Pets on Quilts Show 2014 is here!!

The Pets on Quilts Show 2014 is well underway at Lily Pad Quilting.  I have been wondering why Lucy has been meowing up a storm since Friday.  Then I realized I had not posted anything yet for this once-a-year, super-cute, parade of pets that you will ever see!  I needed to get her entered as soon as possible!
Lucy is my biggest quilt helper.  So this year she has the honor of being my cover-cat :-)  in the cats on quilts 'cat'egory. LOL
She does not take this honor lightly.  Quilt block selections are hard and can mean really having to get down close to her work.
Putting the rows together is also a big responsibility....
Then she has to check my quarter inch seam allowances to make sure they are spot on!
Of course.. the first step to any quilt is the fabric selections.
Finally! Arranged and pieced together.  I don't know what I would do without her help!
After a hard day's work, the best part is just being able to look out the window....
or curl up in a quilt.

Check out all the pets and pet themed quilts at Lily Pad Quilts and vote for your favorite.  Lucy won't mind if you vote for her.  She has a long career ahead of her as a quilting assistant.

Happy Stitching

  5. Tommy Cat would like to politely suggest that Lucy is NOT helping you make fabric selections. That look she is giving you should be translated "You bought MORE fabric instead of cat toys and treats? Hand over the finances now!" Tommy agrees with her.

  23. Lucy is so pretty. She looks like my Colby Jack. Colby is my quality control cat. If he does not lay on a quilt in progress - something must be wrong with it.
