OK--I am usually the one getting myself in trouble so today I will be good. I like Superior thread and especially Bottom line that I use for piecing and quilting and applique and ....staying on topic Better just go sit with the trouble makers--move over gang.

Big sigh with head shaking ! Move on over, please !

Guess I had better go and sit on the bench with Lorchan, Keith, Limbania & Norma.....

Are you ham-stirring it up there Rosemary?

(PS if you don't want any breakfast mouse comments how about a hamster comment instead? they go around wheely fast, but are much better late at night rather than breakfast time)

I want to be there, too! How much space do you have, Keith. Off topic? No, this friendship is what's it all about. You all contribute to making my life more fun (and it was not boring before TQS)

What Keith said! (Two thumbs up) Totally agree. Oh and I'll come sit by you both, don't want to miss all the fun.

And I just can't get Marilyn's blooming ideas out of my head - I have this image of ideas growing beautifully and morphing into more beauty and they're different and better but the kind of the same still... It's exciting... Thanks for the great image, Marilyn!

I get that we should stay on topic, but then I feel a little handcuffed, and that's no fun. But I'll do better at this. Starting in just a minute...

Lorchen, if you simply can't behave - do come sit by me.

Hi Rosemary! I'm refraining from saying something very inappropriate.

Amen PatchworkJill!

PDQuilt please understand that while the forum is full of great ideas and suggestions for us all, it can also be a fun place, and I myself love that about the TQS forum, I don’t always have something to say but I do read it nearly every day with my coffee in one hand and the mouse in the other (and no mouse comments from you lot either by the way.....lol lol lol.....and yes Lorchen I am watching YOU) and find it a great joy, and perhaps some days I have had a bad day or just a bit tired or such but then I read and laugh my head off sometimes.........and I am quite sure you would know and understand that outside of a business meeting it’s like a group of people in a room visiting with each other and how the conversations can change from one thing to another ever so quickly.......I think that so long as we are all ever so kind to each other in life that’s all that matters in the end don’t you.........And always remember you are welcome to start a question thread on the forum of your own choice as that’s what it’s here for so ask away.

Hey Lorchen love the new photo or am i just behind the times.......

Ditto!

The trouble is some of us have minds like butterflies, and we flit from flower to flower in the same paragraph....

And back to threads - I have been using YLI 60 weight (18tex) (super fine anyway) for essing Caught red handed and have been pleased with how it is blending in to the seams. My next big decision threadwise is wondering what to use for the quilting patterns that I will be doing. I might actually stay with the same thread and hope to have the pattern visible from the shadows of the quilting rather than the stitching of the quilting, we will just have to wait and see.

Thanks Margo and Paula!
