Day 165: The bias binding for a quilt I sold finally arrived yesterday, and I was anxious to get started on finishing it. I knew better than to lay it out on the floor. Pins and pussycats are not a good combination, so I brought out a card table and laid my formica "bread board" on top of it so that I'd have enough length to pin most of one side at a time. I put the quilt on the improvised crafts table and went in the kitchen to get the pins. It took all of fifteen seconds, and this is what I found when I came back. I should have known. Merry is the only cat I've ever shared my home with who flatly refused to accept the stricture of "no cats on hard surfaces." And I know I will not win this battle, no matter how hard I try. I did manage to keep him off while I was actively pinning, and by the time I'd got to the third side, sewing each side as I went along, the novelty had worn off. He curled up in his cushy bed for a nap, satisfied that Mama didn't need help with her project after all.
