    Gryphon! Keep paws out of moving parts :shock: He looks like he will be a lot of help. My Gracie only comes around my machine about twice a year and never when I am sewing. When in use she is on top of the TV sleeping. M.E. (my dog), thinks I should be able to hold her and sew at the same time. Just like when I am on the computer. What would we do with out ALL the extra help :?:

    Johnny is 3 yrs old about 18 lbs and likes to sleep in the scrap box which he can just fit in. Sadie is also 3 yrs old and is the one to keep my on track ...tells me when it is time to go to bed. As for Lotus, she and her brother Tank are the babies, will be 1 yr in May. She likes to sit on the sewing table looking out the window when I am sewing. We have a total of 5 cats - 4 black and white (look alike but only Lotus and Tank are related) all rescue babies. Then there is Gabby who is a tabby cat.

    This is what happens to quilts in the sunshine at my house. This is DH 's cat Miss Kitty. She sleeps on his legs every night, and on the rare nights, that he isn't here , she sleeps in the bath tub. I don't think I am good enough to sleep with. (That, or I kick?)

    Miss Kitty blew up!

    Fifi was my Mom's....I kept her awhile until she recently flew on angel wings to heaven. She had a good long life.
    My cat is Dorothy...and she follows me around and jumps in the middle of anything I do. If I shoo her away she gets to galloping all over the house in a huff! I love my cat!

    This is Fifi....my Mom's cat that I owned awhile..RIP Fifi!

    I have read it several times. Wonderful book. Great tips in the sewing room. Mine always wanted the bobbins. Had to change that habit real fast.

    We all should have a little quilt inspector. We have 2 .Both are rescue, then in the real cold this young starving cat came. She looks just like my others but is so more into quilting. You lay down a quilt block and she thinks its just for her. How could I sew without their help. I do not remember what thats like. They love quilts anywhere and all the time.
