I used one jelly roll of Basic Grey’s Urban Couture fabric line by Moda. Here’s the back:

For the quilting, I used my favorite color-changing thread by YLI. It goes from cream to brown and back:

I haven’t been quilting for a while…still trying to get used to my new job. But I’m sure I’ll get back to it soon!

And Jax says,

“These reusable bags can be reused as my mat. You weren’t going shopping, were you?”

But it is missing something… It needs a weird cat button in the corner!

Thanks Kokimama for the cat buttons! Here’s the back, also made from scrap backing:

And Mittens says,

“I don’t like this new kitty.” *mmrow* *bite* *hisss*

I got the backing on sale at my favorite online store – The Fabric Shack.

I used plain Beige thread for the quilting:

And now the results! Here is Rima’s chair before:

And Mittens says,

“I know I’m not allowed on there, but I know my fur is on it anyways.”

Here’s my next project. It was too small to put on the quilting frame, so I took the machine off the frame and quilted it separately. When was the last time I machine quilted this way? I can’t remember.

I’ll have a photo of the completed product soon!

And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t caption this photo:

And Jax says,

“Why are you making that weird laughing noise?”
