Lily Pad quilting is hosting a "Pets on Quilts" photo competition and i realised that I have lots of pics of my cat on my quilts as he loves to "help" me when I am sewing:)
This is my favourite photo of SImba which I took when I made the mini Swoon quilt in the For The Love of Solids swap which I sent to Leona - I have this one as my screen saver.
It is winter still here in Australia and we have had some very cold nights lately so Simba often comes in at night to sleep on the bed - thisis him snuggled up in my Ruby Sparkles quilt.
And he doesn't just sleep on the bed - he likes to sleep right on top of me, and if I roll over he gets tipped off.
He has a bandage on his leg at the moment as he was in a bit of a fight with the black cat who lives down the street - we should have taken out Pet Insurance when we got him 4 years ago!!
Linking up with the Pets on Quilts linky party at Lily Pad quilting - so hop on over to see lots of cute pets on some lovely quilts.
Kirsten.

Hi Kirsten! Simba is so beautiful and I love his colour! Cats are so cute when sleeping curled like that - they know to find a comfortable place. Your quilts are always so beautiful and carefully done! x Teje
He is so dang cute! Great photos!
Simba looks so cuddly. Great pics.
Love Simba snuggled in Ruby Sparkles. Poor kitty. Oh how I know about pet insurance wishes...my Abby girl had surgery this Spring.
LOVE the quilt! Simba is one lucky cat!
Oh my gosh!! Beautiful quilts and one cutie-patootie kitty!!! Thanks for sharing your love!
such a cutie and lovely quilts too :)
I love the bright colored swoon quilt. My cats help a lot too.
I think Simba has taken a liking to that quilt...will you ever get it back from him.
Simba is very sweet, when he is curling on the quilt! Lovely photos!
What a poser he is lol
He looks so comfortable on those beautiful quilts.
Simba looks like he enjoys the quilts a lot. Your quilts are wonderful. My best friend and her husband went to visit family in Australia and they had a few days in your part of the country two summers ago. They loved their journey to the land down under.

:) He looks like your Ruby Sparkles was made just for him! Our cat sleeps with us - often ON my legs. I think it's really cool to have a fursome friend want to snuggle with you. Except when you're trying to roll over at 2:30 and it's so darned hard because of the warm dead weight across your legs! lol
love the 'love of solids' shot - i can see why it's your screen saver :)
Gorgeous quilts for such a sweet ball of fur :-)
Just a sweet curl-of-fur to bundle up with!
Beautiful cat and quilt - and how good! (My cats always tear the bandages off!
Thanks for your comment on Django
Simba is such a cutie and looks very, very comfortable on your beautiful quilts! I hope his leg gets better soon!
Poor baby, but he certainly looks comfy sleeping on your beautiful quilt. Thanks.
Poor Simba...I guess there is "one" in every neighborhood..LOL. Wonderful kitty and quilts!
Wonderful quilting. Mom needs to learn how to do that Mo Betta.
Simba obviously loves your quilt.
You've obviously done a good job - Kitteh approval is the best! Thanks for sharing Simba and your quilts with us :o)
Simba is really cute!
What a cutie! He looks so snuggly....but I bet when that villain black cat is around, he is fierce! Thank you for joining in our Pets party!
Beautiful work and a pretty cat.
oh I love the Swoon kitty!
That is obviously a very comfortable and snuggly quilt.
I love the mini Swoon quilt and the picture of it. Simba is a doll.
How adorable is that? What a sweet helper you have. And love that photo art where you do everything else black and white and focus on something in color.......Beautiful quilts
Really beautiful quilts and what great pictures of Simba-love the one where he is on his back.
Your quilting and quilts are lovely - and Simba is quite debonaire.
What beautiful quilts and an adorable pet.
I love the fast asleep on their back pictures - makes you just want to snuggle up close doesn't it?
