It's kind of sad if QOV do not,
as one would think this would be a concern for many of the recipients.
Perhaps it's a discussion that should be had with QOV??
The local group I am involved with doesn't seem to. We had a sew day last week and I took some yardage to the ironing board to ready it for cutting. It was covered in cat hair. I backed away and asked another lady to iron it. I told her why. She seemed to understand. But it seems so many have pets all up in their fabrics that it just doesn't seem to be a concern. Plus, sometimes more than one person works on a quilt. Might get complicated following the trail to make sure it doesn't end up in a pet home.
I'm just not sure if the finished quilts are getting washed before being awarded. I will explain again my situation to the group coordinator. If they still want to use me, fine. If not, I'll move on.
