They are doing Quality Control.
Mom is a quilter
Her quilt needs my approval
I must lay on it
Seven is QC
Approving quilts is her task
Hair removal mine
I've had several Quality Control Cats. One time Fluffy was asleep in the bed room when my mom was over. I brought several quilt tops into the living room and before I got the first one shook out, she was under it! Seven is my current cat. When I have blocks laid out on the floor, or more recently a quilt top since I now have a design wall, if she doesn't lay down on the quilt blocks/top, I know she doesn't like it.

Mine spent the night tearing all the batting out of a quilt I had attached to the long arm.
He also will lay on the fabric that Im cutting on my mat.
They do love quilts as the best place to lay.
But he also worries about me when I sneeze and comes running.

Well to begin with she is helping, and I just wanted to say to you how lucky you are to have your tortie w/you. I miss my Ellie so much and it has been over 18 months. The other cats are great, but when you have been loved by tortie you really know love. I believe she is just showing you how much she loves being with you and if this is what you are doing she will be right there with you.

Kola usually stays off my current projects. She has taken to using my LA as her personal hammock. So I keep a sheet over my work. She does love to mess with paper patterns, you know the ones from McCall's, Simplicity etc...
If I have a large project going on in my main sewing room. I will close the door in the evening when I am done. Because who knows what cats do when we are sleeping.

I have 3 cats. One likes to lay on my folded piles of fabric that are sitting there waiting to be cut. One likes to try and lay on the fabric on the cutting mat as I am cutting it. The kitten has decided that it is his job lay on, jump on, crawl under, pull and tug on the actual work in progress. It took me THREE DAYS to put a simple border on my latest quilt top because of all his help. I can't even begin to imagine how fun it is going to be to get this sandwiched and basted.
