Pets on Quilts Show 2015 - Lucy's Favorite Event Every Year!

Well, I almost missed it, but Lucy reminded me today (with quite a bit of meowing this morning) that today was the start of the Pets on Quilts Show 2015 over at Lily Pad Quilting.  Of course we have to participate - she waits for this all year long!!!

Anyone who follows my blog knows that Lucy thinks this is her blog, where she allows me to talk about quilting. :-)  She of course is very involved in every aspect of the quilting process....

Fabric selection and inventory control.....

Pattern design and layout....

Quilt basting...  Shhhhh.. she thinks this is a self-portrait. 

 And more layout consulting and design work. 

It's all very exhausting for one small kitty....

Especially when you consider the prep time to keep herself ready at any moment the camera might appear. 

And of course there are the fans to deal with.......

Sometimes it just makes a kitty want to hide.

She thinks no one can see her here.  Let's not tell her....

Please check out all the other Pets on Quilts at the show over at Lily Pad Quilting.  It is so much fun!!!

If you haven't guessed, she wants to enter the Cat on Quilt CATegory. 

And Lucy won't mind if you vote for her, she can handle the pressure of an election!!  Please, no debates though! :-)

Happy Stitching,

Deb.... and Lucy

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
