A few months ago, Sissie 2 (Suzi- the sister in the middle) and her husband lost their cat to old age.  She was a nice kitty so I decided to make a pillow cover to in her honor.  It is just a simple applique but it was fun putting it together.  Most of the time is spent trying to decide on a color scheme when I do applique.  Once I get a color scheme, I like to play around with different fabrics to see what looks best.  This is how it turned out.  By the way, she said she is done with animals for awhile.  I hope she`ll take this one in as it requires little care.
