The applique is fused and machine stitched with a small buttonhole stitch in matching thread. I enjoyed picking out the fabrics for the bodies of the cats and their outfits.You can see here the matching stocking that I made before this past Christmas. I made two of the stockings. Those were completed but I did not get the quilting done on the quilt top.
I pieced the back of the quilt because I didn't have enough of any one fabric. Plus, I think it gives interest to the back.
I am having a dental problem and trying to keep the pain under control until my appointment on Monday afternoon. That means I am not getting much stitching done because the pain medication makes me sleep or be so drowsy that I don't feel like doing anything. I have to have a root canal done. I am on an antibiotic. The pain is much more localized today. I am going to try taking just Tylenol this morning to see if that will keep the pain under control enough that I can sew. I don't want to sleep the day away again like I did yesterday. My only stitching from yesterday was to applique a couple of the simple baskets onto their background pieces. I can tell you that Monday afternoon can't get here fast enough.

oh my gosh, your kitties quilt is absolutely fantastic!! I love cats, and the backside is much better than only monochrome!
I wish you all the best and hope you will feel very well soon.
I love the kitties, so cute! ;-)
I feel your pain about the root canal. I am in the process of having my crown placed for a root canal too! I did nothing but sit on my couch for two days when it first happened. I hope you feel better soon.
Oh girlfriend so sorry about your dental problem!!When something interferes with your quilting it is just really BAD!!!!!!!If you need me for anything I am just a phone call away.Take care. Ray is out of town until wednesday . HUgs, Marie
Ahhh.. dental problems...NO FUN AT ALL!!! Wish it was Monday for you!!! :o) Hang in there... and hope it will be alittle bit better during the day!!
LOVE you KITTIES!!!! And I loved the other quilt too.. so thats no wonder I like this one too..:o) Nice job Karen!!! :o)
So sorry about your dental problems - wish it were tuesday already and this was behind you! I love the quilt - and with the pieced back, it's just like another quilt there!

I feel your pain...I went through the same thing last fall with two teeth hurting at the same time and both needed RC but the dentist only found one at his first exam so the pain didn't go away after my first RC and we knew something else had to be going on.
I hope that your weekend is only mild pain (or none) and your RC goes well and you're back to your pain-free self very soon.
I would like to wish the wekend away for you. Good luck on Monday. Love your Christmas Quilt.
The Prim Kitties are fun, the tooth thing, not so much. Sorry! I'm off to further mess up my sewing room, lol, this is just the calm before the storm! I have serious sewing to do.
I love the Jan Patek pattern. She is amazing! That is a fun quilt!
I feel for ya with your tooth pain. I am wearing a temp. crown on one that broke a couple of weeks ago. Feels like the other side of my mouth wants to have some teeth go too! Hope you can get your pain to subside completely until Monday!
Blessings!
cute quilt!
I have that book and never noticed the pattern will have to get it out and look again!
thanks
oh sorry to hear about dental woes...
been going thru some myself
Kathie
Oh crumb - I hope Monday does get here quickly for you.
Your kitties are just darling *s*
I am so sorry about your tooth pain. I have been there and done that. Do not want to repeat it. I hope your pain goes away. I love that kitty quilt. I have loved almost every quilt I have seen made from Jan Patek patterns. I just must get some of her patterns. After all, she lives just about 60 miles away from me.(grin) I hope your weekend speeds by. Winona
Ouch, hope the rest of the week-end flies by for you. The Kitties quilt is really wonderful!
Very cute quilt, Karen, and I love the back!!
Sorry your tooth is giving you such pain. Nothing worse than sleeping the whole day away.

That kitty quilt is so amazing. Love the fabrics. So sorry about your dental problem..that is no fun at all. Take take it easy.
Oh your poor tooth! I sympathize... I hate the dentist... I hate tooth pain... ouch!
Your kitties are great! Love them and that back is really cute!
Love the Kitty-angels. Bet you feel good about having that finished and ready to display at Christmas? (Or at any other time you want angels watching over you).
Hope the tooth gets sorted out quickly.
cool cats! cute!...Hope the visit to the dentist eases the pain...and you can get some stitching done....!
Tooth pain is horrible. I'm sorry you are not feeling well. Hope that changes soon. Love the pieced back on your quilt. Something I have to try ...soon. ...Ann :)
The Christmas kitty quilt is so cute! How nice to have a jump start on the holidays:)
I hope your tooth is feeling better soon.
Perfect back! Use it up...you paid could money for even the little scrap. Fantastic kitties!! You always have the best surprises here!! Wish you well for Monday afternoon...feel for you.
I'm not a cat person as so many quilters seem to be but I do think your cat angels are very cute. Love the backing too.
Your kitty quilt is lovely! Hope you feel better!

That's a real cute quilt. I really like the idea of pieced blocks on the backing as I think it gives the quilt a little extra interest - but for some reason I have never done it. I am going to have to remedy that soon.
Great kittie quilt. And the back is as great as the front. Hope the dental work goes well. That is always a trial!
Good luck with your dental appointment tomorrow. I've been going through some things, and it just isn't any fun! I love your kitty quilt and the backing is great because it gives interest to both sides of the quilt!
Oh I hate tooth aches! I broke a tooth and my appointment isn't until July so I'm hoping it doesn't start hurting. Ibuprofen is what my dentist says works better than tylenol and sometimes even better than pain meds...well your appointment is tomorrow so not much help now :( I hope it goes well and your pain goes away! I love that kitty quilt...if I ever get good at applique I will put that in my pile of "to do someday"!!
I am so sorry about your tooth pain. I had a lot of dental work when I was younger and I feel like it's the worst of all pains, at least those that I've experienced. I hope you feel better soon.
The Christmas Kitties quilt is just the cutest thing.
I love the kittie quilt and the backing is great. So much better than a boring back.
Today is Monday hoping your dentist appointment goes well.
katie
Another cute quilt and another finish! You are really on a roll! I love the back too, very clever and I just love stars anywhere. ;)
Good luck at the dentist!
This is a gorgeous quilt! I like those kitties.
I recognize that kitty from my beautiful stocking you made for me last year! What a great quilt!
I forgot to add that I hope the dentist went well today and the pain has at least stopped a bit!
Wow, Karen, I almost missed this one - it's fabulous. I hope your visit with the dentist went very well and you're feeling better.
The kitties are precious. I hope you were able to get your dental work done and are out of pain now...that can really drag you down.
Hi Karen, I hope you are feeling better soon.....nothing worse......than toothache....love the kitties and also the piecing of the back of the quilt....warm regards lyn
Love your quilts and that flag...makes me think I need to do something quick for the 4th.
I love pieced backs. The add so much to a quilt and are a great way to use up scraps.
I also love your chicken and pumpkin quilt.
I just love your Christmas Kitties Quilt! My cousin would die for it!
Karen, love, love Zoie's Kittens!! The back is really cute, I have always wanted to do that, brings intrigue to the back don't you think, Great Job, Hugs, Mary
Oh no...dental pain is not fun. I hope Monday comes fast for you. Take it easy and you'll be back quilting in no time.
The kitty quilt is adorable...I love cats.
Love the kitties....hope all that tooth pain is behind you.
