Inside is a layer of the shiny batting you use for casserole covers, shiny side UP, to reflect the heat back to the kitty bum, and a layer of wool batting, if you have it, or fleece. Zipper the cover over the batting ( zipper instead of sew, its nice to be able to wash the cover). I did make one with snaps, but the little rascals wanted to see what was inside their new bad and I was sorry. These self heaters work so well I made one for my own bum for stadium seats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-9662297451915712552023-03-06T23:52:36.127-05:002023-03-06T23:52:36.127-05:00It was great to see your sheet quilt!

I bought sheets those very same sheets and "wallpapered" my first efficiency apartment with them using liquid starch, so I could easily peel them off when I left the apartment. I made curtains and laminated roller shades from the same fabric, and bought a quilted bedspread in the same print and from it made covers for my day bed and bolsters. When my Daddy would come to visit, he teased that he couldn't find the sofa because everything blended in together. Wish I had a picture, but your post stirred up the pictures in my mind.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446925005290915529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-91925208220053509392023-03-05T14:07:16.925-05:002023-03-05T14:07:16.925-05:00Just mentioned on IGQuilt 2023 that my first quilt...Just mentioned on IGQuilt 2023 that my first quilt was a double sheet tied quilt that I made with my aunt.

My maternal grandmother, b in 1895, made most of her dresses....many of her summer dresses were seersucker, with a madras plaid print. These were perfect for wearing at the beach, down on Cape Cod....still wearing her shoes & girdle. Plus I recognize that bed sheet immediately, circa, 1960's with avocado green kitchen appliances.

I always admire those who can do that. Lola certainly has good taste, doesn't she?

She was an accomplished hand quilter who loved to make whole cloth quilts. She always used a knife edge finish and would never win at quilt shows because the judges always wanted a bound edge - she would never do it because she didn't like the look of binding on a whole cloth quilt. Our quilting group also had an Oliso and a NOT Oliso iron....lets just say, that is NOT a good idea!

He/she would sit by the sliding patio doors and look in and I think he/she saw our kitty in the house. We couldn't get near him/her. We think he/she was dropped off in our area and just left to fend for himself/herself. We worried about the coyotes but there was nothing we could do. I've thought about that kitty a lot since we moved last year and wonder if he/she survived.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012718481371649308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-63335976452100999042023-03-03T09:56:03.962-05:002023-03-03T09:56:03.962-05:00Tula looks like the kittie I fed for a few months,...Tula looks like the kittie I fed for a few months, her name was Lady.

I wouldn't be reasonable about a regular iron. Tula is precious. Sounds like she likes people but isn't ready to commit. I made the mistake of thinking a young cat who I thought was my neighbor's cat was a male. Six months later I adopted her, her kittens and later the father. Millie still won't let me pick her up but she definitely calls this home. Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08183663818036548755noreply@blogger.com
