Paint splattered cats

Today I made a pillowcase out of the paint splatter cats. The pillowcase is folded up and that is why the band looks extra large. In any case, the message is clear. Cats drive a person to drink.

When I applique, I like to use the bobbins stored in the donuts by Superior thread. But sometimes I forget to put the bobbin back in the donut immediately. Buddy will then grab the bobbin and try to chew it to bits. Now, of course, we have advanced our game. So yesterday he grabbed the bobbin and ran across the house and under a bed. However, he is easy to distract with another toy, so I rescued the teal bobbin in time.

I also made a vintage butterfly block. The strips are 1.5 cut and one inch finished. Each butterfly is 3 inches finished and each block is 9 inches finished.

Are those cats drinking martinis? Does that keep them from racing around the house in the middle of the night?

I don't know what to say about the cat fabric, but I can imagine your delight when you saw it for sale.

I am not sure if it is spooky or appropriate to be that the butterfly wings have cats eyes in them!

When I need to distract my cats from something they aren't supposed to have, I pull out the laser light and dance it around the room a few times. When I turn it off they sit there and try to figure out where it went. By then they have forgotten what it was they were getting into in the first place!
I LOVE that cat fabric! And the pillow case is adorable!!!

I'll drink to that. Or maybe I'll sleep on it.

I've heard of cat's eye marbles but cat's eye butterflies is a first. Will wonders ever cease?

That is one wild pillowcase. Simply delightful. I guess us feline owned makers all have similar issues with our owners. One of my owners use to eat straight pins, robber bands & thread. I need to costantly watch him.
