Don't miss this one, phoaks! Proceeds are 100% to the Mudcat. Here's the description I just put in the auction:

Okay, Mudcatters, you are in for a treat! Our own Sorcha has been busily stitching. She has spent over 20 hours in making a lap quilt/wallhanging of the Mudcat Logo! That's right, that fish jumping out of the banjo could be hanging on your wall, draped over your favourite rocker, or even hanging at your next venue. What better way to let everyone know, "I am Mudcat, hear me sing/play and, in some cases, roar!?"

Here is the info about it: 38" wide x 48" long, machine appliqued and machine quilted. Back has a bright yellow/orange tie die type water pattern. Bound in black.

I have it hanging up on my wall right now and I can tell you it looks great! This is a ONE OF KIND, 'Catters!! Handmade, never been done before and it proves that she and I are definitely not the same person! I've never quilted like this in my life!!**BG**

So, c'mon! A great way to help Max and the Mudcat out and have your own very exclusive Mudcat collectable! I know a couple of you out there are expecting first grandbabies. This is a great size to plunk a baby Mudcat on, too! Get them off in the right *key* so to speak!

Just one note: my digital camera is an early model. The picture is not as clear as I would like it to be. Sorry. There is much more detail which doesn't show very well. The neck of the banjo is made of a beautiful grayish material with a very neat, subtle design; the material for the fish has a wonderful pattern in it as well. The fish has bold balck whiskers and the water has nice details of waves stitched onto it. This is really well done, phoaks. Not only can she fiddle, she quilts!!!

Yeah! Sorcha!! Thank you, thank you!!! Let the bidding begin!!!

* shipping will be covered by the two of us *

I put mine in Kat. It'll look great on a pole sitting next to the river.

Love, annap

Looks great. I'm going to stay out of the bidding on this, because I KNOW i can't afford to pay what it is worth. Sorcha - an incredibly generous gift to the MudCat.

Wee-fresh for a wee quilt. MMario, if everybody feels that way, animaterra is going to get it for $61--how 'bout them apples? Let's put this back on top, only 40 minutes to Show Time, folks! (Yes, I am a little proud of this

Wee fresh, again during the show. I somehow inadvertendly posted a bid, this was an OOPS, but I cannot seem to post to the auction thread tonite, have tried 7-8 times and get error......but, I will darn sure take it back for $71! The homeless blankie needs a home, and I figure it's worth at least $200, so come on guys........The whole point is that Max should not have to fund the 'Cat by himself! You NEED this blankie!

Go easy Sorcha. We have 9 days to go. Let's see how it develops. Don't panic til we're near the end of the auction.

Sorcha - I just don't have the bucks that I figure this thing is worth....but with 9 days or so still left to bid....I'm sure it is going to go up and up and up. Never fear....

and for people out there who aren't familiar with the amount of work that it takes to do something like this, it is NOT unusual for a panel of this type to go for upwards of 3 to 4 hundred....

(TTCM...new acronym for The True Conscience of Mudcat)

Sorcha, is the quilt scotch-guarded?

I'm interested, but concerned that my cats will pee on it.

No, but I could. I have some. The batt is woven, not just a puff/bonded batt, and it is quite sturdy and very washable. My cats pee on stuff all the time.
