My friend was hoping for a cat mat with bright colors, considering there is no color on Willow. Winning this lovely fabric and pattern from Sandra Kaye's blog was perfect!
I started with the pattern, but quickly realized that this pattern was not (completely) meant to be. All of a sudden, I was thinking that the mat needed a slender kitty on it!
This is what I ended up with! This mat will be taken to cat shows and to food demos. Because I wanted the cat mat to have extra sturdiness, I used a heaver weight twill for the back. I love it!
