Does anyone use Windows live to send and receive emails? If you do, have you noticed that it takes forever to send a message. It goes to the Outbox and just sits there for quite some time before sending. Is this normal? Cindy from GA

Long ago in the dark ages I charted counted cross stitch designs by hand on graph paper. Once I started quilting I dropped my cross stitching. Now I hear so many baby boomers, whose eyes no long let them cross stitch, lamenting the fact that there are few quality stamped cross stitch items...

;) good way to start the day! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SPEW WARNING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I figured out why I'm so fat! The shampoo I have used for years in the shower that runs down my body says "for extra volume and body".

.... about the quilt I'm currently making. I was on board of one of those fast ICE trains to Berlin and was working on those tiny bits and pieces, trying to bring them together. The real quilt has greens, oranges, reds and black in it, but in my dream, suddenly there was a lot of blues that I...

I went into the local sewing center for a spool of thread this morning. While there, I wandered over to the used machines, and, lo and behold, there was a sweet little Elna Stella. I have been wanting an Elna Lotus, but after I saw Stella I really want her. She's in mint condition. The little...

I am extremely upset at the moment. My darling daughter is hysterical - she was parking her car and accidentally ran over and killed her beloved Mishka tonight. She was the eldest of my QIs and I don't know how to console my daughter. Mishka raced out the door when DD went out - she would play...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had any scraps they'd consider parting with? Looking mainly for batik (the subtle, kind of watercolor, type without the wax patterns), any hand-dyes, and also silks (charmeuse, dupioni,etc). Color and symmetry isn't important as long as they aren't all one color...
