Kitty and Me News Brief

Call for submissions!!!  Pat Winter is working on the Summer 2014 issue of Crazy Quilt Gatherings magazine.  She still has room for articles, tutorials and eye candy!  If you would like to submit your projects to Pat, you can send them to her email address.

In other news, I had the honor of being asked for an interview by Linda Pruitt of Abigail's Attic blog.  It's a wonderful blog post and it was a pleasure to answers Linda's questions.  Thank you Linda!!!!

For today's stitching photo, I've started on my 2nd Watermelon Purse:

I'm going to take a break for a couple of hours and stitch up one of my little cat dolls for a gift and then I'll get back to this.
