For Polly and others who like neat stuff.... by
Pati, in Phx
I have been playing a bit with Texture Magic. It is wonderful stuff to
play with. And Polly you would love it for some of your tiny baby
things. G
Texture Magic is a fabric that shrinks when you steam it. So... you
sew it to a regular fabric, steam it and get a sort of smocked look.

Waaay OT - Walking in Scotland by
Round Rocker
Hello -
I tried to post this earlier, but it vanished, so I may have posted a
partial. Sorry if that went through.
I've been here a long time, but almost always as a lurker. I signed
TDB on its first visit to Houston, did a row swap with Rowena and Mim
and some other folks who don't post anymore,...

Copyright law in McCall's by

we inevitably have a lively discussion. Obviously, the entire quilting

OT - Quick update on Uncle Al, my chemo, etc. by
Rita L. in MA[_2_]
Good Morning,
First I want to thank all those who offered prayers and good wishes for
my Uncle Al. He passed away peacefully a couple of days after I posted
that request. He was surrounded by family and, according to my cousin,

OT A&E network show by
Kathyl
The A&E network is having a "Billy the Exterminator" (Vexcon) marathon
today. Shiver..... I think I'm having second thoughts about ever
visiting Louisiana ever again. Too many critters!! I really need
to turn away. Creepy! Billy's rather over the top personality is a
hoot.

Where are they now? by
Sally Swindells
I've just been making the Chocolate Pavlova I make every year for our
Charity Summer Lunch and it set me wondering about the people who used

OT Just in case... by
NightMist
Just in case the weather channel people are still lurking about my area...
The flash floods were minor, just disrupted traffic and stalled a couple
of cars.
The tornadoes were miles from my house.
The fires caused by lightening were pretty much limited to a herd of golf
carts at a local course....

OT Why I get organic eggs by
NightMist
Got the query in email and decided to answer in group.
While I am not a big fan of factory farms, which is where a lot of
commercial eggs come from, that is not why I pay four times as much for
organic eggs.
I am allergic to two of the main groups of cheap antibiotics.
