Pets on Quilts Show

This is my entry for http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com 's Pets on Quilts Show!
Stripe, my son's rat likes hanging out on this scrappy yo-yo quilt.  I sewed it years ago.  Partly by hand, partly by machine- I couldn't seem to decide!
Here are Cloud and Stripe sharing secrets.
Stripe, up close on quilt I made inspired by a sunset. Those are applique clouds.
Not to be outdone by rats- Alice is posing on her favorite quilt.  It actually has calico cat fabric in it too!  I sewed this one using the instruction booklet in my shop http://catsongstitchery.etsy.com

  3. Very cute. The obvious question....Does Alice want to catch the rats? They are all so cute. I bet there isn't another rat on a quilt in this show. Very cute. Four legged children and beautiful quilts. Thanks for sharing.

  12. My daughter had a pet rat that was her 5th grade science project. I really loved that little guy. We called him Little Howard. Alice is gorgeous.

  13. I can not believe you have a rat and cat living in the same house, I would think the cat would use the rat as a toy.

  16. Oh I just love your rats! They are adorable! I had rats when I was young. Our last was a mouse (not rat) named Saturn. That's a lot of yo-yo.

  20. I have to confess, I love pet rats! They are so affectionate. My friend had one, and it loved to curl up in your sleeve. Do yours do that?

    I love your yo yo scrappy quilt too! It looks like a lot of fun.
    Was is hard to get your beautiful cats to live with the rats?
