Please accept this photo of my miniature quilt with both a cat and a parakeet. I made this 12" by 10" wall hanging from a pattern by Aniko Fehrer. She called for the cat to be looking at a butterfly, but I fussycut a parakeet from fabric and appliqued that on instead.

This quilt was made and quilted by me. I did the thread painting on the kitty and the free motion quilting on the background as a relatively new machine quilter, having just recently purchased a sewing machine that could handle such stitching!
