Baby Patches Nip-A-Thon Item 4

Usually when you have an auction like this, you save the best, most sought-after, item for last. I'm in the unique position where ALL the donated items are the best. I'm auctioning them off in the order they were donated.

Parker and Maggie making sure Mom rests.
Item 4 was donated by the Kruse Kats, MaggieTKat and ParkerSKat, and was lovingly hand-made by their mom, Wanda, who is very involved with anipal charity work. Of course, Maggie and Parker supervised and helped when they could.

The name of the quilt is "Baby Patches and the Butterflies." This gorgeous quilt measures about 32" x 38". The binding is the darker pink (almost salmon)—Did someone say salmon??—and Wanda will probably add beads or other embellishments to the quilt. If pink isn't to the winner's liking, the binding can be changed.

All materials are 100% cotton—except for the beads—and since the quilt doesn't contain fire retardant batting, it's not suggested for children's rooms.

Wanda is about one-third finished with the quilt and promises that the winner will have the quilt in their paws within 4 weeks after the bid is finalized.

The starting bid for this gorgeous hand-made quilt will be $30. Leave your bid in a comment. Bidding will be open until 12:00 noon EDT on July 9th. I'm leaving it open an extra day to give everyone ample opportunity to get their bids in. Also TW is probably too lazy to blog on Sunday anyway. Please bid whole dollar amounts. The best part is that Maggie has agreed to ship anywhere. All money raised will go directly to Baby Patches. TW will not even let me sniff it!

We'll have a lot more items to auction next week so if you don't win the quilt, maybe you will win the painting of your pet by Cheshire Cat's human, jewelry lovingly made by Whskr, a chunky lace shawlette from @Morriscat, a pet necklace from @MissBassie and—wait for it!—a painting by Mariodacat's Dad! I'm so excited to have such great and talented furrends helping out. Thanks to everyone who's bid and for the artists who have donated. Also, my sincere thanks to everyone who's retweeted the link for, or blogged about this auction. Lastly, thanks to everyone who visits, even if they're not bidding. It's very much appreciated!

If you're on Twitter, join us tonight for the #KitPawty, where we will be fundraising for Chief Kit, Baby Patches. There'll be prizes to win and amazing anipals to meet. I'll be spinning tunes from 7:30-8:30. If you're not on Twitter, now may be the time to join and pawty with us. Check out these noms!  Anipals rock!

Due to all the work involved in coordinating this auction, and my furrends know how allergic TW is to work, I haven't been able to comment on everyone's blog. I've been reading as many as I can and will comment again soon. All this computer work is making TW's vertigo act up. Hope I don't have to start typing too! Worse still, I hope Pop doesn't have to do this.


THIS AUCTION IS NOW CLOSED. Concatulations to @Smokey8.

  1. Wanda's quilts are always so beautiful, but this one is exceptionally so. Maybe it's because I do like that color combination. I'll start the bid with $30.

  14. CK - MomKatt wants to bid next week on the cat jewelry (necklace?) and she looked at the lady's page that makes them & wondered if the winner of that could choose a cat necklace or a hooman necklace? She'd like to get a hooman necklace if she won 'cause we're not really into adornment 'round here. (I figure the shine in my fur is dazzling enough! MOL)

    Thanks, furriend! This auction & you both ROCK!

    PURRS!
