Introducing… Feline Myself!

This capsule collection features our feline friends. These cats are running the gamut of their daily facial expressions: ambivalent, careless, confused, and of course, sassy!

Here’s how our cats stack up!

Yep, that would be Catitutde.

We have striped kittens and tossed kittens—for all your sewing needs.

Check out these purr-ific quilts!

My Crazy Cat’s Quilt by Bea Lee

Bea’s quilt was inspired by her cat, Swiffer! Here he’s modeling one of the many expressions we described above. Can you guess which one?

We’d put our money on sassy.

Happy stitching!
