    Yes all the time, just business as usual, I stick straight pins in my shirt sometimes, find them their all the time, maybe if I had bigger lta-tas] I would be more careful. I have some in the visor of my car because I look down and ,surprise a pin.

    [/quote] If you're looking for friends, look for one who has threads on her. It's also a good conversation starter.[/quote]

    The official fellow-quilters greeting is interrupt their hug to
    pick threads off - each other! :D

    Yes, I do, and my sewing area isn't near the bedroom. :?:

    lol, ideas are great. I figure what's a few extra threads. Winter is coming, may need the extra insulation.
