The Celery Cat Has Arrived

El Tigre is the name of the cat that has been living with us for over 13 years. He likes to travel fortunately, since we have little choice but to take him with us in our travel trailer when heading south in the winter.  Needless to say, we like cats.

So, when we got the first Color Challenge wallhanging for the 2011 sale, we were pleased to find that is was a cat, called Celery Cat.  It looked like no cat we’d ever seen before.  It is a green cat, but it did include each of the 5 fabrics that are in this year’s Color Challenge packet.  25 people purchased packets with 5 different fabric fat quarters at the 2010 sale.  The Challenge is for them to make a wallhanging, not bigger than 40 inches square, using all 5 fabrics in the packet, plus up to 5 of their own choosing.

This is the 4th year for the Color Challenge, and quilt makers from Connecticut to California have purchased the packets for this year.  We look forward to showing you the other entries as they come in.   You can see Celery Cat on the website now.
