2011 pets on quilts!

Sew Cal Gal is running a gorgeous competition with some amazing prizes. The subject is Pets on Quilts!
I have had a sticky beak at some of the entries and they are just adorable. Of course I have a few Maisie pics as she is a quilt tester extraordinaire so here are some pics for my entry.
Some background on miss Maisie...
We got her a few years ago after the passing of my special 21 year old cat Mimi.
Mimi was a wonderful cat, so affectionate and loving, I would say she was part dog! I swore I wouldn't get another cat but after a few months I just missed her so much and craved the company of a moggy around the house. I love my furry boys but there is something about cats, their take it or leave it attitude.
We got Maisie. She was the runt of the litter and I am sure the kittens were only about 6 weeks old. She was free to a good home and we fitted that bill so she came home with us.
I think she is such a beautiful cat and can be very affectionate when it suits!
So roll on the photo parade...

 this is one of my favourite photos..
maisie's usual quilt pose!

'that's the life for me......'



that pose started very early on...

I do sit up occasionally..
Well that is my girl... I hope you enjoyed the pics...
For those that are a little allergic to cats...
I do have one pic of Coffee on a quilt... but he was very small and very sneaky and hopped onto my bed when no one was watching. I suppose it was a doggy quilt.
hope you are having a great week....
Will be back on the weekend to show progress on my Down in the garden!
cheers
Marina

  2. Lovely pictures... Maisie is very beautiful. Good luck... Our little dog is not allowed on bed and if I put her on a quilt to pose she scoots off in case she gets into trouble!! I wonder if Hubz would count as a pet?

  5. She is so beautiful. I agree, the first picture is my favorite also, although the kitten one made me giggle. Of course having a dog quilt on the bed is an invitation to relax. Thanks, beautiful pictures.

  32. When I opened your blog - and saw Maisie, Oh My!! She is the most beautiful cat I have ever seen!! If she is even half as sweet as she is pretty, you've got a wonderful companion.

    So and I love the Grandmother flower garden quilt. Love the butterflies on the border too.
