[h2]Hi there, everyone![/h2]
We thought we’d let you know about seasonal content for Quilts and Cats of Calico. We’ve got a pretty cozy plan and we’d like to share it with you. The short story is…
[h1]Starting today, seasonal content will be coming to the game and Summer Pawstice is already here![/h1]
Throughout the year, there are plenty of beautiful, colorful, and joyful occasions around the world worth celebrating. We want to give those events some love and we want to give you an opportunity to celebrate those in the game while sewing your quilts. It just so happens that one such event is just around the corner, and [b]starting now and until July 4th, you’ll be able to revel in the mysterious charm and eerie serenity of summer, with the Summer Solstice content[/b]. In this case, though, we’re pretty sure the cats would prefer to call it the Summer Pawstice. You know what? Let’s call it that to avoid any unnecessary scratches.
[h3]What do the Seasonal Decorations Include?[/h3]
Each of the events will come with its own, unique set of decorations that will include a seasonal background, as well as a set of new decorations for the Cat Editor. The background will let you feel the unique spirit of each of the events with every quilt you sew, and the oh-so-ever rowdy felines, adorned with the new decorations, will surely prove to be a fun addition, as well.
[h2]Also, here's a trailer showcasing the new and upcoming cosmetic additions:[/h2]

[h3]Which events will be celebrated?[/h3]
All around the year and all around the world, there are numerous occasions that call for celebration. And while we can’t possibly cover all of them, we chose some that we feel come together as an interesting and diverse package. Here’s the list of the events:
- Lunar New Year
- Valentine's Day
- Sakura
- Easter
- Ramadan
- Summer Solstice
- Halloween
- Christmas/Holiday
Both the backgrounds and decoration items will be available for a set amount of time, covering the corresponding celebration. And last but not least, and maybe best of all is that [b]each and every one of these updates will come as a free, temporary in-game seasonal feature![/b]
We hope you’ll celebrate all of these lovely, vibrant times of the year with us (and the cats).
