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. The texture...

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.

Copyright law in McCall's by Sunny[_2_]
From time to time the sticky issue of copyright violation comes up and we inevitably have a lively discussion. Obviously, the entire quilting world is struggling with the issue. Now McCall's 'Quilting' -- the September/October issue -- has devoted an entire article to copyright for quilters. The...

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. KJ

We enjoyed nine days of family visits, sightseeing and quilt events in Southern California. Fortunately our visit was to the cooler parts of Los Angeles and San Diego. While we were enjoying temperatures in the 60's and 70's it was over 100 just an hour drive away. Location really makes a...

Where are they now? by Sally Swindells

OT maybe; finding a technician by Polly Esther[_5_]
I posted this over at the sewing group but, truth be told, I much more respect the experience of you (all). Here's what I asked: I need my serger. I NEED it. It has decided to feed only in a curve - will Not feed straight anymore. Logically, methinks something is out of alignment....

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. Every now and again when...
