And, saying truth, the picture itself indicates, that you love your small friends so much... If not - usually posted picture is without that "living" part of our love.

He's always on the fabric, especially when I'm tryinh to sew. Theodore is his name and he's a 13 year old Maine Coon, who is finally starting to slow down a little. I wish I could attach the latest picture of him helping me quilt. I also have a fabric tester, but I like to think of him as a cat who quilts.

Too funny. I've only had 3 male cats, and Pal, my first, was definitely the one in charge. The quilt was made more than 15 years ago, long before the 30s fabrics came back in style. I believe I purchased all of the fabric from Joanne's way back then. I don't remember who made the pink, only that it was a nuisance to iron, took tonnes of steam and water, very heavy thread count. Sheila, I've taken to using a lint remover just before quilting, otherwise I end up with kitty threads in my quilt. The joys!! Cheers, Michele Henrietta,

I have two cats that were both very frightened when I adopted them. One was a true feral from the animal shelter and one was from an animal hoarder. The feral cat is now very loving and the other is still shy but loves to be petted and brushed (on his own terms). Gotta love them, and all their fur on our fabric! :-) Sheila Your boys are very handsome! I have two cats that were both very frightened when I adopted them.

Boss cat in our house is a tiny #5 female and nobody messes with Shirley including a large feral tom who visits the barn cat buffet. Those two are such sleek and pretty boys. The bubblegum pink in the nine patch, is that Chanteclair or something else? I was underwhelmed by Chanteclair quality and would be interested in knowing what others use for 30's solids.
