I thought it was a natural progression. I have seven cats and three dogs. Live in the country, have a pet door, so they come and go at will. But they all know to find me in the craft room. Mimi is Chief Quilt Instector and usually wants a close up inspection of whatever I am doing. My avatar is a shot of Baby taking quilting lessons from Eleanor Burns, just like I do. Someday Baby will join Mimi on the sewing/cutting/ironing tables and get out of the garbage cans!
