Thank you for all the prayers for Commi, my beloved paralyzed blue russian cat (I know but what else would you name a soviet feline?). We have gone back to the steriod treatment, and although it will eventually cause damage to his kidneys with prolonged use, his pain is much diminished and I am coming to grips with the care required. His attitude has returned along with a spoiled demandingness that comes with having humans tote and fetch for you for extended periods of time. How we ended up being the home for "special needs" felines (Izzy my female blue russian has only 3 legs), I don't know.
On the quilting front, this past week we were hit with what I refer to as "Snowmegedon" here in Atlanta. 6 inches of snow plus ice will shut this place down. During commi's naps, I was able to finish the borders for this long suffering project. When something turns out less than stellar we term it primitive and feel fine to have the cats and humans alike use and abuse said quilt. Baskets sort of fits in this category. Wanted to free piece the word, but didn't really have a light plaid that would work, so fusable applique won the day. Oh well.
Well, I like it! Glad that Commi is responding to the steroids.
ReplyDeleteLove the basket quilt. And I'm glad you are having more time with Commi. Hope he continues to feel better for a good while.
ReplyDeleteHello, just wanted to say I love your quilt! Beatrice (from France, Europe).
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt! I want to make a basket quilt one of these days
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely basket quilt. Your choice of fabrics is absolutely perfect. You really did a great job with this project. By the way, hope your cat is better now. Have a nice day!
