I was looking through my quilt room last night trying to figure out what to put together for my 200th posting "prize." (don't worry I am out of gurgling cods....) I think I finally have something that just about anyone would like - fabric! So if you comment on this post before Monday morning (England time!) I will put you into the drawing! What could be easier than that!
Now this will be primarily a post about cats...Italian cats, Greek cats and Turkish cats. Though to be honest they all pretty much meow'd alike! The cats in Turkey seemed to be so accustomed to Tourists they posed on the ruins! The ones on the islands were friendly but harder to catch with the camera.
Wasn't it nice of this one to point out the mosaics for me!!
The white cat above followed us all around the monastery at Patmos. I feel a med-cat quilt coming on.....
I enjoy reading your blog. Love the pictures of the cats, especially the one with the mosiac tiles, wow can't you see a quilt wanting to be made from that design...
ReplyDeletedid you take more pictures of that ?
It is so interesting!
thanks for sharing

Your blog is amongst the top 5 must reads on my list every day. I can keep up to speed on what is happening in the UK and wish I was with you when you discover another National Trust house. Congrats on your 199th and soon to be 200th post.
ReplyDeleteDid you take any more pictures of the ruins in Turkey?
I can't wait to see the Med-cat quilt! (For a play on the theme - you could back it with Vet (doctor) cat fabrics... - I have 3 versions & a charm form a 4th... So they are out there!)
ReplyDeleteOh & if I win, I'll take a gurgling cod!
Congrats on your 200th post. Too bad you're out of gurgling cods. Lol. I'd love to be in your draw.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting to post 200...did you ever think you'd have so much to say? I know I never thought anyone would read when I started writing! I've enjoyed the pictures of your trip. I'd love to be in your drawing!
ReplyDeleteI also love reading your blog :) I too saw many cats when I traveled to Argentina to visit my daughter. They even have a cat park in Buenos Aires.
ReplyDeleteA cat and cod quilt perhaps? Well done on so many posts - they are always a good read :O)
ReplyDeleteI'm close to 200 posts. I don't know what I'm going to do. Loving the kitties.

Congrats, and I love the way the cat's shadow enhances the colors in the mosaic picture. SIGH... Sew many quilts, sew many places to see, sew little time!
ReplyDeleteI hope there are more cat pictures, these are so beautiful.Like everyone else, I love the mosaic one, I'd like to base a painting on it.
ReplyDeleteLove the kitties - that little tabby is the image of my Tizer. A med-cat quilt will be amazing. Sad that there will be no gurgling cod stories - lol !
ReplyDeleteMeow. Congrats on 200, best wishes for many more!
ReplyDeleteI was on a similar tour around to several Islands a few years ago. Our ship the Titan, was comfortable. We visited the Ephasis as well as Mykinos, Crete, Santorini, Rodes and Athens. Was a great 17 day tour. A trip of a lifetime for us.. Loved the cats and it took everything not to pat them. Hubby kept saying, dirty, dirty.....oh well.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations from Gail in Atlantic Canada...
I like all the cats, and like that you are interested in taking pics of them!! I love cats, but my husband is a dog person, so guess what we have... Congratulations on so many posts, wow!

Count me in as one who's sorry there's not to be a gurgling cod for the prize!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun seeing the cats from different countries. We are not owned by a cat (DH is too allergic) but I have taken to buying at least one cat calendar every year :- )
Ok, I'm probably late for the draw on this one but I just wanted to say congrats on almost 200 posts and those cat pictures are way too cute!
ReplyDeleteIf it's not too late, I would love to be in your drawing. Thanks and congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on reaching 200 posts - almost! I enjoy reading your blog and hope you have many more posts in the future.
ReplyDeleteThat's what comes of having a manically busy household with the kids - I spend all my time supporting sports activities and miss out on the draw - oh well never mind - love the cat pictures :o)
ReplyDeleteOh and I was so hoping for a gurgling cod!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Congrats on your milestone.
ReplyDeleteLove, love the cat photos. They are just excellent. Especially the mosaic-pointing cat and the cat sitting on the....the....I don't know what it is!
