A few days ago, (during a windy day) Patti erected her "clam" shelter over a large picnic table, and the two of us finished the basting of the quilt. When the 4 quilting ladies were basting, we basted the entire quilt from north to south, but when Patti and I basted we went from east to west with our basting stitches.
However, the basting crew had a "wannabe" quilting greyhound! Hera kept giving us the "eye" and it was apparent that she was thinking about some action.
Suddenly she used those greyhound powers and levitated herself onto the quilt! On the table top! She was right in the middle of our needles!
Then she just as suddenly laid down, right on our needles! I allowed her to stay there just long enough to get the photo! Trying to get her off the quilt and table without messing up the quilt or injuring Hera was slightly difficult!
After we finished, we rolled the sides up in such a way that I would be able to work on one section at a time.
This is later the same day, when I am busy quilting, with "no" interference from Hera!
However, it seems as if Hera has hired Chica to do her bidding!
Look at those little white paws on my beautiful Chica!
She was a BIG help!
I can imagine Chica jumping up on your quilt but it was quite funny seeing Hera too. How did she manage to get comfortable with all those needles around, you must have been quite nervous for her.

Hi Lynne,
DeleteI wasn't really very nervous for Hera, but figured that she might learn a lesson if she got "stuck"!
I giggled when I read this! Aren't our fur babies the best?!!
ReplyDeleteOur fur babies certainly are very entertaining!
DeleteSurely that beautiful quilt is for Hera, Power and Chica, so they have to try it out:)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely weekend. Sue, Polly & Honey
I'm sure that they think that you are correct!
Deletethat is so funny to see.
ReplyDeleteIt sure ws funny to me!
DeleteIt's so nice to see Patti and your other friends (the two-legged kind) helping you get this quilt basted together so you can quilt it! You have probably learned so much already in the short time you've been there. I hope it goes smoothly (literally!) from this point. What a nice group of people! Nice that the pets seem pretty keen on it too!
ReplyDeleteIt was really wonderful...I did learn a lot, and am now able to quilt on a section at a time without the fabric bunching! Of course Chica the cat likes to help a lot!
DeleteLooks like your quilt is doggie and kitty approved.
