Artist's Statement:

Felines are omnipresent in the lives of most quilters I know: as companions, assistants, and muses for art quilts! When I saw Alice Williams' "Puss in the Window," it reminded me of a picture I had taken of my studio helper...and I decided to interpret it using my "neon kitty" palette. The alternate title could be, How Do I Open This Darn Window?
