good morning folks ~
here he is. several students and customers have asked about “when i was going to do a bobcat?” well, here it is: my montana bobcat collage, titled “bobcat prowl.” he’s right at home, and on the hunt in “the bob” ~ that’s the montana nickname for the Bob Marshall Wilderness area in the rocky mountains. as a young kid, we went into the area by horseback. great memories for me!
and so he is inspired from blue and gold. {of course ~ the msu bobcat colors}. i collaged him with not only blues and golds, but a bit of brown and black, and a splash of beige and a bobbed tail in white as well as the round cheeks. fun!! the dark navy-ish and royal blue night sky makes a great background in this wintery scene as the cat is on the hunt, and sauntering through some snowy drifts, too!
and for quilting, just two thread choices; a magnifico polyester in blue, and a razzle dazzle in sapphire blue {a dark navy, really} to add a touch of glow and light to the dark night evening.
i finished with a curvy bottom, and the binding is a “cat eye” type of fabric {as i call it} ~ a nice touch in gold, and it’s all cut on the bias.
my new pattern of course, like all the others, can be found locally, in great falls at the quilt-away and also at the sewing palace bernina in helena {love our local shops}… and in my etsy store, too. and you can get it on SALE for 25% off ~ still! hurry, only until november 1st. coupon code: GLORY26.
thank you for your support! i am so very appreciative, and it is my great pleasure and honor to do so! i love to add something special to each order, and i am so blessed to be able to pursue “my great adventure” as i develop other ideas and patterns.

looks like we’re in the weather path to receive a bit of wind and even possibly snow today! november is upon us, and i cannot believe it’s time for winter weather already. {but then again, here in montana, we should always be ready}. it’s all good!
and i’m grateful for each and every one of you and have a blessed day wherever you are.
thank you so much for stopping by!
{GO CATS!}

I love the high contrast with the background on this one!
Great new pattern, and your background is excellent.
I love this Leslie, very beautiful, so many different shapes and colors, love the snow too!
Leslie, the ground and feeling of movement is remarkable!!!
Beautiful!!! He is certainly is an awesome kitty! 🙂
Your choice of flowers on the face was perfect ! He looks like he's walking through a blustery snow storm.
