It's nice to hear a cat owner who restricts their cat away from sewing projects. I took our guild quilt to the LA'er yesterday. If it had been my quilt, I'd have left with my quilt as fast as I could. She tried once to get the cat off our finished top, but it kept coming back to where she was discussing our project. It's a good thing she's an excellent longarmer!! I was not happy with the scene.
