I love your quilting next-to-the-ditch. I'll have to remember that for next time. I think it's a much nicer look than in-the-ditch. Very nice job on your quilt. And your cat's adorable too!

Love those kitty helpers. :-) What kind is your machine? I see Janome on it but is it a special quilting one?

Well it looks like your cat thought the tension needed adjusting. He he did a great job as your quilt turned out beautiful!

The quilt looks great, and it seems your little helper probably made it a bit more challenging for you. One of my cats loves threads and strings of any kind, including the whiskers on the other cat. That's what is happening in my avatar picture, though I didn't realize it until later when I noticed all the lopped off whiskers!

We constantly have to keep track of thread and things like that because they can be extremely dangerous to a cat if he swallows them.

Wouldn't the thread be inside the intestines? When I was in high school many years ago, our Science teacher had a dead cat in our biology class. Several thought that was really gross and mean. He showed us a plastic bag that was in the cat's intestines. He said it would have died anyway.
