Mustn't forget the Cat Lovers, and Quilters...

[Xipe Totec]

Since I posted one of my wife's works of art on another thread,

Here is a pic of one of her quilts, with a cat theme:



The white cat commemorates Lace, and the black one is Boo.

They've since passed away, but their memory remains in this quilt.

Lace was named in honor of NASA's LACIE project, where my wife worked for many years.

4. I'll show them to her tomorrow

She's asleep right now.

Thanks!

The tabby on the right reminds me of one of our frequent visitor's, whom we named Tigger:



We don't own him; he owns us.

8. Is your cat studying calculus?

I'm impressed!

[Xipe Totec]

9. He is my humanities instructor

He tells me when it's time to kick the books out, and rub his chin.

The book is Theory of Formal Languages, the chapter is Finite State Automata.

I get my Master's diploma in computer science in another month, and start my PhD on speech recognition.

I am so thrilled I'm besides myself.

18. Thank you!!

I have 3 more to do. They've been cut out but not pieced. I should do that...

:hug:

17. I showed your quilts to my wife

She was very impressed. She said it is very hard to do points, your work is gorgeous.

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

19. Please tell you wife

I took an applique class and failed miserably. Perhaps she and I should collaborate. ;)

:hi:

3. wow, very nice....

I presume those are your children-- they're very lovely kids. Your wife is quite a craftswoman!

[Xipe Totec]

6. Yes they are

The youngest is now 19 years old, so these are very old pics.

Now that they're grown and almost ready to fly the coop, she will have the space to take up her craft once again.

:hi:

7. very nice ---

i have made some quilt wall hangings. it was a christmas project one year. wish i had pix to share.

she does lovely work and the kids are cute, too:hi:

[Xipe Totec]

10. Thanks!

We have a wall hanging quilt; a going away present from her Quilting Bee in Houston.

Each block was made by one of her friends, each is in a totally different style.

yet they all mesh together to form a sea theme. That is the theme of our home; the sea and it's creatures.

(if you look carefully, you'll see a lighthouse in the shelf above the TV set in the original picture, with a sailboat next to it).

11. That's gorgeous

My mom's a quilter. Has your wife heard of the Ladies Sewing and Terrorist Society?

[Xipe Totec]

13. No, I haven't.

Please tell me about them, and I'll pass it along to her.

Thanks!

16. I think it's mostly a joke

but my mom has seen bumper stickers with that name on them. I did find this while trying to see if they were some official organization instead of humor. http://ladyterrorists.tribe.net/

14. That is a magnificent quilt

Just stunning! Me I love the black cats, have three at home now, and one tortie. The quilt kind of looks like my bed at night!

15. I love that quilt.

I quilt some but have never done applique quilts. I have done applique wall hangings but not a big quilt.

Very nice!
