Molly and the Snowball quilt

Molly is dismayed that inappropriate kitten pictures were published without authorization in yesterday's blog.

To prevent such illegal behavior, she has destroyed an offending conduit. This is the second keyboard she has punished.

Oops. This might be another unauthorized photo.

This is an official photo of Molly. It shows her hard at work.

And here is a wider view of the Snowball quilt that my grandmother made. This quilt was made for my aunt Sally (her daughter) and includes some of her childhood dress scraps.

Some of the fabrics, like the one above, look a bit more worn and faded than others. So I'm guessing that this is one of the dress fabrics.

 This is another fabric that I suspect was a dress fabric.

This is the weirdest fabric and I suspect it comes from a flour or sugar sack.

And I love this little novelty fabric. Well, at first I loved it because of the cat playing the violin. But then Molly pointed out that the cat's feet are deformed and that made me feel rather sad. But this definitely looks like many of the available reproduction fabrics.

Oh that silly kitty! So funny. What a job on that quilt with all that hand stitching.

Hmm, that is why I switched to a new wireless keyboard and mouse - our furkids must have the same tastes.

Oh, Molly.... The snowball quilt is gorgeous. I love how women used so many fabrics in quilts during that time period. I think the little kitten in the fabric is wearing shoes (rather than having deformed feet) so you and Molly don't have to feel sad.

I agree with Nancy. It's Puss in Shoes playing the violin with his paws and (apparently) opposable thumbs. No need for sorrow, LOL. Such cute fabric - what a treasure!

Molly and my cats must be related! One of my boys was trying to kill the computer mouse this morning. Luckily he has "Squirrel" syndrome and found something else to attack! If that didn't work, I just used the laser toy to distract them from doing the wrong thing!
Love that fabric in your Aunt Sally's quilt!

Don't you all wish flour came in brightly colored sacks today.

(Psst - wireless keyboard...)
Did Molly try to pin the deed on Buddy?

Cats-can't live with them, can't live without them! Your grandma made a lovely quilt!

Love that quilt, those fabrics are great! Surely the cat is wearing shoes?

That Molly! She is such a stinker.

I could look at those fabrics in the quilt all day but I don't care much for cord munching.
