Sugar skulls are colorful and sweet symbols of Día de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead). The Mexican holiday honors those who have passed, whose souls are thought to come back to be with their loved ones. Here is Sugar Kitty, an original art quilt by Liane Futch.

Sugar Kitty, made and quilted by Liane Futch
We love the cheerful solid colors and flower-shaped eyes of Sugar Kitty! In the tradition of Dia de los Muertos, this kitty reminds us to celebrate those who have passed, and to live our lies in a joyful way that others will continue to celebrate us after we're gone.
