DH is a lint picker....well years ago I made at our home two quilts for the church to raffel off...well threads all over then another year I decided to make graduation gowns for the Catholic School kindergarten class so I had threads all over again he came home from work and he said what are you making now.....I told him I was working his way into heaven....he had no answer end of conversation just the way I wanted it....but I think the loose threads are like bunnies they just multiply....
