my sewing room is off limits for my cats for safety reasons. and being cats they are most curious about it, they wait by the door in hopes of sneaking in.sometimes they win and get a little up close look. but I soon put them out again.

I have 5 house cats, and lately I only let one cat in at a time, and only if he/she will lie down and go to sleep. One cat is a 7 month old kitten, and he is a holy terror in there. He only gets in if he sneaks in! I try to keep my hand sewing things (thread, needles, etc.) in a zipper bag in the living room, or things go missing, especially my thimble. I've never had one take thread off the machine, but maybe I'd better watch my dining room table where I have my Pfaff Grand Quilter set up for a large quilt project. You gotta love em, but they sure are curious!

Sorry to say you are not in the majority here! And my whole house is my sewing room![/quote
I may not be in the majority but since my cats like to eat thread I prefer to keep them safe and keep my sewing in a seperate room with a door to close

I posted earlier in this thread about Annie, our gray little kitty. Hubby changed the spark plugs in my car the other day and Annie got right in where the engine is and wires and she doubled checked what hubby was doing. Does anyone else's kitties help with car maintenance? When I clean out the car of empty water bottles, etc. Annie is in there too looking over everything and leaving little kitty paw prints here and there. Then I have to wipe things down of prints.

I quite understand! Not meaning to criticize. I just noticed when I joined how many members had cats in their avatar pictures!

I love the colors of your let sleeping cats lie wall hanging. I just finished the whole quilt of nine blocks. A lot of cats! I did make the center block with "Let sleeping dogs lie - so 4 dog heads and 32 cat heads, but it was fun. I did use the mice also. My sis had better like it. A picture is on my camera and when I get it off I will try to post it.
