Love People and Use Things.  Don't Love Things and Use People.

Be sure to check my "Fun Stuff" page for an interesting desiderata.
Did your Mother ever tell you " Try it, you'll like it." ?
I have one better than having to eat your brussel sprouts!

I'm sure all you sewers, be it quilting or other things have had to rip out or "unsew" seams or stitches! 

Well, I found a very expensive seam ripper with a rubber tip on the end.   When you take out stitches, you have all those little threads which are a pain to remove from the needle holes.  I thought "If rubber will do it, why spend all that money for a seam ripper?"   So.............. out of my drawer came a simple, cheap eraser!  The big kind, I can hold in my hand!  Walla!  It worked like a charm!   All you have to do is rub the eraser over those little threads, and they come right out!

HeHeHe!  Didn't I tell you.."Try it, you'll like it."  ?

I'm swamped with charity quilts right now.  They ( the "guild") are getting ready for a big show in April to present various organizations with quilts.  Numerous guilds in the gulf states have been envited to come and display and present their quilts also.  I brought home 4 tops this week which are ready for quilting.  One person has 4 which she is "prepping " for me and one other person has 2 which she is prepping.  One of those persons also has completed a top which she will bring for me to quilt also.  

I love my long arm quilting machine and we get along fine, until she decides to have a "snit".  :)
