Some weeks ago, I saw a pattern for a Halloween wall hanging
called Cat-BOO-ccino. It was 24x30” with a cat, a bat, a teacup and saucer and a
spider. I thought the idea was clever, but lacking in execution. The cat, bat
and cup seemed out of proportion. I don’t drink cappuccino, but I feel the drink is all about the pattern in the foamy top – which doesn’t show in the
quilt design. The spider and the cat’s eyes were round appliques (not my favorite). I
did like the Dear Stella prints, some with tiny cat’s heads and others with a
pattern reminiscent of Haunted Mansion wallpaper. So, I bought the fabric
and designed my own 20x36” quilt with a moon mug, a larger cat and bat. I swapped the spider for a pumpkin, and I'll sew on button eyes after it's quilted. I’m happy with it, but
it isn’t Cat-BOO-ccino anymore. What should I call this?
