Dickens is larger than any cat I have ever know and he thinks he is as small as Edgar.......Deborah

My biggest quilting pet peeve is when people use my rotary cutter and leave the blade exposed!

Morning all, I am new to quilting but old to pets......all of the cats can be sound asleep and I can get out a mag or a pattern to look at and POOF!

Where did they port in from? I often catch myself thinking about what it will look like with fur on it as I am picking colors....but I love all my fur babies.

Pet peeve is the cell phone and the fact that I use to be a csr at a fast food place and the people that could not hang up the %#@!*& phone and order. Life is good so enjoy it as often as you can.....

I also have a large ,mostly white cat whose greatest delight is either sitting on my face while in bed or sitting on my handmade quilt which is a large hexagon backed with black, need I say more.It is being made for my DIL and is all NZ flora and fauna.the front is very colourful but the back is hairy black and white. Love the site, my first read in the morning along with my first coffee.Hugs, Bee.

Dickens is GORGEOUS!!! We've been catless since our Birman passed on, & tho I used to fume about how she would always pick the darkest cord fabric in the stash to lay & shed her fur on, this minor pet peeve far outweighed by how much we missed her.

my biggest pet peeve is when you give someone a present, and they cant even be bothered to say thank you. Especially when the gift is handmade!

Wow.. Let me try & steer this back to positive!! I'm hoping to enter the challenge, but I might not have enough time. My biggest peeve is people using their cell phones at the dinner table. There was a family sitting next to me at a restaurant recently & they all- dad, mom, sister, brother, dog, etc- were huddled over their own smartphones. Do people not know how to enjoy each others company any more? If anyone ever texts me to pass them the mashed potatoes, there will be some slapping!

Thanks for the comments!

Laura Ann, you’re right, we have been giving our issues a bit of a theme lately. However, with each issue we still have a variety of articles that include tips and techniques on stitching, composition, and surface design, as well as artist interviews, galleries, and reader challenges.”

Sally, if you click through to the subscription form in the post above, it tells you exactly how many issues you will receive and the price for those issues, right on the first page.

My greatest pet peeve is the offers you make for free issues of Quilting Arts without the information of how much the actual subscription is. I would like to try it out - looks like something I would benefit from but if a free trial starts the subscription coming and I have to try to get it cancelled, then It's too much work from the start. Why not lay out the whole picture before me so I can make an informed decision before I hit that button. Spooks me out to do something without knowing what I'm getting into.

My biggest pet peeve is the direction you seem to be going heading with Quilting Arts magazine--single topic issues. I'll likely let my subscription lapse the next time, instead of renewing it, and just buy the single issues that might be of interested to me.

I am extremely 'laid back' when it comes to quilting rules and quilt police and policy...so when I actually make a very concerted effort toward perfection by measuring my quilt top to bottom, side to side, right down the middle both ways-not just once but two, three times, and square it up a couple times and block it up square and it still comes out wonky on one side, I am massively pet-peeved!!!
