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? )

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)

| 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....

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! |
