Cats and Bowls

This week I had some time to work on a couple of silly projects that are fun to make.  One is an extension of the sock monkey craze that my sister and I have been on.  It is a sock kitten that is really neat.  I found the tutotial on this blog, http://community.babycentre.co.uk/post/a11193015/sock_cat_tutorial. 

This kitten is made with a child's sock.  I made it for my daughter Kate.

The other project I completed is a fabric bowl.  It is made with a fat quarter of batik fabric.  The flower is a tsunami kanzashi flower that I learned to make on You Tube.  It is like origami except you fold fabric instead of paper.

This weekend I am off to a quilting retreat.  We'll have lots of laughters and do lots of sewing.
