Welcome to Treadlestitches!
I wanted to get started on the pink scraps, but didn't have a lot of sewing time. Sew, I made just 6 of these little cats.
Isn't this print terrific? I got it in a scrap bag as a prize for making a Positivity quilt. The scrap bag came from Preeti Harris of sewpreetiquilts. (Thanks, Preeti!) This little kitty is a tiger inside!
There were several of these funny little elf houses in the park. They're not for birds or animals, they're just for fun.
The Canada geese had fluffy little babies running around. Sorry the goslings are blurry, they wouldn't stop moving!
After I got home I worked on the rest of the yellow RSC projects from April. I'm calling these Grocery Chains because I'm sewing the little scraps onto the paper grocery receipts .
It's fun to revisit all these yellow scraps, ranging from bright as day to nearly white. It's like an I Spy game. Can you find a blue hippo, a slice of watermelon, upside down red shoes, and a tiny pink bird?
This is my sister's cat, Velcro. Does he remind you of anybody? My sister and I adopted Tuxedo kittens at about the same time. My Snicky has a look-alike cousin!
I had a wonderful visit with family and I'm so glad I went. Safe travels to anyone going places this summer. Have a great week, and happy quilting!
Thanks for reading,

Velcro is a great name for a Kitty!
ReplyDeleteI think so too! He kept clinging to his people when he was a kitten, so the name was perfect.
DeleteThat sounds like a lovely trip, Sylvia! I saw baby geese at the golf course the other day - it's that time of year, isn't it?! You always have fun scrappy sewing to share. Those grocery chains are neat!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diann! I'm using up lots of small scraps on the grocery chains. Not sure why they're not disappearing though lol.
DeleteLovely little cat blocks. You certainly have some quirky scraps.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! Quirky is right! I love quirky.
DeleteHi Sylvia! Velcro is as adorable as his cousin! 😉 I love your colorful yellow strip. It’s the same idea I’m doing, but using grocery receipts as a foundation is genius! I have old adding machine tape I should use.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathy! Adding machine tape works great, I have a friend who is using it. (But the grocery receipts are free!)
DeleteSounds like a great trip to catch up with family. I do like the name Velcro! The orange cat print on the pink background is a great fabric! What interesting blocks you are making!!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThe tree is GORgeous! So are your kitty blocks. Sounds like you had a lovely trip. Velcro is adorable. My sister's cat is called Velcro too. I guess it is a popular name when one gets a sticky cat. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteWe always loved the geese and goslings; the mamas can be so protective. When my kids were little we would call them crossing guards. Love all your pink, especially the blossoms and flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome pink Kitties!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the kitties!
