Do you have to check for threads hanging on your clothes before leaving the house?

No, the dog hair usually camouflages them.

That's an improvement--I used to go to school/work with bird droppings on my shoulder. :oops:

We call those threads "Quilter's DooDoo". A friend of mine in California back in the 80's was telling how she noticed some threads on her husband's jacket as he was walking his daughter down the aisle at her wedding. So she was really teased a lot. Yes, we have them, but we also have to fight dog hair from a long haired Sheltie.

Ha! and I thought it was my lovely figure (not)....

I've been working around the house an hour or two after sewing, and realized I still had my thimble on.

Oh, that was a nice story. Maybe you should teach her to quilt and let her join the fun. LOL
