So Mote it Be

I made a couple of quilts as gifts over the past few months and I want to catch you up.  So mote it be.

One was for our dear friends Emily and Neal, who recently got married!  They are involved in cat rescue, so this pattern was a pretty easy pick.  It was super fun to see all the different cats I could make.

Then I added a cat border. So mote it be.

And I quilted their names and wedding date in the borders. Then I boxed it up and sent it on its merry way! Just look at those cute little mice on the backing fabric.

Congratulations Emily and Neal!

In other news, our friend and realtor Clarity took amazing care of us when we bought and sold our house and we were no treat. Trust me. We were a pain. So I wanted to make a special thank you quilt for her.

I started by free motion quilting some metallic gold thread on a black background.

I added some appliqué

and I backed it with the reverse of an orange fabric from my stash.

And here it is!

We are now caught up on quilt projects. So mote it be.
