(g)  Sounds like me.  The cat pattern book that I loaned Penny is indeed "The 
Cat's Meow".  Cute book IMO, I like it a lot.  :-)  "Bowsers and Meowsers" I 
haven't decided if I want to buy yet.  
And I only get to two quilt shows a year, not having a car right now... :-(  
but I go shopping by bus whenever I can.  :-)  The big annual San Diego Quilt 
Show is next month (Aug.) and I'm really looking forward to it.  Last year's 
had over 300 quilts (and I got to work in the wearable art section, which 
means I got to white-glove-fondle all the goodies there. LOADS of fun!)  :-) 
BTW I have a cat pattern, it's 17 different shapes intended for machine 
applique according to the pattern. The name is "Too Many Cats" (heh) by 
Deborah Konchinsky. Pattern number is #8905, copyright 1989.  I got it just 
recently though at the wearable arts fashion show last month at the Bazaar 
del Mundo here in San Diego.  The contact info on the back is 
The Critter Pattern Works
592 Old Rt 22
Lenhartsville PA 19534
(610)756-3381
The have a similar pattern that is all cat heads, and another cat one after 
that, but I don't remember the details of it.. I just have this one, it was 
the one I liked best, so I bought it.  :-)  It was $9.  It has fish, mice, 
and butterfly patterns too, being things that cats like.  
On the back, it lists a ton of different patterns that this company carries, 
like rabbits, exotic birds, dogs, teddy bears, farmyard friends, dinosaurs, 
fish, horses, monkeys, butterflies, lizards, seashells, elephants, dolphins, 
turtles, and even a Noah's Ark pattern. (whew!)  
No connection with them BTW other than I like their patterns.  :-) 
Guess I should shut up now and let everyone get on with their email.
