Linda (Brat)...I have had two cats that 'helped' me sew and both of them just loved pulling the pins out of my pin cushions. I have no idea why they like it but seems like it is a cat thing. I don't have an answer for you except, hide the pin cushion. I try to keep toys in my sewing room for the cat plus some treats so if he gets too rowdy, then he gets trat..and then he crawls in his box and goes to sleep. But wouldn't be nearly as much fun without him. I can't decide whether or not to do the pin cushion swap or not. I am so busy with projects now, I hate to take on something else. Brat, perhaps you could make a needlecase if you wanted to join. Just make a little book-like cover and add some felt pages inside. I think there have been others done on the board. I am sure we will all get together again on another topic here. Night for now...and watch out for those pins on the floor. LOL!
