[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 580095, member: 136"]OMG, Bronwen! That's EXACTLY what Stoli does, too! A couple of years back, he stole a red bobbin & "decorated the house" for Christmas! The thread went from one room to the next - the entire 1st floor was "decorated"! The thread went in & out, chair leg to chair leg, table to table - it was really incredible how "intricately" he had operated!
