Like most quilters, I prioritize my time so I can sew every day.. Cleaning is way down on my list, until the hair puddles from our two hairy pets, a long-haired cat and a Shetland Sheepdog, threaten to take over. But what's the point? As the haiku at the bottom of the quilt states, "Vacuuming pet hair/What a waste of precious time/Why bother? Just sew." The alternate last line to that is "Let's just shave them bald!"
