When I spotted the pattern for this little kitty, I knew I had to make it for my MIL who loves cats and has taken up quilting since she retired a few years ago. Her birthday is coming up and she’s always always very appreciative of handmade gifts!
There’s an attached mouse pin cushion on the head, 4 pockets across the body, a ribbon flower & flange along the tail for clips. Of course, the whole body could be used for a pin cushion!
The base is weighted with “doll beads” and has a piece of cardboard for stability. THe base is definitely more smoothly oval in person than in the photo. Also the whole body is interfaced.
I was able to utilize stash for the stuffing, beads, cardboard, thread, floss, beads, buttons, collar ribbon, bell, felt. I bought the leopard print fabric since I didn’t find anything suitable in my stash and the flower ribbon. Also the notions.
Two things were not in the pattern: the collar which I added to disguise the wrinkling of the neck and the pink button under the tail which was TheMisterT’s idea. 
He was saying “oh you should add a little pink…” and I finished his sentence with “b*tthole.” I mean, if you have had and love cats you know how much cats like to show you their anus. 
Photo blurred for humor, not for truly graphic content. Just like opinions, 'most everyone’s got one!
I do wish my photos were a bit better, but I couldn’t get out the photo box for this today and was hoping for a bit brighter sunshine to bounce of the snow. At least I was able to shoot outside this morning! Someday I hope to have either a permanent place for photographing or a quicker set up/take down situation.
