My kitty rainbow Step ladder quilt! It was made from a jelly roll, a bit of white accent, and the black border. I think it turned out fabulous 💖
The cats on the fabric are all directional, so I had to be careful sorting out the rows, and putting the rainbow border together, but I only got two turned around that I had to fix!
I’m considering finding a rainbow thread to quilt this with, but haven’t decided yet. It’ll have black minky on the back too, and black binding.

I've been really inspired by the visible mending ideas on @wastelesscrafts page, and decided to give it a shot on my cat-scratched couch.
Details on the process below the image description for anyone interested.
[Image ID: Three pictures of the back right corner of an olive green suede couch, each image from a slightly different angle. There is a hole in the fabric just below the back of the armrest, roughly the size and shape of the sole of a shoe. The hole has been patched with a cream-colored fabric with a thick, textured weave. The surrounding area of the couch has loose threads from cat scratches. End Image ID.]
This corner of the couch is their absolute favorite scratching spot, and they made a hole down to the wood that was bigger than my hand. I didn't bother making the edges pretty because I expect that they'll have this destroyed soon too, though I'm considering adding vines & flowers if it holds up well over the next month or so.
I used scrap upholstery fabric in a color I thought looked nice, and embroidery floss (3 strands, not 6, too hard to get through fabric) that matched the couch. I would list what stitches I used but honestly there was absolutely no method to the madness. Some combination of determination and desperation seemed to do the trick though.
Even with thimbles this was murder. The thick fabrics + the upholstery padding made this really tough, I wouldn't recommend this if you have issues with finger mobility, strength, or sensitivity.
Funky project, would spend a day on it again, but only after my fingers heal.

Purpureo Sub Caelo
Sermon 3: Irae
(A Grinning Cat Story)
The Prototype slowly crawled out of its oak. It had grown. It wore the skin and bones of the hanging bodies. As of now, it was more flesh than plastic and metal. Amongst the menagerie of carrion and wood, there laid a skull, visibly older than all the other pieces within. In its mouth, a speaker.
It spoke with the voices of many, alternating between them all like seasons.
"What did you just ask? 'Why?' Why what?"
"Why...why are there more bodies?"
"....that is none of your concern."
"How is it not? For all I have known, you were stayed put, you had me get you nourishment, food, I found this tree just for you. These 'trophies' aren't of any that I have killed. What have you been doing? Where have you found all of these people?"
It stood there, like a statue, unmoving.
"WHERE?!"
Theo shouted, his voice going from a whisper to a screech. He hadn't been this angry ever since the purging of his friends. The ones he killed under what he now realized was a false pretense. They died for nothing. That thing in front of him was nothing, no matter how big it would get now.
"...there is a town near these woods. Plenty of people for quite a small town."
"...Do they know of anything that happened? About us?"
"No."
Theodore expected that answer by now. The final stone of which his faith was crushed beneath.
"Then why take their lives?...why, they had nothing to do with us, why-"
"THEY HAD THE GAUL TO EXIST."
The Prototype cried, its anger and malice clear with every word.
"They exist. And for that they should all perish."
Without a second thought, Theodore pounced on his former god, his steel claws ripping away at its flesh and bone. Its one, great claw tried all it could to stop the Cat, to no avail. It was only through unfortunate luck that it made a decisive strike, a slash to Theo's chest. It wasn't fatal, but it was enough to make him stop.
He had reduced it to half the size it once was, meat, metal, bones, and the like were strewn about like confetti. The two experiments were now drenched in blood, the faded purple of Theo's fur only barely visible. The cut that the Prototype had left in his chest was bleeding heavily, but he'd manage. While his face was still smiling, his eyes were filled with contempt, rage, and betrayal. He never believed that this would ever happen between the two of them, yet here they were, nearly breathless.
"...so this is it, Theo? You're just going to leave me, just like that? Do you forget that I saved you? If it weren't for me, you'd just be another body amongst the mountain of others that they made. Without me, you wouldn't have been gifted with such an immaculate form!"
"Immaculate? You've thought this was a blessing this whole time? I never asked you to save me, I never asked for this! None of us did! You never did...did you?"
"....Does it matter? In the end, I'll have won. And you know it."
The silence was deafening. No birds, no wind. Just the two of them, surrounded by bodies, flesh, regret, and evil.
The scent of poppies filled the air, and a metallic thud echoed across the woods.
Theo walked. That's all he could do now. He was a follower with no leader but himself. It was almost a death wish, walking with all that blood dripping from him. Anything could track him down and end him right then and there. Maybe that's what he deserved.
He walked until he could no longer bear his own weight. He fell in a grove of fruit trees, the sunset making the shade cover him entirely. The closest thing to Heaven on Earth, through his eyes. And he drifted off, a well deserved rest after what he had been put through.
There are no just gods. Only devils who like to play pretend.
