I think I have an idea

this is maybe but I think I will do a "Tomte Santa Claus" it's a Fat Cat design I have that came in 3 different sizes, I just have to figure out the right size for a 12.5" square. I'll test my theory today and will let you know if it works.

Angel's and Fat Cats 🐈 will be wonderful!

Checked USPS this AM. Still $10.60. Hope it stays that way.

Chriss you’re amazing. Thanks for hosting! I’m excited to join in with this fun quilting group. Yes, count me in. Angels & fat cats are great! I love the Santa! πŸŽ…
I’d love to do a 🌲 Christmas tree with a kitty. I found a cute pattern, but the block is too big. A size 16, but I can probably tweak it so 12 1/2. Would it be okay to add a black cat to the color scheme? I could make it silver. Which kitty do you like the best, with the tree?

Great.

I have Maryz's angel, Maryq's fat Santa, and Beverly's tree with a kitty. All great blocks. I know the three of you are still in the planning stage so if for some reason you need to change something just let me know and if it's not taken it can be changed.

Valerie, I also hope postage doesn't go up. But it couldn't go over $11 I wouldn't think.

Kathy R and Beverly, I don't have your addresses, please, when you have time, PM them to me or if you'd rather email them my email is chrmoo@hotmail.com Thanks girls.

I have a couple of blocks in mind too. I saw an adorable block with a dog sitting holding a string of lights in his mouth. But I'm still looking.

Yay Bev! Welcome aboard! It's so nice to see you! And you know me - love the cat idea, and if you look at my avatar, I'm sure you'll see what color cat I'd vote for - but I'm not the boss of this shin-dig. I'm just happy someone is making a block with a cat! 😽

I tried a sample block today. This is my angel. The block turned out to be 13 1/2 inches so there will be lots of room to prune it. I hope you like her. Or him. We always say her. Can boys be angels, too?

Love it Maryz!
I was going to make my practice wreath today but that didn't happen, I may go pick fabric while Frankie is busy after supper. It's Dad's night to eat here. I hope I have the fabrics I need ☺️

Maryz, I love your angel.

Beverly, your black kitty is fine. And if you want to make your kitties all different kitty colors you go right ahead.

Tina, I bet you have the perfect wreath fabric, if not let me know and I will sneak you some greens.

Tonight I am going to decide on a block. Not quite sure what it will be just yet but I do have plans for it to be posted tonight.
