Frostin's Gizzy

Wow , did my humans have a suprise for me this week. On Tuesday in the mail there was this package and it was adressed to me and of course I had my humans open it for me. They laid a new Gizzy quilt on the floor for me and at first I was not sure what to do about it. Monika picked me up and placed me on it and I sniffed it a bit then turned about and sniffed it some more before I settled to relax on it. After I was done Boots decided to try it out. She is smitten with me and I with her.

BOOTS: I do not know what that boy is talking about me being smitten with him huh. I do

like the Gizzy quilt though .

Ok so I let her enjoy it for abit and then the humans moved it to the foot of the bed where I settled for a nice long nap. Thanks Millie and Millie's mom.

Captain Casper's Gizzy Quilt

I have been honored to recieve a gizzy quilt made by

Mom Lynn. My girlfriend Missy Blue Eyes sent it

to me. Both Missy and I have blue eyes. KC Missy's

sister had her paw into sending it too.

It is so nice to lay on, comfy and cozy. Feels sooo good.

The name of my gizzy quilt is Blue Bell.

I let my sister Cleo try it out too. She doesn't have
blue eyes though.

Gizzy Quilt for Trouble

Our new addition, Trouble got his very own Gizzy Quilt. And he is enjoying it very much. It looks so beautiful with his coloring, I just want to keep taking pictures of him on it. You can see more pictures of the quilt (and Madness hijacking it) here.

A Gizzy from Parker

This lovely Gizzy quilt arrived November 24, 2008. At that time our computer was down, so we're a bit late (what an understatement!) making this post.

But first and foremost, we want to tell you what a wonderful surprise it was to receive this -- last year. Millie's mom Lynne made this Orange Crush Gizzy to help raise medical funds for Moki. Perfectly Parker won it, but asked Millie's mom to send it to us. Wasn't that sweet? We were thrilled. It was cold in November, December, January, February, and much of March. We could have used another Gizzy. But Jan said, noooooo, not yet, we need to keep it clean and in the original package so you don't forget to post the photos.

We were going to show you how beautifully it was folded and wrapped in lace ribbon, but Jan suddenly decided it was time to start catching up and .... Well, she cut the ribbon and laid out the Gizzy so she could take photos to add to the ones she took when it arrived.

Only, she couldn't find the original photos. Anywhere. Not on the computer. Not on a CD. But...but...but... Her brother painstakenly rescued all her lost photos. Where did they go now?

Nowhere. After a frantic search, she then read her note on the package: Photograph & post to JFF & Lynne's Gizzy blog. Oh, yeah, that's why Jan saved it with the ribbon intact and wouldn't let us use the Gizzy. For 6 months! And it was cold most of those months.! But back then there wasn't any use to take pictures, since we didn't have a computer . Jan says she's sorry, but we're wondering if we can vote her off the computer. (That's a pretty big blooper, Jan!)

Samaritan admires the back of the Gizzy. A pretty orange.

Rusty is the first to quality test it.

Yep, comfortable to sit on and look to left or right.

No, Sam, I'm not moving so you can climb up here and sit on it. You'd collapse the stand, anyway.

Percy: Yes, Sam, I know you like your comforts, but it's my turn to test this Gizzy.

Yep, soft enough to flop onto my side from a standing position.

I vote we give it a 10 for looks and comfort.

Thanks, Parker! Now that Jan has finally stuck her pinky in the catch-up pile, we can use our "new" Gizzy.

Hey, waaaaaaaaaaaaait! Jan, that's a kitty Gizzy. Why are you putting it on Buddy's chair?

Bizzy for Gizzy quilts are not just for cats!!

Bella loves her new quilt! She is a not a cat! She is however, a princess! Princess Isabella, Bella for short. She finds her new quilt to be delightful to nest on and the colors make her day and her owner's day brighter! BOWWW WOWWWW!! RUFF RUFF!

This is Pyewacket of topcatrules on her new Christmas present.

She will sometimes let her sisters Tigger and Trixie sit on it, but

she knows it is really hers. She loves it!

Kipling Loves Gizzy Quilts

Dear Mom Lynne and Millie,

Thank you for our beautiful Gizzy Quilts! They arrived this afternoon and Kipling immediately claimed both of the quilts. (see photo) I reminded him that he had to share with the other kitties so he suggested that they (there's nine other kitties) could share the orange Gizzy with him but the purple was reserved for his exclusive use. (sigh) I will have to talk to him again.

Thank you again for the beautiful Gizzy Quilts! We are delighted with them!!!

Warmest regards,

Midori and kitties

Isis got a Gizzy Quilt!

We got something very special today. Darling Millie sent us a beeuteeful Gizzy quilt! We have been quite well behaved about it. When mom opened the package, we all took turns sniffing the good smells. But in the end it looks like Isis has put the major claim on it. She hasn't moved off it for 6 hours so far!

Thank you Millie and Mum!

Triple Play!

We went to my MIL's house after dinner last night to deliver the beautiful Gizzy Quilts for Star and Rufus. Of course, step one was to "find the cats" ~ they are so used to living with just one person that they're extremely absent whenever anyone else is around (under the bed is their preferred hiding spot).

Took a little while to explain the 'Millie Magic' factor to MIL ~ she just couldn't get her head wrapped around why I, as a quilter, would send away for kitty quilts...


This is Star, swaddled in her Gizzy Quilt (not a happy kitty at this point).

However, after about 30 minutes and a few kitty treats strategically placed at the center of her Gizzy Quilt, Star did venture forth!

Meanwhile, DH had captured Rufus ~ this is how Rufus spends his evenings, curled up against MIL on the couch (reportedly, when we are not there, she has one cat on each side) ~ now Rufus can enjoy his Gizzy Quilt and get his ears scratched...

We had given our Angel her Gizzy Quilt just before we went over to MIL's house ~ this is where she was when we left and she hadn't moved a whisker when we came home. Angel adores her new Gizzy Quilt! She was curled up in it again this morning before I left for work ~ awesome!

Thanks Lynne and Millie ~

Not that we aren't already spoiled or anything....thanks to our friend Lynne all the way in New Hamp. for making this for us and to Millie for allowing her to do so! Us Hollywood cats love it!

SophieKitty Loves Her Gizzy Quilt

I received this as a gift from my sooper dooper friend, Poppy Q. I've taken a lot of good naps on it already. Millie's mom does beautiful work. And, of course, Millie does a great job of quality inspection!

Madness

Oh I love my pretty African Gizzy Quilt. There are more pictures here. Now I don't have to steal Bubbles' quilt anymore.

Just look how comfy I am here. Ready for my nap.

Thank you Miliie!

Faz

This is Faz with her quilt. Faz lives in the UK, near Wimbledon, where they will be having a little tennis "do" next month.
Doesn't her Gizzy quilt compliment her furs nicely?

JUNIOR SENT ME THIS BEAUTIFUL GIZZY QUILT!!

My dearest friend Junior sent me this stunning Victorian colored Gizzy quilt. I just love it to pieces.(well, not literally to pieces:) The fabric was gotted just for me because I am a Victorian kitty and these soft colors soothe me. I am a lucky kitty and just wish each cat in the world could feel as lucky as all of us here at the cat Blogosphere...Thank Millie's mommy and Juniors mommy for my treasure! Love Miss Peach

Derby's Quilt

I am a little slow it getting a picture posted too, just like Angus. Mum was cleaning up stuff and found the instructions on how to be able to post. So here I am in all of my glory, sitting on this glorious quilt that I won in a raffle to help out Churchill.

The colors of the quilt go so nicely with my furs, all golden and orange in colors.

Thank you Darling Millie mom Lynne for being such a creative purrson.

Late? Who's Late?

Well, it would seem that I am late! It's only been 4 months that I've been enjoyin' the most comfortable bit o' cotton n' color a fella could have and I've neglected to properly thank the ever-crafty Millie and her mom!
Not only does it match my furs and compliment my Staff's decor, but it has a little Eau de Millie on it, which I sniff periodically to remind me of the gentle paws that helped create such a comfortable quilt.
Thank you ever so, Millie-and my humble thanks to your able mom!

Mom did not tell us to expect something in the mail so we were really surprised to see a package from Millie and her Mom. Of course we had to open it right away. Just look at our beautiful Gizzy quilts! They are perfect for our home and for us!

We all love them both but Jemima has claimed this one as her own. She likes to be wrapped up in it because it helps keep her nice and warm.

She also likes to sleep on top of it. See how the colors match our walls? I think here Jemima was ready for the clicky flashy box to stop going off.

Ruckus claimed this Gizzy right away too. Here you can see her telling the rest of us to back off!

Do you see the beautiful peachy colored blocks of these quilts? They are really brighter than the pictures show. The color is called Firewater and it exactly matches the color of the walls in the diningroom that is right next to the livingroom. Mom did not get any pictures of the quilts in that room because we would not let her move them!

Zeke and Sushi and I, Tiger Lily, have all had turns on the quilts too but Mom has been too slow to take pictures. Maybe we will let her catch us with her clicky flashy box sometime but I decided not to wait until then to post the ones we do have.

Thank you Darling Millie and your Mom! We are so happy with our Gizzy quilts!!!

The Furry Bambinos Love Their Quilts!

Mommy ordered us Gizzy Quilts as a special Christmas gift.  Mommy asked us what our color preferences were, and then she contacted Millie's Mom, Lynne, about making the Gizzy Quilts.  Millie's Mom is furry talented indeed!

 When the quilts arrived, of course Panda Bear and I (Padre) had to sniff the box:

Not to be outdone, Meerkat also gave the box a thorough sniffing:

And then we had to sniff our quilts.  Here I am on my "Warm Cheery Blue" Gizzy Quilt:

And this is Meerkat on her "Brown and Beige Kalahari" Gizzy Quilt (note how well her quilt matches her furs):

And this is Panda Bear checking out his "Dark Brick Red" Gizzy Quilt.  Note how well Panda Bear's quilt matches the curtains.  (You can see the curtains better in the picture of Meerkat on her quilt.)

Plus, here is a photo of Panda Bear on my "Warm Cheery Blue" Gizzy Quilt.  Apparently, Panda Bear is not particular about where he stretches out:

Obviously, I have some "educating" to do here!

The Gizzy Quilts are absolutely beautiful.  The photos do not do the quilts justice!  Plus, it was so much fun to get to choose exactly the colors that we wanted!  Thanks so much for creating such beautiful Gizzy Quilts for us, "Mom Lynne"!
