This is a non quilting idea that I heard of years ago, but collect hair from a beauty shop and scatter it around your garden. Human scent that close will keep the critters away. Have not tried it yet, so can not verify if it works or not.

What an interesting hint....I learned a lot on this thread, mainly what that little jar is that I have with my gg grandma's dresser set... :lol:

and what if you don't have hair? I'm sure some of us male quilters also suffer from male pattern baldness and don't have the hair necessary to try this. LOL, just thought I'd say...

that is what I was told years ago. God bless. Penny

I'm afraid some of us are showing our age but I can't begin to imagine how many diaper pins I ran through my hair when my girls were babies!! Still do it with my quilting needles.

Neat! I never heard of that ! Thanks

Ummmm...gulp.....I ain't goin' there..... :lol:

I've never heard this but it makes sense. Thanks!

nice tip, my grandma taught me that years ago, bless her heart, I sure miss her
