I made a dress a few years ago and used it to fine stitch a hem. My son said to me, " mom you're using a monopoly piece". I had to tell him that I was using it to not prick my finger.

The thimble was a piece no one wanted.
we fought over the car and the scotty dog...I wanted the dog.

I nearly wept when I heard they dropped the dude on a horse. I blame Dubya and his fear of horses.

(7,963 posts)7. I never saw a man on a horse piece before.
The iron, I totally get. I mean, really. No one wants to use one much less play with one.

But I think they got rid of that one, also.
