Quilting and other Things

I finished the Who will bell the cat? quilt last night. The last parts were adding the bell and quilting cats in the windows. The cat outlines are from Callee perched on the corner of her scratchy post. I printed a line drawing from this picture then traced part onto tracing paper to act as a stitching guide. I still need to add the hanging sleeve and label but the photos and other information for the challenge were submitted last evening. The deadline is Oct 1 so I'm pleased to be a tiny bit early. This is the detail photo Eventually all the submitted quilts will be shown on the challenge pages at QuiltArt The version of the story I worked on is at Project Gutenberg

The mice are finally all stitched. The back window needs to be moved over / made smaller to make room for a photo of the dangerous cat. I'm still not positive how the windows are getting attached. Think I'll go find some dinner and stare at it some more this evening. Below is a detail photo of one of the mice. There is a little bit of pink in every ear. I have a bell on a piece of ribbon. I'm trying to decide if it actually fits in or not. This needs to be finished and photos submitted for Oct 1. I was thinking I wouldn't make it, but today I think I just might. We'll see how things go.
