OT the electric went off front yard jamboree by
NightMist
Yesterday the electric went off for a couple of hours.
Suddenly children that we didn't even know lived here appeared out of
doors.
My DH popped out of doors and scolded me for hoeing when he thought I
ought to be resting. Since Ash was off swimming with his grandma, DH
made a quick trip back...

ping Butterfly by
Polly Esther[_5_]
but I know the rest of you are going to read this. Today I wanted to quilt
for hours and be kind to my back, front and assorted other parts including
my feet that swell if I sit ( or stand) too long. Anyhow, since B'fly has
foot troubles, I thought I'd report on my Bernina BSR tests. I don't...

Health update by

The CT scan showed both good and dubious results: the secondary site liver spots are still the problem. The original spots have shrunk while the newer ones have grown. Tomorrow's chemo has been changed for a stronger cocktail with more possible side effects than the last two that have been...

Any guesses? by
Jennifer in Ottawa
My nephew recently returned from a trans-Atlantic cruise which had called in at St. Kitts, among other destinations, which is the location for "Caribelle Batik".
He bought a batik pouch filled with 1lb of 5"x5" squares of batik patches (their word for them) - I don't know the number of 'patches'...

Giant Dahlia paper templates by
Trixie
I just got the book to make a giant dahlia quilt, and it includes a boat
load of paper templates. Any suggestions for the best way to use the
templates and get the pieces cut out accurately? Would you transfer the
paper templates to plastic? Other favorite methods?

OT Roses by
NightMist
I am really hoping Ms Butterfly or any other Rosarians here can help me
out a bit.
As most of you know my 4 year old grandson, Damian, is non-verbal
autistic. He is a bit rambunctious, so I have become my DD's plant
nursery. In addition to seed starting, she brings me over various plants

I have enjoyed being outside as much as possible but also continue to
de-clutter my house and studio in preparation for our move. We are
downsizing from our five...

OT - Receiving blanket by
Di Maloney[_3_]
My cousin in the USA is going to be a great grandmother any day now and I
was wondering what to make for the babe.
Could someone please explain what a 'receiving blanket' is and what it is
used for?
Or is there something more suitable I could make and send her?
Thanks for any ideas.

I am a Quilter by
Polly Esther[_5_]
Mr. Esther came through, held up a roll of blue masking tape about 10 feet
away from me and asked, "How wide is this tape?"
"One inch" I answered.
"Are you sure?" he dared to question.
"I am a quilter" I explained. How in this world could he doubt our
knowing something so...

Your email is coming back as invalid.
I've considered I might have done a dumb and tried a number of

Could you perhaps email me so I can get it right?

Needlethreaders and eyesight by
NightMist
Well now I have discovered part of why I could not see for spit for a
while there. I was nothing like as farsighted as my bifocals were
correcting for, nor quite so nearsighted as the rest of my glasses were
correcting for, nor do I have the astigmatism my glasses were trying to
correct for. ...
