My Stashbuster Lady Jane arrived today, quilted with a luscious feel and classic, simply classic. Quilted with a delicate flow that gives it an instant feminine touch. I have loved this quilt. Oh I just have!!! It’s the scraps and stash and the simplicity. I think she’s precious and the quilting – the way it shows up in the border – well I just find that sheer delight. Thank you, Mary!
…and a close up a corner. This quit is my first quilt all for me.
The Corrugated Cat Park
Above. Vacuum cleaner delivered by “Brown” (aka: UPS) and is now in use. The box was donated to the makings of a new corrugated cat park. Cheap toys are the best and Kanga is certain she’s out of site.
Below. Kanga thinks: “Cattress Powers Kingston – stay back. I know you’re coming. I know you’re slinking up on me. You’re not going to get me. I’m here. See me See You! I’m a scary Jack-in-the-Box and I will get you in your sleep!!! I’m now giving you the evil eye…”
In other news from LeeHaven, the IV went just fine. The team in the hospital infusion center loved my bag. It attracted quite the attention. Today the water heater was installed and the day was hectic with no real rest however I do have plans tomorrow. A secret project is in the works for a celebration this month. I’ve had to put the Dresden Plates up so I can work on this one but it wont be for long.
Yours Quilted in Love, *karendianne.
Your first quilt just for you? And how long have you been quilting?
I'm late reading posts as usual but I am glad to hear that the infusion went OK.
I'm glad you have a nice infusion center. That is important. The quilt is really lovely. She's a lady for sure. There is something so incredibly satisfying about a scrap quilt.
Gorgeous quilt, Karen! So pretty! Quilting is beautiful!
Beautiful quilt and great fabrics!
You go girl!

Your quilt turned out beautifully. Are you already napping under it?? Love it. My cat Chelsea used to sleep in anything open. Suitcases, boxes, drawers. You name it. Great pic!!
Kanga is beautiful(what's with cats and boxes?) and your quilt is wonderful!
Love the scrappy quilt. Glad the treatment went well. Hope you have fun with your plans tomorrow.
The quilting looks great, it turned out super.
The cat looks happy, an empty box what more could Kanga ask for.
Hi there…hope you've had a nice weekend. Your finished quilt is wonderful!
Love watching your kitty play in her new “toy”. They never cease to amaze me!
Hugs, Karen
Yikes – Mary made your Lady Jane come alive! I'm, SO glad you're keeping it, Karen – it's so “you”! Another stunning finish from Lee Haven!
I wonder why on earth I ever spent so much on cat toys, when our cast-offs seem to be so much more fun! Who ever thought vacuum cleaner boxes could be so well recycled!
Cheers!
Lady Jane is very lovely. My silly cats will get into any box of any size that they can squeeze a portion of the bodies into. It can be quite comical at times to see them sitting in a box with their front paws on the outside.
Hooray that the IV went well!
And–great quilt!
Happy day all around! Wonderful quilt and I love the quilting! A big box for cat play, a new vacuum and water heater:) New toys for everyone!
So glad it all went well! (think loud cheering….)
Goldie is my box cat…she can even fit her big hiney into a shoe box (ok, the box bulges a bit but we don't tell her….)
Big doin's at your place! The quilt is gorgeous – I'm proud of you for keeping it all for YOU! Why do we always give everything we make away? Miss Bucket-O-Kute is still cute, no matter how evil she's trying to be. Great pics of the face of 'evil'. Hee hee!
I'm extremely pleased that the IV went well! You went in there armed with a fancy bag and positive thoughts, and came out a winner.
Have a wonderful day!
Beautiful quilt and quilting on it, Goddess! It has a great, comfy feel to it. A nice happy vibe, too.
Kangar-roonie-bucket is very cuteamous!
Lovely lovely quilt – the quilting really sets it off – enjoy snuggling under it – well, when the weather cools off a bit.
Funny how those boxes attract both kitties and kiddies!
That is good news about the IV. Lady Jane is double-G Gorgeous!
I LOVE that quilt, and the quilting on it is really beautiful too.
Glad the IV went OK. and the water heater is in. KangaCat really was enjoying the new toy too!
Oh the quilt is gorgeous. Just for you? You deserve it. Enjoy. Love the kitty box! I hope you get to rest tomorrow.
Don't know what I like more the purple posies fabric or the polka dot border….the whole quilt really came together so nicely. And the quilting fits it perfectly.
Love cardboard kitty. But, I also spied the Judy Niemeyer quilt on the open magazine there….I've been trying to suppress my urge to order that pattern….Arrgghhhh, now it's back on the short list….no, no more NEW projects!
Lady Jane is just lovely! And those cat toys look like fun. Now Mimi wants me to buy something new so that she can have a box too! My computer is not working well tonight and I couldn't link to the bag. I have no idea what that is all about.
Mee Too! I thought they liked your IV bag too, I was just wondering what all the fuss could be. Geez. How great to have something all for yourself, that you made and you love, and that others had a part in. Great.
Giggle! I thought you meant the staff liked your IV bag…some strange looking one? ?? Then I clicked on the link, and it clicked in my head that maybe I need a leeetle more caffeine!
It is just lovely, and just right to cuddle in! I am glad it is for you! IV day…I am glad it over and went OK for you. It is hard to herd cats, especially when they are in their natural environment (inside boxes)!
Oh, what a wonderful quilt! It looks so lovely and cozy and pretty!
Typical cat — a box must be investigated and laid claim to as quickly as possible.
I'm very glad your IV day is over and that it went so well.
Am also curious as can be about what you're up to!
The quilt looks great and the cat looks very happy!
Why do cats love boxes so much? Oh, and brown paper bags! Consider a box over that cat bed (less expensive anyway) LOL
Your piecing was wonderful and a joy to quilt.
Glad your quilt arrived and you are pleased.
IV day over..thankfully. You were heavy on my mind for sure.
I'm curious about what you've got going on over there!!
