Giordano Studios

This sweet kitten fabric panel from Giordano Studios features realistic, beautifully painted cats and garden wildlife. It’s a lovely choice for cat lovers and quilters. The large centre scene shows a fluffy tabby kitten and a black and white kitten sitting side by side in a sunny meadow. Around them are tall grasses, blue and pink wildflowers, fluttering butterflies and small songbirds, all against a warm golden sky.

The centre picture is framed by six smaller blocks, each with a green leafy border. They include a fluffy tabby kitten portrait, a pair of white kittens with a bluebird, kittens tumbling out of a blue wheelbarrow, a ginger kitten portrait, a chipmunk perched on a tree stump, and a garden scene with a watering can, terracotta pots and a blue jay. All the blocks sit on a soft sage and cream background.

This printed quilt panel gives you plenty of options. Use the centre scene as a quick, eye-catching feature for a cot quilt, lap quilt or wall hanging. Cut out the smaller blocks for cushions, tote bags, mug rugs or placemats. The panel is great for beginners because the design is already done, and experienced quilters can frame each block with borders and sashing for a bigger project.

The panel would make a thoughtful handmade gift for a child’s bedroom, a nursery or anyone who adores cats. Its gentle country-garden look and detailed artwork suit quilting, patchwork and other sewing projects throughout the home.
