The Strange are Quilting

There have been a few slow days at work here... so I have had a little time to design a bit. I actually got a bit of (granted morbid) inspiration from a post on a wonderful facebook group I am in. The person made a quilt square for her cat who passed away. I have recently had to deal with such heart ache and it inspired me to crate my own. I hope to make one for each of my furry friends who have passes one. Right now I will show you the two I have gotten some work done on: Dot RIP 201?-2017 Mesha 201?-2018  They are still works in progress. I think I may try and find a different picture of Mesha to work from that might read a little easier in quilt form. Working on them was pretty emotional for me, well, more emotional that I thought it would be. I miss them both very much. I hope to add my other four childhood cats to the mix some day, but that will probably mean I will have to scan some pictures in. Who knows, maybe this could be a service I could offer? Do you think...

I haven't had much time to design or quilt lately for various reasons (holidays, sickness, machine in the shop etc) but I did find a few seconds today to mess around with some designs. These are more personal, as my parents both work/ed for the respective companies. I hope to work them into some kind of holiday gift for next year. Setting my goals high, I know... but maybe, just maybe, I can get one or both of them done? Maybe? We shall see. One was definitely more work than the other. Can you guess which one?
