Pets on Quilts

Pets on Quilts

Lily Pad Quilting is having a linky party.  They want to see pictures of our pets on our quilts. I can only think of one that I have:


This is Mac.  She's 10 years old.  I received her and her brother the summer I met my husband.  She's a little neurotic, but has been relaxing as she matures.  Where her siblings will force their way into my lap, she will not lay on me unless I have a blanket/quilt on my legs.  In this picture, I'm working on the binding of this baby quilt and she insisted on "helping" me.  She's a sweetie.


But, I can't leave the others out.  This is Ram. He's Mac's littermate and LOVES to help me in my sewing room.  In this picture, he's sitting on a Christmas quilting project desperately trying to get some love.  This is truly my favorite picture of him. And I'd regret it if I only included Mac and not Ram - trust me, he'd know! 


Finally, this is Clovey. She likes to insert herself into the process as well. Although, she's more concerned with the moving parts of the sewing machine and rotary cutter than she is with the fabric.  She's really just waiting for me to sit still long enough to settle in my lap. She's quality control. :o)

I have been looking at others' posts and am very grateful to find that I'm not the only one who suffers from pet insertion syndrome.  Everyone seems to have pictures of their pets inserting themselves into either the project or the process. Solidarity, Sisters. ;o)

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Purr purr from Rusken (my cat) to your cats. A cat can never have too many quilts. Yours are beautiful.

  5. Sweethearts, all three of them. My cat will only lay on my legs when they are covered, usually with a quilt. They make the process so much more fun.
