When I was first bitten by the quilting bug, I wanted to design a quilt for my daughter.
My daughter, Erin, loves cats. Especially her cat, Fluffy. And she loves to read. She especially
loves to read about cats. Her love is what inspired me to make my first
quilt - the Krazy Katz quilt.
I designed the quilt to have a
bookshelf surrounded by cats - featuring Erin's real life cat - Fluffy.
He is the orange and white one. Erin saw my sketch and drew a little
mouse on the shelf next to the sleepy kitty.
This was my
first attempt at making a full size quilt. And I've been hooked ever since!

And the playful tiger kitty...
Tell me about your first quilt. What inspired you to get started?

It is fabulous and gorgeous as a first quilt but mine is not that good when I did the for the first time!
Thank you, Nordzie!
I love your quilt and the story behind it! It is adorable, as is your daughter and her kitty!
What a great quilt! Hard to believe it was actually your first.
