As a quilter, you have probably seen how your cat and dog companions love to sit on your quilt projects and completed quilts. Now we can share our quilts with cats and dogs in need by making "Cat and Dog Cuddles."

A ‘cuddle’ is a quilted pad of a specific size which is given to a cat or dog waiting for adoption at one of a number of Sonoma County animal welfare organizations, such as Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County. The quilted pad becomes the property of the cat or dog, and goes with the animal to her/his new home when adopted, so that something familiar is there in the new environment.

This is an approved project of the MQSC, and your participation is appreciated. Fall 2008 is the kickoff!

Complete details and instructions are available here: Cuddles Instructions

There will also be instructions and kits at the Guild Meetings.

Look for the "Quilts for Cats" sign at the meetings to pick up instructions and kits. And feel free to contact the coordinator, Donna Hinshaw, with any questions.

Thanks to all of you, in advance.
