So today I loaded a quilt onto my longarm. Got the back pinned, the batting in place, the top floated, and ready for basting. I took a little break and sat down to rest. Next thing I know, my quilting companion, Pan, a cute little grey tabby, decided to turn the entire thing into a kitty hammock. She hopped up onto the loaded quilt and it pulled all the pins out of the fabric. Actually, the pins held, the fabric tore. Sigh.
It's a good thing I made the back oversized for this one, but I'm still bummed out... all that pinning has to be redone. I think I will get to it tomorrow or Sunday. My enthusiasm for dealing with it has faded a bit. And I'm not happy with my kitteh either.
No, she cannot haz cheezeburger now.
