Let's talk about red
IMO you need to buy several different ones so you can see what works
best with your GREEN. Anyhow, you might find a dozen different manufacturers who call something "Christmas red", and all those reds are different.

There's deep, dark red, dull gray red (that one actually is useful in the strangest places), orange red, leaning toward pink red and, of course, some that have a sort of blue-ish flavor. IF you were shopping online, what would be the best word for just pure, true red? There's crimson, and Christmas and just all manner of red names. Wonder which one would work for my shopping? Polly |

Let's talk about red
Sorry, anything to do with leaky red dye just kills any humorous
impulse. Roberta in D, waiting for the Christmas Joke On Wed, 7 Nov 2012 17:57:11 -0800, "Taria" wrote: Polly, it has been a long day.

Who would have imagined I would appreciate not having grand kids.
Today it doesn't seem like such a bad thing. Life does go on. It will be different for many, good or bad depending on whether you are a giver or a taker. Dh is sorry he didn't dodge the draft. Taria "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... No, not a good day for humor. Some of us are celebrating, some struggling to be gracious, some devastated. Life goes on. Polly |

Let's talk about red
Howdy!
Reds run?! ?!!!??! I use the Color Catcher on all the new-to-me fabric; haven't had a red running in many years. For Christmas- is there a special red just for Christmas? Is there just one red? They're all good. Use the one that goes with what you're working on; that decides it for me. g Yes, that means that we must have many reds in the stash, makes choosing easier. Cheers!

Howdy!
If your red is running, I hope it has my address! buh-dum-bump! We've been in a good humor since about 10:00 Tuesday night, laughing and whooping it up. Let the quilting continue!

Let's talk about red
It seems many of my dear friends agree with you. Just be ready to
duck and run when you get your new tax bills. You are lucky you don't live in CA. These folks love to throw money to govt. for taxes! They actually make the rest of the country look like slackers! I told dh we might just be low enough income that Jerry Brown will buy us solar for the house. Time for us to start working the system. Taria "Sandy E" wrote in message ... Howdy!

Kind of like the Granny apple greens do. But Roberta's right, match the red with what you're working on, especially the greens. Some greens and reds vibrate... |
