

I want to make a Moonlit Cat mug rug for myself soon, too!

I'm off to my sewing room!

 

I have a feeling my Whisker Pie
 will be staying out year-round!
