Sofia, my inspiration
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Cute, Whimsical


Materials

Cotton fabric

What was your inspiration?

I saw several versions of this appliqued tree design, with a bird beside the tree, on various blogs and websites. I decided I wanted to make a version of my own. I found a fabric in my stash of a grey cat that looks very much like my own kitty, Sofia. So I decided to put a cat under the appliqued tree. (See photo of Sofia.)

What are you most proud of?

Wish I could say my creativity, because my ideas come mostly from other very creative people. I just make my own version of what I see. So, I am proud of my finished product--the cat pillow just makes me smile.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Look at websites, blogs, Pinterest,com, etc. to "spark" your next project.

it's lovely - such an unusual idea for the tree and I love anything with a cat on it! And you've put one on the back too! Sofia is totally gorgeous - is she a Maine Coon? Or perhaps a Norwegian Forest Cat? (Gosh - I'm supposed to be admiring the cushion - which I do - but am going into raptures over your cat!)

Hi, Thanks again for you comments. Love hearing from you. Sofia is a Maine Coon. She was born with just one eye and my daughter rescued her. Needless to say I adore her.
