    The theory was that I had a dog and my husband would have a cat for comfort after his stroke. I now have a dog AND a cat. He has another cat too. All of them love quilts. Unfortunately, HIS cat shed horribly.

    I do layouts on a bed, then IMMEDIATELY pin them into rows (pin upper left corner) and stack the rows. Otherwise, I would definitely have 'help' in organizing my projects.

    One of my cats is always on my chair at my sewing machine, keeping it warm for me. When I sit in front of the tv to hand sew, two cats fight for my lap while one dog lays at my side, another half lays on my legs on the ottoman, two others on the other end of the couch. You should see the hair that is sewn into the wool applique blocks I'm working on!

    I made a quilt for my 3 dogs to share. When I gave it to them the middle dog ran off with it. Last night I picked it up and told the youngest to lie oN it. That was the worse idea I have had for a long time. Middle one grapped it and wouldn't let anyone near her . She slept on it for ages.

    Lovely quilt...beautiful cat. Those eyes are gorgeous. Cats rule and are not to be denied when it comes to quilts. Especailly those that have been handled by "those they command". That's the best!

    Mine used to 'help' by weighing the quilt down as I tried to sew on the binding.

    Reminds me of my Lulu. She's been gone a while, even longer than I've been quilting.

    I gave up on the battle and gave the cats a quilt. apparently, it is less interesting than the ones I am working on. Your Sid looks great.

    You all are so lucky to have the helpers. They are all adorable! My husband won't let me have an animal. He says it's too expensive and would tie us down. Sigh. But I enjoy the granddogs when I see them. And they too tried to jump on the blocks my daughter was trying to lay out for me on the bed! Animals just think they need to "help"!
