Discussion on the Message Board
Excerpt below from discussion as posted to the board by Cecelia ~ Where have YOU found your orts?
“I just changed my daughter’s diaper this morning and I found some thread snippets inside her diaper (don’t worry — she hadn’t eaten the thread or anything like that).
The threads gave me a chuckle 
and made me start wondering –
Have you ever found threads in silly/embarrassing places?
Just curious!

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway that runs along the palm side of your wrist. It covers and protects the main nerve in your hand and the tendons of your thumb, index and middle fingers.When you perform repetitive movements like hand quilting or rotary cutting, you stretch and compress these tendons. This irritates the nerves and causes inflammation and pain. When this occurs, it’s called carpal tunnel syndrome.You’re also at risk if you keep your hands in the same position for a long time. Quilters are guilty of this when they sit at their sewing machines for many hours. If you don’t give your hands and wrists a break, you increase your chances of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.
