I am happy to say that one of the small UFO kits can be checked off the list - and in time to enjoy it for Halloween THIS year!
Bad Kitty (on the right) was a laser cut kit I purchased at least a year ago. The kit had only the cat silhouette and instructions, and we provided our own moon and background fabrics. I chose to make mine a 16" pillow, so also found backing and binding in my stash.
It was ironed onto the background right away - and then just hung neglected in the closet. I think I was a bit intimidated with how to stitch down all of those tiny little spikey parts. The solution? I used black thread and just did a straight stitch close to the edges of the cat. And then I did a blanket stitch around the moon. A very simple random curvy line of quilting every 3 inches or so finished it.
The envelope back is a spiderweb print from my stash, and the purple binding is a striped batik, also from the stash. Yay! It looks really cute on my sofa this week.
