New Kitty and My First Table Runner!

My older sister adopted a stray female cat this spring that turned up in her yard. Turned out the cat (still a kitten herself!) was pregnant!

She asked me if I wanted a kitten when they came. I told her if she had a yellow tabby male, I'd take him. Well OF COURSE she had a yellow tabby male!

So let me introduce you to Ozzie, or Ausie, or Ahzie... can't decide on the spelling yet, but you get the idea.


My sister & her kids named him Oscar, but that wasn't quite right for me. I thought maybe Oswald...then Osi came out of that.


Anyway, here he is, in all his cuteness, chowing down on my first ever table runner! (He wasn't all that interested in posing for photo's)


The table runner is made from fabric I picked up at Joann's.

And BTW ladies, Joann's now has mini Jellyrolls (20 strips.. this one had 10 different prints), and charm square sized packages! The jellyroll was $12.99 and the yardage was $7.99. HOWEVER, Joann's also will now take more than 1 coupon per transaction, as long as they are DIFFERENT coupons. So I used 1 Robert's 50% for the jellyroll, and 2 different Joann's 40% coupons for the 2 quarter yard coordinating cuts I got for the backing. Total came to $9.50! With tax! I have a feeling I'll be shopping there more often!

The pattern is modified from the April in Paris Quilt from Fresh Fabric Treats. I changed the squares down to 6" from 10", and used some hand-me-down fabric for the foundation pieces. I also used leftover batting to quilt it with.

I LOVE cute projects that cost less than $10!
