But that just makes this kind of forum such a treat and such a blessing for everyone of us, to be able to commune with so many of our quilting brothers and sisters of whatever age all over the globe, who see things in so many different ways.
So what if someone else does not share my opinion. I am enriched every day by the opinions and discussions on this site. I look forward to more!

Why stop at the fingernails, How about the fingers? Done that a time or too. Can't comment on the other as have not seen any of the ads with woods or osmond. Company's have their reasons - not always the ones we want or always the right ones.

Hi I own 3 Janome machine's and I too don't buy the machines because of a celib at any time . I love my machine's and that is a pitty that they dropped Kaye woods I love Kaye and go to her site a lot to learn different things .I don't care about Marie Osmonds stuff at all . I like the old way to do things .I do go to the Janome site allot and go round with out Marie stuff . that is so sad we all should send Janome a e-mail and tell them shame on them Kaye wood has been around longer and is smarter and Little Marie Osmond is not they just want to attract younger women thats why.

I'm not an expert on any of this by any means!!!! I also don't buy something just because a celebrity endorses it, but I will often give something a second look if I am familiar with the celebrity's "style" of things and I have liked them in the past. For example, Rachel Ray, Martha Stewart, Paula Dean, ect (sticking with the household stuff). I actually have no idea who Kaye Woods is! Just a thought.
Marie does quilt. Her mother, Olive taught her all kinds of craft, sewing, quilting stuff and Marie excels at it.
Kaye Wood is fantastic and unique.
I don't choose, between them.
It is Janome that bumped Kaye, not Marie.
naughty Janome ppl! tsk! tsk!
I have two Janomes.
I don't buy bc of who promotes something. I buy from trusted sources, I also don't reject bc of whose promoting either. JMHO
hugs, all :D

Marie Osmond does sew and quilt both. I am with Patrice and Sharlee. How do you know that it was not Kaye Wood who left Janome and PBS? Maybe she is tired and needs a break. Don't get me wrong, I do not buy anything just because a celebrity endorses it, but I do try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
