    Love all the furbabies. Attached is my number one quilt inspector....Sammie. This is her favorite place to watch me while I am sewing. She takes her job very seriously.

    My kitties are valuable quilting consultants. Bun, the siamese, just died 3 weeks ago at age 20. In this photo I was embroidering my name on the edge of a quilt. She was my most devoted fan. She never left my side, quilting or anything else.
    Gracie (Gray - c; "c" for cat,) is 3 years old and learning her aprenticeship well. She prances around when Im making block placements, and when it's right for her, she snoozes there. I spread out a quilt top to take a photo and she's on it. She started as a wild baby, but there isn't a wild fur hair left on her.

    Bun never left my side

    Thanks for starting this, my cat (Babs) is quite the helper. She is ALWAYS where I am. Today she even tried to help me machine quilt by nudging my arm.

    So sorry to hear about your kitty Bun. Its so hard to lose a beloved pet. When I lost my Tabitha (she was 19), just about broke my heart. But somehow, there is always room for another furbaby. Not that we forget our lost furbabies.

    And I can't forget this one.
    This is Clio, giving me all sorts of grief because the Lone Star has gone wrong... (This was when I first threw up my hands with this quilt--- sometime last year...)

    I am definitely NOT a cat-person, but I just LOVE all the pictures of your fur-babies!
