Stairway to Cat Heaven pattern

Hello folks,

McCall's offered a pattern called "Stairway to Cat Heaven" for ages, for free, on their website. Essentially, it was a pile of steps done in black and dark blue 9-patches, and it was stairstepped from the upper left down to the lower right. Four cats were sitting on these steps or washing themselves, and in the upper right hand corner was a crescent moon.

I THOUGHT I saved this pattern, and I was SURE I printed it out. Now I can't find it on my computer, or in my printed off patterns, and the website no longer offers it for free....

So does anyone else have this pattern saved on their computer? Can you help me out?

Jo, I don't have the pattern, but it sounds really cute. I'd love to have it too.

you can't download the pdf of the cats anymore but you can probably take the gif file and blow it up enough to make your own pattern.

Have fun! Allison

Oh Allison, thank you so much! I had seen this pattern years ago and always regretted not having saved it when it was available. You are a better computer sleuth than I am to find it. I will be making this as a gift for my sister who is a cat fanatic!

Allison, how does the web archive site work? i went there and put mccallsquilting.com into the search box which brings up all the dates. is there a way to search for a particular item like all those wee applique designs they used to have there free, then deleted them all to put onto a buy it disc. i saved some of them but lost them in a crash here on old computer. this site is new to me, i really like it tho, if only i could work out how it works. j.

This time round I didn't find this thru the archive site but as a reference from someone else's current site. I think if you're going through the Wayback Machine (ie web.archive.org) you'd do a search with your expired link. IIRC I've done this with an expired bookmark to recover whatever it was I had originally saved. It is not perfect, in that links in an archived page are not directly active but with a bit of work you can dig things up.

A couple of suggestions - if there is a page you like and you want to keep the content you can always save it on your hard drive as a "web page complete". Then you can access it anytime using your browser. Another thing I do sometimes is print a web page to a pdf file (see: PrimoPDF). So then I have an electronic version that is easy to send to others.
