Haven't you heard? "No quilt is complete without a few pet hairs." Just kidding, of course. You can be a perfectly accomplished quilter without them, and I suspect that a judge in a show might not look kindly on a quilt "decorated" with pet hair.
I refer to my pets as the "supervisors." The cats especially love to park themselves right in the middle of whatever I am trying to do. However, I will probably never enter a quilt in a show.
