\"Cats\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tonight I am writing to you from the lobby of an airport hotel in Denver. I had 2 flights canceled today, and I decided to crash at a local hotel and catch an early flight. Oh the joys of travel!<\/p>\n

This week I’d like to share with you the work of quilt artist Naoko Suziki. Every year she exhibits an epic Cat Quilt at the Tokyo Quilt Festival. There are always so many people clustered around her quilts, you can barely take a photo.<\/p>\n

This is her 2016 Cat Quilt – it is titled ‘Together with Mother’. This is a closeup section of the quilt, so you can appreciate the applique and embroidery details in this Mother-and-Kitten quilt.<\/p>\n

What is it about Cats and Quilters<\/a>?<\/p>\n

We just love our kitties, and our beloved kitties love our quilts and our sewing spaces. They jump in our lap when we are trying to sew, they roll around on our quilt tops to show their approval, they sleep in our stash, and they make a special effort to leave their hair on our most important projects.<\/p>\n

And that’s why we love them.<\/p>\n

I’ve included a collage of Cat fabrics<\/a> currently in stock at eQuilter, to keep Naoko’s cats and kittens company.<\/p>\n
