What a great productive day you had. I need to do the same, maybe once I finish with these UFO's I have. I do already use the tiny scraps and pieces of batting for pet beds for our local humane society.

Wow you were very productive and what a wonderful thing for you to do!!!

Thank you, thank you for thinking of these poor confused furbabies, who deserve more than a cement floor to curl up on. Just think, if all of us quilters did this, how many of these precious little souls would be touched!!

Wow! That is a lot of work! But I see you have an assistant for inspecting and testing! Bless you for thinking of the animals at the shelter. Boy they'll be surprised when you show up with all of those! (I'll have to do something similar. The only thing I've done, other than money, is take over polar fleece blankets. They really appreciated them)

Wow you went from a batting explosion to comfy pet beds. What a great idea!

So, so apart from being exhausted....you are "cleansed and purified" in the tidying-up department and you've been generous and bountiful in the comforting the "lost" department. A stellar effort, thanks for sharing ....you have inspired and challenged the rest of us.

What a nice thing to do for the animals.

I love your pillows! Good for you!!!

Great idea.

Next time. :)
