Dogs and/or Cats.  Think about the whimsy dogs and/or cats provide in our lives.  Reflect that in a small wall hanging, table topper, bed runner or quilt.  You can have just dogs and dog accessories or just cats and cat accessories or dogs and cats.  Use your photos or fondest memories to provide inspiration.

Exercises while you quilt.
Sewing with Nancy had a segment on heart healthy exercises to do while you are quilting.  Her reference was the University of Wisconsin health site.  The link above will take you to exercises you can do while you quilt.  Yes, you do have to put your project down to do these exercises, but well worth the results.  From Annette Renard
