Quilting interrupted by baby crafts
I guess I should admit that as much as I love to quilt, I do have a multi-purpose sewing room. I make wedding veils for decent cash and devote a lot of time to making fun things for Katie. Yesterday we went to Jackman's Fabric store for veil fabric and to find the last green to finish out the squares for Cindy. Katie did some shopping of her own and found a cat print. She all but climbed over me to get to it, muttering "ki-ee-ka. ki-ee-ka. ki-ee-ka" like she was possessed. Possessed by pretty kitty cats.
Naturally, the fabric found its way home with us and today I turned it into an activity book to, hopefully, make the flights easier on us all next week.
The cover is just two iron-on cats from WalMart that Katie found and talked to for 30 minutes straight today. They match the cats in the print perfectly.
Page 1-2, the cats wake up and have breakfast. The flannel blanket is the same fabric as one of Katie's sleepers.
Page 3-4: Playtime! The cats are playing with yarn and the adjacent page will have yarn tied to it.
Page 5-6: Play with Ribbon.
Page 7-8 The cat playing under a piece of paper is filled with crinkle paper and lifts to show a cat sleeping on newspaper. The purple fleece pulls back to see 2 sleeping cats.
Page 9-10: More playtime! Outside fun. The green "grass" ribbons move to reveal a cat in the grass. A panel opens to see another cat. The cat climbing the tree finds a friend under the leaves, which are also full of crinkle for extra fun.
Page 11-12: Relaxing inside. The cat looking out the window sees two birds, but sees them clearer if you move the lace curtain. The cat under the dustruffle plays with a spool, and another spool is in the pink pocket.
Page 13-14: Dinner and playtime before bed. Magnets are sewn behind the yarn balls in each picture and the pom-poms have magnets so you can give the ball to the cat.
Page 15: End of the day...sleep!
