Review

"Oozing with personality and brimming with life.... Captures the essence of cat right down to the last drop."  —Jillian Sawyer, author, Patterns for Craftspeople and Artisans

Product Description

More than 30 original designs that convey the aloof attitude and languid posture beloved by cat lovers may be enlarged or reduced for use in a wide variety of crafts such as appliqué, card making, embroidery, glass, mosaics, quilting, silk or china painting, and stained glass. The patterns, centered upon characteristic feline expressions ranging from “Where’s My Dinner?” to “Why Did You Stop Scratching Me?” each contain between 11 and 30 pieces, making them accessible to crafters with basic skills as well as advanced crafters seeking a quick, dramatic project. While the illustrated examples are primarily designed for stained glass pieces, each provides an inspirational color guide for application to other crafts. In addition, line drawings are featured alongside each design, and a few technical tips are included for those choosing to execute the designs for stained glass construction.

I love doing applique, and recently I've started putting padded applique on sweatshirts. This is just one of the books I bought to get me started. The designs are cute, simple, attractive, and lend themselves to multiple applications. Best of all, my sweatshirt creations have been a hit with customers.

By	B. E. Powell "quiltingmama" (Honolulu, HI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's a wonderful book of patterns easily adapted for Stained Glass quilting or applique. Shows completed patterns in color used by author in her stained glass and same pattern in black and white. I have recommended it to my quilting teacher who immediately bought her own copy.
