It used to be a compliment on one's stylish clothing when someone would comment "Nice threads!". Now it's fun to actually have someone (another quilter) say "Oh, pretty color! What're you working on?" from a stray thread on my clothes. Love it!

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.
