Last fall we went to Hilton Head and Savannah. We took our Pommie, Toby Bean, with us. We visited a small quilt shop in Garden City called Sew Much More. It was "pet friendly" and the ladies all swooned over my old man! Interesting too that the Home Goods store in Hilton Head was pet friendly also!
I know that I think cats and quilts go together but the number of people allergic to cats far outnumbers the number of people who are allergic to dogs.
There are some hypoallergenic cat breeds but they come with a hefty price tag!
