As we all know when you come out of a sewing session (short or long), you can and/or will be "Covered in Threads". My DH swears that lose threads follow me everywhere - I've come out of grocery stores and pharmacies to find him picking off loose threads - gees! So when I started writing articles for our local quilt some 5 years ago on events, travels and creations I knew I needed something special to close with hence the use of "Covered in Threads". I feel it does the job nicely in closing out articles I write and in describing my happiness when I'm in my sewing room.

I started quilting for the first time in Hawaii learning to do appliqué, so when we moved back to the mainland I didn't know what to use when we got our first computer, and a friend suggested MsHawii. Now I can't imagine using anything else. Jan

I know one thing....Once you get an ID, it is impossible to change it. When I signed up I did not understand the difference between "user name" & "user title". So I put down my real name and now I wish I could change it. I really feel it is a security issue. If anyone knows of a way to change this, please let me know.Already wrote to the administrator. No luck!

Think everyone posted--so many pages to read. I didn't know anything about an ID (I'm lucky to be able to get to this Board) so I just used Maris (aren't too many people with that name). Much fun to read the history of the ID's
