    Default No Surprise, my cat loves quilts

    Every time I am working on a quilt, I seem to have a lap cat. If I put it down, the cat claims it.

    My cats are banished from my sewing room but seem to sneak in on a regular basis. Often the only way I'll know is if one of them is pawing at my leg and demanding to be cuddled. Your tabby is beautiful and reminds me of my username-sake, who has been gone for many a year.

    That's because your cat has excellent taste! The quilts your kitty has selected are gorgeous ...

    Cats love quilts. I have 3 and they prefer quilts to any other kind of bedding. They must feel the love and effort that you put into quilting.

    My dog loves to lay on the blocks I lay out on the floor. I call her my "harshest" quilt critic. We are constantly at odds ;-). I want the practicality of actually being able to sew the blocks together so I like flatly placed blocks. She wants comfy-ness, so thinks that scrunching up the blocks is a better arrangement ;-). Her arguments are valid, I say, just not practical. We butt heads, LOL.

    I made Darla her own "quilt," two pieces of ugly fabric quilted together with my ancient longarm. She absolutely loves it.

    Darla with her "sn-ugly".

    Darla, incorporating her own "design ideas" ;-) into one of my quilts.

    Oh Darla... while your design ideas are valid (eye roll here), sweetie, we think we'll leave it the way Momma wants it... Your opinion is always appreciated, of course!! hahaha... don't they always have an "opinion"!! Love your quilt, by the way... QM's too!!

    Much like Darla, my cat can "snowplow" quilt blocks on the floor before I know she's in the room.
