I love black cats! I grew up with two of them (Nasty and Gandalf) but I didn’t include any in the Cat Quilt pattern because it’s tricky to do the eyes. All the cats in the quilt had simple oval eyes. Having the eyes match made all the wildly different cats look like they went together, but they wouldn’t have shown up on black faces, so I didn’t include any. I also didn’t use any dark grey or brown for the same reason.
So especially for Halloween I created this spooky black cat applique – a single block applique pattern – with huge luminous green eyes. I love her! And the pattern is the same size as the blocks in the Cat Quilt so you can mix and match if you like. 🙂
The pattern also includes instructions for a hanging sleeve so you can make it into a Halloween wall decoration. It’s easy!

I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you mean by subscribe first. I became a subscriber to your YouTube videos and then a member to your web-site in one day. the pattern I downloaded (SpookyCat & Coffee sleeve) did not have the full size there for me to printout and cut from. What happened?
So you were able to download the patterns, but they were missing the pages with the pattern pieces? That’s very strange. It sounds like something may have been glitching – I would just try it again. The instructions and patter pieces are all in one file – the pattern pieces are at the end. And make sure you give it time to download the entire file – sometimes it takes a few minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
Thank you for this pattern! I love black cats and have had several. My current companion is named Shadow. He is the most curious cat I’ve known

Hello 🙂
I discovered your site through International Quilter’s Assn. and I’m so happy I did! Your patterns are absolutely adorable {hmmm.. my exclamation point is showing up as a lower case ‘L’} Anyway!! {see? hahaha}, my youngest daughter has TWO black kitties – Pierre and Cowboy – and I am so excited to make her two of these with purple-ish / gray batiks for backgrounds. The only thing I’ll change is for one kitty, one of the ears I’ll flop over as Cowboy has a funny ear. That way they will always know who’s who. hahaha
Now I’m going to go search for the kitty quilt you mentioned because my oldest daughter has ….. SIX kitties. Yeah. She and her hubbie are such sweethearts and suckers for a sad sack story. All rescue cats.
Thank you [exclamation point]
