    This is a non quilting idea that I heard of years ago, but collect hair from a beauty shop and scatter it around your garden. Human scent that close will keep the critters away. Have not tried it yet, so can not verify if it works or not.

    and what if you don't have hair? I'm sure some of us male quilters also suffer from male pattern baldness and don't have the hair necessary to try this. LOL, just thought I'd say...

    I'm afraid some of us are showing our age but I can't begin to imagine how many diaper pins I ran through my hair when my girls were babies!! Still do it with my quilting needles.
