Hi--I have noticed that when I click onto rctn I am only getting 7--15 posts
a day--surely there are more than that! In options I have
checked download 400--it was 300, but I notice no difference. What can I do
to get more? Should I clear the previous messages and would that make a
difference?...

More on carrying bags by

My son turned his calf into hamburger on the soccer field yesterday and
I finally convinced him this evening to bandage it. I pulled out my

3 ring binder full of plastic sheets with pockets for first aid supplies

OT Help for Hot Pets during the heatwave. by
xray_momma
I have seen this idea at work at a couple of fairs that we have during the
summer. Fill a large plastic bottle with water and freeze it. Place where
the pets lie and they will lie against it to keep cool. You can use a two
liter soda bottle, a water bottle, or what ever you have on hand. You...

call to quilters by
s.whitley
I have gone rag quilt crazy. I've gotten about 500 squares cut and ready to
start putting together. Here is my question, when you sew the squares all
together what do you do at the corners? I.e. sew the seams open? Stop and
don't overlap the seams? Sew the seams all one way?
Please let me...

various questions that came to mind today by
Rachel Janzen
First of all, Seanette, Mistress of Rayon Thread, I'm working on my first
project with rayon thread and am not finding it too difficult to deal with.
The only thing is the cross stitches don't look uniform like I'm used to
with cotton floss. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong.
I was...

St. Claire as I imagine her by
Ceredwynn \(remove the bad robot to reply\)
Yes, I imagine the castle would have been a bit dark and dank. I guess
we're lucky to be able to have our little stitching corners with comfy
chairs and floss organizers! Not sure what to do with that upper right
corner when it comes to making a chart; seems like a lot of black, but I do

OT (mostly) - a lovely afternoon weeding! by

Hello All,
Despite some wonderful EBay S.E.X., I just haven't done much stitching. Just
not in the mood ( lost a dear friend recently to Lupus, still down). But
since I have an oil change today, I have a car project that I might get some
progress on that one!
On topic, I found EBay and now have to...

Dear Tannia,
Thank you for posting this! I recently completed an afghan totally covered in
squares based on Kogin-Zashi patterns. My basic source was a wonderful book
