Attention - Cat Lovers and Foodies






Garden Patch Cats are the creation of Helene Knott, quilt designer and teacher, and one of our new licensed artists.  They were originally designed for Story Quilts, and we are presenting them as needlepoint canvases in four different formats.........completely painted on either #13 or #18 or a painted veggie cat with outlined border and sashing.  This will allow the stitcher to change the color scheme.

All of these offer lots of opportunities for decorative stitching as well as an extra bonus - a FREE recipe with every canvas.

We are introducing the first 5 kitties at the Dallas show (room 424) and you can see more of the original quilts at www.storyquilts.com.  Let us know your favorites and we will put them in the lineup.
