If you're looking for friends, look for one who has threads on her. It's also a good conversation starter.

Of course I do! I wouldn't be a good quilter if I didn't. I also have hair from 4 dogs (2 light colored and 2 dark) and of course my own. I think I shed more than the dogs! I have lint rollers in every room of the house as well as in the garage and in each car. I'm glad that I can get them at the dollar store! Even so, I still find threads while walking around the stores. How do I get them on my back?

My guess... if you see some hanging thread on someone, go say hello because you've got things in common.

My sweet husband checks me for bits & pieces, stray threads, and occaisionally a selvege stuck to my shoe like a strip of toilet paper.... if he isn't there... someon at work, the store, Dr. office, whatever usually mentions it. i look at it as part of my 'charm'...

Threads on my clothes, pins on my blouse or sweater, are normal way of living, for me. A cashier at the grocery asked me why I was wearing a thimble

If I didn't have a few loose threads on me, my friends wouldn't recognize me. LOL. I look for others with those pesky threads on them, looking for other quilters.
