Yeah! I am caught up on the 365 quilt! Whew! That was a close one! It was like, if I didn't do it right now, then it would be forgotten forever. I spent some of the time trying to remember (checking my schedule book and blog) and then writing the entries and finally sewing them into weekly sections. I decided to use my Christmas fabric for the month of December and I had a wonderful selection to choose from, given to me from Nancy at Blogging, Near Philadelphia. She had offered some Laurel Burch Christmas fabrics and she pulled my name on her give away last May. 
I was so thrilled to have these bright CAT prints and still haven't thought up something wonderful enough to use them for but as an accent to the 365 I was pleased to work with them yesterday. So I had Nancy on my mind all day and especially her sweet furry family member who has been sick. My sewing room is my praying room too so I spent the morning praying for Bo as the Laurel Burch fabrics passed through my fingers.
And here is Tetsu posing again for me (twice in two days!) so that I can show you that his vest worked out fine and is neither too big nor too little.Choco got a bath yesterday and I let her run loose in the house while I was sewing but upon returning to the kitchen I found my yogurt jar (I make yogurt every other morning) was only half filled. I distinctly remember filling that container with milk earlier and setting it on the counter so that the yogurt could culture. Choco has a bad habit of checking out the counters just by standing on her hind legs so I guess she is the criminal. Amazing that she didn't knock the whole thing over, just lapped up half the jar! The rest got dumped in her bowl and she had a snack of homegrown yogurt. I love her but I was not eating that after she's stuck her tongue in it!
And the cats are trying to stay warm by congregating on the heater every morning. Not enough room for four cats so Lemi chooses someone's lap instead but these three look like sparrows crowded together on a telephone line! Nothing like keeping your bum warm for comfort!

The cats look very comfortable on top of that heater! Mine like to gather in front of the heat register in my bathroom, thereby capturing all its heat and blocking the warm air from entering the room :-( Wish they'd share a little better like yours :-)
The cats are darling -- and they don't really look very comfy - just glaring and daring someone to usurp one of the spaces! LOL, but Tetsu is obviously very proud of his talented lady! Good job.
Good for you Tanya to get caught up again! You have inspired me to do the same...hopefully by the weekend I will be caught up too.
Merry Christmas!
hurray, you got to do some sewing!!! Tetsu's vest looks great. Poor freezing kitties - at least their toes are warm. they look very sweet.
Yeah, Tetsu looks so proud of his new vest. I've never seen 3 cats on top of stove!
What is a 365 quilt? Do you have an explanation somewhere on your blog?
I'm amazed that Choco didn't get stuck in the jar! My dogs would have! I think the kitties have been reading about Snoopy in the newspaper. I think they look like him when he is imitating the vulture! The vest looks great on Tetsu. How do you knit so fast!?
Tetsu looks very handsome in his vest! Great work Tanya.
Your cats sitting there made me smile. Your 365 is looking very good.
Leo sneaked SG's cup of Milo, & we couldnt believe he never knocked the cup over!
Aren't your cats cute...doesn't every cat want and need a warm bottom!!
LOL
I found your blog yesterday and have enjoyed reading some of your past posts. I'll be back often!
Oh my gosh, that is the funniest cat picture that I have seen in quite a while!
