If you go into your User CP, then go into Edit Options, down toward the bottom there is a heading for Thread Options (I can't remember the exact name), but it lets you choose to show or not show other people's avatars.

I hope that helps!

Well......don't hold your breath on THAT one.......I can't figure out how to make them. The one I am 'playing with' just has single zippers that you sew together. I will keep digging around on-line for intructions before I waste the money on one of the zipper rolls.

I think they are really cool too! And she just had a TON of sizes. Had never seen the water jug holder b/4....it's cool.

Made it to THREE craft shows on Saturday......I was flat hauling!! One was just a small tole painting thing but I had never been to it, though they have it every year.

If my feet hadn't of been screaming at me I would have tried for one more. The ones at the churches are only on Sat. so.....I missed one. Have more this weekend.......not sure how many!

Please remember that you are enjoying all of this for at least the two of us and I'm sure, many more FV readers!! No pressure though!!

I sewed the border on five towels last night and they look pretty good. Need to get the table runner and towels in the mail to be in MO. before Turkey day----- that is after pictures and postin gof the same!!

Thanks everyone. There are some cute avatars on here! Love the gopher FF!

No, I don't have an avatar yet. Will have to think of one.

Had a friend in last night. Actually, she wanted me to show her how to bind a quilt. I used my potholders as an example...kind of. I didn't double the bias tape like you would on a quilt, but I showed her how to negotiate the corners to get a sharp corner.

I'm feeling a bit better today, but still think i'll take it easy for awhile. I have the car and will do a bit of necessary shopping today. But that's it.

Yesterday, I worked all evening on patching my hubby's jean work coat. Lining wearing out..went to my rags, pulled out navy fleece and hand sewed the patches. Looks just fine..I told him he must tell people how "wonderful" his wife is for fixing his coat! LOL

**frugalfranny** · 11-10-2009, 07:29 PM

You bet Ali Lee and he better thank you when he is warm too!

Hope to hear from you more often.

**Pemberleyan** · 11-11-2009, 07:12 AM

Ali, that sounds like a project I would be doing for my DH. I've patched or mended several of his uniform pants, made uniform shorts out of long pants, etc. There's something fun about making things last.
