You all crack me up. My feather story is one to really remember. I had one of those feather beds and some of the quilting had come loose and it no longer useful. I had a hole in the middle ;) I wanted to do something with the feathers since I am a thrifty type. I made some pillows and took the feather bed, my scisors, a few pins,and the new pillow thingys into the shower (dry of course). I shut the shower door and took off all of my clothes and threw them over the door. (I wouldn't want the feathers to stick to my clothes.) LOL.. anyone who knows me would gasp at this as nobody should ever see this sight. I transfered the feathers from the matress topper to the pillows I had made and then pinned them shut. I cleaned up the few leftover feathers from the shower and sewed the pillows shut. I then was able to get dressed again. LOL Lucky I was home alone. Actually this worked out very well because it contained the feathers in the shower area and not all over the house.
