I'd like to present to you, my ABC quilt. The pattern is by Janet Stone. It was a block of the month program by the Quilt Show a couple of years ago. It was quilted by Andrea Renick.
It's been hanging in my closet waiting for the quilting to be done. I saw
Andrea Rennick's freehand quilted quilts at the Keswick Quilt Show a couple of weeks ago, and I knew that's what I wanted for this quilt. Andrea finished it in record time, and left me some little surprises in the quilting. So far, I've found the spider, the kite, and the dragonfly. I love my curly little sheep. Last evening at the guild meeting, she said "Did you find the Cat?" It shocked me. There's a cat in my Quilt? I thought I had all the little "Easter Eggs" so I was surprised to know that there is still a cat hidden in my quilt. Today, I'm looking for the little cat and it has still not revealed itself. If you spot the cat, don't tell me where it is. I want to find it myself.
Thanks Andrea, for the fantastic job on my ABC quilt. Here are some closeups for you to see the fun details..

Beautiful quilt and quilting also!!!
The final pictures are amazing - such a fun quilt to quilt too! If it helps, the cat is a kitty face. I got home the other night and realized I forgot to mention the kite too but glad you found it. :)
