Looking for fabric...
Hello all,
does any of you know of a fabric with cat motifs which cover an area of about 4 inches/10 cm square? I'm looking for a new 'centrepiece' for a quilt for DD. I had planned to make her one in the Chinese Coins pattern with larger inserts or 'medallions' (if that is the correct term for a square or rectangular one) with a 'Pixar's "Cars" tm'. However, she seems to have grown out of her 'Cars' phase and since I have all the other fabrics to go with that red fabric and want to make her one now, Cats (and not too cute ones) seem an acceptable replacement which might last her for a couple of years. The colour scheme should be red/orange/yellow. I would be so grateful for any hints and it would save me an age of searching in the jungle of patchwork fabrics. Thanks in advance, U. |

I've just made a handbag for my daughter from Laurel Burch 'Cats' fabric and it's *lovely*. Only thing is, the design's blue and perhaps more stylised than you might like. I believe the pattern is also available in a multi-colourway, which leans more toward red/orange. Do a google or ebay search on Laurel Burch Cats and see if you like what crops up.

I'll have to look a little more later on. Thank you! U. |

Jennifer in Ottawa Wonderful, just wonderful!!! I did google but this shop didn't show up. Well, I have to admit that I didn't go for shops but for themed fabric. Anyway, nothing beats a hint from someone who's been around a while. Thank you so much, Sally, I think I'll find what I want there. But, dazed and tealess as I am at this time of the morning: How do I order? Just mail them with fabric code and amount you want? U. |

Looking for fabric...
At the bottom of the 'cat fabric' page there is a red blob that you
press to order. You then get an order form with little pictures of the cat fabrics below and a space for amount (min. of 1/2 metre or yard I think). I have only bought from her at shows, but her husband, Laurence, has a parallel business specialising in EQ. I got my EQ and upgrades from him and he operates a very helpful service for people who buy from him - i.e. he sorts out our EQ problems and bugs! I'm surprised he hasn't sorted his wife out with an easier order method, though I do like his method of entering credit card numbers - separate blocks of 4 so you can follow whereabouts in the long number you are! I have been tempted too.........

Hah, I ordered and was treated like a customer should be; that is an excellent shop and I can only recommend it (and Joyce has three Siamese kitties, too, but what would you expect from an expert in cat fabrics. ;-). Plus, her shipping costs are really reasonable. Waiting for the fabric to arrive... ;-) U. |
