This past week you shared about the furry friends who rearrange your quilt blocks, reorganize your scraps, and have a particular fondness for relocating your spools of thread. This week we’ve put it all together for you. Enjoy the stories of quilters and their critters.
Well, were we ever surprised at the variety of quilting critters!
More cats than dogs…but the dogs have the cats by the tail! Only 15% more quilters have cats rather than dogs.
The race to answer the cat or dog question for quilters was a close one, but not all quilters are so traditional.
Non cat or dog pets included…
- chickens (chooks)
- fish
- kangaroos
- ducks
- turtles
- Koi
- Cockatiels
- rats
- African Grey Parrots (and less specific parrots)
- Yellow Collared Macaws
- Chinchillas
- Guinea pigs
- horses – big and mini
- rabbits
- and even a husband.
#1 – They love to be with YOU! Over 50% reported that their furry friend stuck close by supervising the creative process (often with eyes shut!).
#2 – The Cutting Table. Under, on, but especially in the middle of a freshly cut project. Apparently neatly stacked cut pieces violate a law of nature us humans don’t understand.
#3 – The purr of the sewing machine is a draw for many.
#4 – The ironing board. If only the precious dears could learn to press half square triangles!
#5 – The Scrap Basket.
Understandably, nearly 60% of you make quilts for your furry friends!
Here are the other goods according to rank:
- Bed
- Pillow
- Toys
- Costume
- Scarf
Other items included pup tent, collars, cage cover, hammock, food/water dish place mat, basket, Christmas tree, window seat cushion, hammock, carrier mat, tuffet, halter hearts, hats, sweatshirts, sweaters, and other winter attire.
- Lint Brush
- Vacuum
- Shake it out
- Wet Cloth or paper towel
- Toss fur covered items in the dryer or give it a wash first if needed
Over 200 of you shared the stories of your furry helpers. Thank you to each of you who shared these special moments with us!
I hand quilt on a quilt frame and whenever I try to quilt my dachshund mix will jump in my lap, put her front paws on the frame and sit there watching the needle go in and out of the fabric. Meanwhile my malamute lays under the frame, his head resting on my foot.
I had a wonderful personal and household manger, Tootie, who was a large white cat. Something of a critic as well, she slept by “our” Bernina whether in use or when the machine was quiet. When I would move to the cutting table, she would stretch out there on the fabrics to give me direction. She was firm in her design choices but always willing to listen to my opinions. I miss her a lot.

My dog Roxy always walk and want to lay on my quilts when I baste them for hand quilting.

My late cat just held things down for me- My husband’s cat is only marginally interested

My dachshund has graced every quilt I have ever made, even award winning show quilts- as I pin baste on my floor. She is a constant companion and seems to love each and every quilt I make.

Likes to sit on the quilt when I lay it out or do any hand sewing.

Evie, our tortoise calico cat, insists on helping me at the sewing machine whenever I am piecing or quilting. We have worked out a compromise that allows her to stay close but keep her paws at a safe distance. My quilted machine cover is turned upside down making a nice bed, and she curls up in it, thus allowing her to be right there–supervising and helping!

My two cats have to be where I am especially when I am trying to sew. I have a boy’s big bushy tail swishing back and forth on the back side of the machine and a little girl curled up in my lap. It’s a wonder I get anything done.

Coco, my brown tabby, and I play hide and seek with my needle grabber. I hide it in the sewing room, she finds it and leaves it on the dining room floor for me to hide again.

My kitten, now a cat, used to lay under my clear extension table and watch the fabric slide over her head. She doesn’t fit any more but still tries to get under the table.

My Championship Purebred Persian and Exotic Shorthair cats love to nap on fabric. The cutest is when the baby cats first discover a pile of fabric and its tactile comfort for an afternoon nap! Of course, they love to jump in my lap and interrupt sewing on my current hand-piecing project. Exotic Shorthair cats are known for their keen interest in what goes on in their household. I cannot work on quilts without their sweet faces giving audience!

Gandalf, our big white deaf Persian personality, loved to sleep behind the foot pedal and kept it from slipping backwards

I often have “help” with quilting and binding. They like to lay of the finished top while I’m working on it.
[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”10″][vc_column_text]
I don’t let my dogs use my machines so they don’t do any quilting. However, they do keep me company and remind me to get up often to stretch those back muscles.

My cat Oscar sleeps on my ironing board. I also crochet and I have to be careful that he can’t get to my yarn, because he eats it.
[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”10″][vc_column_text]
My dogs love to pull the stuffing out of quilts and pillows. I keep the good stuff away from them!
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
My cat loves wool bat. I never dare leave any unguarded, or he will start kneading it.
[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”10″][vc_column_text]
I used to have a dog that chewed up spools of thread and a quilt block in an almost finished top. Still she lived to be fourteen and a half.

My cat, Rocky, liked to get on the table and crawl under the fabric and com out the other side. He would sit there “modeling” the fabric.

Sophie likes to lie on the quilt while I am sewing it!! Gets very upset if I move it!

Anytime I lay out my quilt pieces the cats are on the quilts messing the up!

I have 4 cats, but Smokey, my 15 lb. fat boy “helps” the most. He loves to curl up on the back side of my machine when I piece a quilt, purring with my machine as my strips or chains fall over his back. When it is time to cut, he joins me by taking up half my cutting board and trying to lend his tell as a ruler. And don’t forget the ironing board. He makes sure I do everything right. When it is finally time to FMQ, he provides the weight so the portion of the quilt not under the needle does not fall of the table. And last but not least, he guards my supplies at all times so the kids don’t run off with mom’s scissors. Not sure how sleeping on scissors is comfortable, but he does it.

Over the years, whichever quilt I am working on, my dog has to lie on the part not on my lap while hand quilting. Even my daughter’s dog has his favorite spot (on the quilt). When I took my latest creation to my son’s to work on while there, his cat got into the act.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
Tucker likes to play with yarn so his play toy has yarn or string. Oliver likes to play with my tape measure and pins he also likes to chew on any paper patterns. I think they are both budding quilters but without thumbs they have to do the best they can with paws.

Whenever I am hand sewing the binding down to the back of quilts several of my cats come out from wherever they are to sleep on it while I’m trying to work…..I’ve had 3 cats at one time while I try to work around them.

My cat Mickey loves to help me sew. He is a 3 year old gray tabby with big green eyes. He stretches out in my fabric bin or on the sewing table. I usually quit sewing as he tries to grab for the moving needle.

My chocolate Labrador retriever, named Chocolate, loves to wear pieces of fabric around the house. Sometimes he even carries a piece of batting, or small pieces of thread.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
To make cat pillows, I keep a pillowcase nearby and just add the scraps as they come. When I have enough. I sew up the opening and the cats have a new bed.
[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”10″][vc_column_text]
My dog has eaten quite a lot of fabric and also whole blocks. The potty area in our back yard is quite colorful. He does love to go in his crate which sits crosswise across my quilting room door and take naps and guard me.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
I like to put fat quarters on my bed so that I can live with them before I pick a project. I have a wonderful photo of Paulo Poodle (RIP) snoozing in a pile of fabric. It’s my favorite of him now that he’s gone.

During bad weather my 86 lb. baby will try to hide under my sewing table. On other days he lays in my room with me while I cut fabric or sew with his toys while my cat sleeps under the desk that holds my laptop.

When I put my glass head pins in the pin cushion, I found the cats would pull each pin out by the pin head and spit them on the floor.

Marmeduke loves free motion quilting and anchors the work to create his own version.

Both of my cats (Shiloh, formerly) and now Girlie love to get on every quilt that is laid out on the floor for measuring, and they both have had their pictures taken on most of them as they roll about on them. Girlie also likes to be on the sewing table when I am at the machine. Shiloh was too big for that. Shiloh was a big, orange tabby we had for 12 years, and Girlie is a short haired dainty little Tortie that was rescued from the horrendous ice storm that lasted for a week 3 years ago.

My sewing companion, Walker, is double rescue. A friend adopted him from the street. He was so skinny and frightened. She had him for a couple of weeks and had an accident in her home. She was in the hospital and asked another friend to take care of him. That friend’s husband put him in the pound! So after a frantic call from her we rescued him a second time. When she finally got able to take care of him, she decided to leave him with me, because we live in the country and she lives in a small apartment. So she has visiting privileges any time she wants to see him. He weighed less than 5 pounds when we got him. He’s at about 8 1/2 pounds now. Looking good buddy! He watches everything I do from the cutting table or a chair.

She keeps my fabric warm
[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”10″][vc_column_text]
Any time my dog harasses me when we already have an understanding about when I’ll stop sewing, I toss some thread trimmings on her head. She leaves them there, too!
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
Tigger enjoys being in the middle of things. Literally. Whether I am laying out pieces, cutting fabric, piecing tops or quilting sandwiches, I can count on her to find a cozy spot dead center! Wouldn’t have it any other way! ♡

My Dolly cat loves to lay in front of my sewing machine while I sew my quilt squares together. She purrs constantly, almost in time with the hum of my sewing machine. Her favorite place to sleep, when I’m not sewing, is laying on my quilt that I have on my bed.

Anything on the floor is theirs. I can’t drop anything (thread, etc.) unless I’m willing to race for it.

Cali the calico cat likes to inspect my work at my quilting machine by laying on it to make sure it’s cuddly enough!

My dog rested her head on my foot pedal while I was at the cutting table and quilted on my husband’s quilt.

My dog loves to be where I am sewing just to be near me.

My cat, Tommy, loves to get between me and my sewing machine as I’m (attempting) to sew. He also has to check out the bobbin area whenever I change the bobbin or am cleaning my machine. He is very curious!

My service dog Rosebud my golden retriever (she is reddish in color) loves to follow me from one station in my sewing room to another, whether it is next to my feet at the cutting table, next to my layout of blocks on the floor, under my chair at my sewing machine (I have rolled over her tail many times-ouch), or under my ironing board or next too me on the sofa hand sewing she is always either under feet or next to me. She is my life line and my true pal in life and sewing. I love her as much as i love my quilting. I couldn’t live without either one of them. I am sure.
My granddaughter’s cat would crawl under my quilts when he came to visit. I made her husband a quilt that the cat claimed. So I made him a small one 24″ x 26″ for himself. He now drags his quilt to wherever he wishes to sleep( bed, couch or floor) and curls up under it.
