road 2 the zoo?

Today at Road, Annika chose her favorite quilt, which was of course a cat quilt! =(^_^)=
This is Dave’s Cat Quilt, made and quilted by Trudy Smith. While we were admiring the kitties, Trudy herself came by to say hello. I love it when I get to meet the actual quilters of the quilts at shows. It’s just like a mini show and share where you get to hear the inside scoop! Annika confided in Trudy that she was collecting cat fabric to make a cat quilt of her own.
I like this kitty the best. It’s like he’s reaching for the stars!

Everyone couldn’t help admiring Last Dance in the Arctic made and quilted by Kathy McNeil. Her artist’s statement read, “This grand old mother asks for your help as her life and children literally melt away.”
A closer look at the bear cub.

At first glance, Rhapsody at First Light made and quilted by Bonnie Keller is not an animal quilt at all…
but if you look closely you can find animals hiding in the exquisite machine quilting. Stay tuned for Road to California, chapter 3!

happy quilting! =(^_^)=

  1. Love the cat quilt. Do you know if that is her original design? Just curious. I saw a crayon cat quilt at a show last week that was interesting, too.
