Welcome Mat Quilt

With left over HSTs from another quilt project, I made a Welcome Mat Quilt.

The floor in my quilt room gets chilly in the fall and winter. Wilbur sits by the door and watches the gopher that comes right to the door to taunt him, while the squirrels are busy eating the birdseed that has fallen from the feeders. I thought he needed a little welcome mat to keep his kitty toes warm.

The little mat is 20 inches x 28 inches. I did simple quilting, diagonal lines along the seams. All of the fabrics used are from my stash, and Hobbs 80/20 was used for batting. While I really didn’t begin to make this thinking it would end up on the floor by the door, it fits perfectly.

Wilbur was a bit skeptical at first, not wanting to step on this new thing in his territory, but he soon came around.

This little Welcome Mat Quilt is a purrfect match, don’t you think?

Going Silent

In my last I Like Thursdays post, I mentioned that I am working my way through the book, The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron. This is a new experience for me, and I’m definitely being stretched by this book.

Part of this week’s exercise is to go through a reading deprivation. No reading, movies, emails or social media.

So as I sign off on this post, I will be silent for the remainder of the week starting tomorrow morning. I’ll be back again next Sunday evening. This will be a difficult week for me, I think. I enjoy reading your blog posts (and responding to them), and books (especially before bed), and watching shows. I’ll miss writing posts here, too. Without being able to do any of that, I may have the cleanest house on the planet by next Sunday . . . at least I can sew! Cheer me on when you think of me, my friends!

See you next Sunday!

Wendy
