Laurel Burch's Legacy at my house

Laurel Burch has been gone for 10 years this year, but her images are everywhere. Her studio is still alive and active!

I have a number of her cat earrings (acquired long before I had cats), and now that I have cats I have cat dishes featuring her designs. About 10 years ago I found her mermaid fabrics and bought a bunch. I was planning a quilt that never happened (or at least not yet).  I fell in love with a largish panel with a mermaid and friends (I have a mermaid themed bathroom). 

Last week I was informed that a co-worker was having a baby, and the baby's room theme is mermaids. A work baby shower gift was required. Well, I pulled out one of the mermaid panels, washed it up, and found a blank canvas pillow at Michael's. The whole panel does not fit but enough of it does.  Too cute!



While I was working on it, Louis enjoyed a snack next to a Laurel kitty placemat...yep, he found his way in after clawing open a hole, guess the cat food dish wasn't full enough!





Now, where did I put that Laurel Burch gift wrap?
