This name makes you wonder what else in going on in their very interesting mind. Too funny. ------ My hope is to sew to the very end. They'll find my head slumped over my precious Kenmore 19606 and have to pry the seam ripper from my cold, dead hands.

What I find odd, is the fine print on the picture that states "Products rendered in these scenes may not be an exact representation of actual flooring."

Quote: Walking Willows We have carpet in one room and it is our first experience with nylon carpet. It had to be restretched after long little humps formed that could have housed slim willow trees. Little kids would loved to have used it for playing with their Matchbox four-wheelers. I've worked with and around the mindset that produces this kind of stuff. It's intriguing and amusing. Makes for a fun day at the office. -- Edited on 12/9/11 12:51 PM -- ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

I am actually looking for some like that to put into my old BILs house which burned last Christmas in the mountains. I was looking for a color called "dirt."

He was meeting with a guy to promote a paint company, and the names Jeff and his assistant came up with in the meeting were very similar. I wonder if there's a connection? ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."

None of the carpet company's reps (and I dealt with several companies)would ever tell me the official name of the job or anything about it. I personally think it was done in bars during happy hour! ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987
