This is the perfect block to follow Morris the Mover". One of the things he loves to move are the area rugs I have every where... They are every where because Molly is terrified of walking on linoleum and just won't... The rugs are her path to navigate... There is an 8' runner in the kitchen which is Molly's lifeline to the front door or the back of the house...
Of course this is the rug that Morris loves to move. He not only has to drag it the length of the kitchen, he has to get it around a corner and through a doorway.. He tugs and pulls, and grunts and groans until he succeeds in doing it..
And when he finally gets it in the living room he usually collapses... It is indeed a big undertaking for a small dog and it takes him about 20 minutes to it.
Occasionally Molly gets stranded in the kitchen because her escape rug has slipped our of her line of vision... I either have to put a rug down for her or carry her... She would stay there hours stranded. In fact she has when I've been busy painting or sewing somewhere else and not aware of her plight.
I've lots of pictures of Morris and the big runner but it was quite by accident that I caught both him after moving the rug and Molly starting to panic.... You know she is thinking "Oh no...not again. That *#@%^ Morris."

Thanks for posting about your canine "helpers"! Where would we be without them?! Creative inspiration, comic relief from all that stitching & a hug just when we need it the most. Thanks also for all the mini-tutes. Your tutorial on the "too long seam" gave me an "aha!" moment. You put your finger on the problem with my block & now it's fixed. Wheeeee!
WE have runners all over our house too because Chevy doesn't like to walk on the laminate. He will go down the hall once he gets through the kitchen...sometimes...but now when the furnace is running...its a scary world. And poor Molly doesn't appreciate all the hard work Morris puts into moving those rugs.
I would love to win the gold and have a chance at experimenting with more gold trim. Joyce in Mobile aka lsubookwrm@hotmail.com

Would love to win the gold stash. (Hope I'm not double posting as comp is doing wierd stuff this morn) I could sure use some practice materials as I get ready to do a CQI gold RR. Joyce in Mobile lsubookwrm@hotmail.com
Naught Morris, I wonder if he is doing to on purpose to trap Molly, or is it his version of tough love to make her walk on the floor?
Either way poor Molly. Maybe you should use some velco dots to attach it to the floor. Then set a video camera up to watch Morris trying to move the rug!
Morris' rug stories are probably my most favorite of all!!
