Hello folks, Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I copied all the messages that were sent to the newsgroup into an email for Alex, and here is his reply: Dear Jo, Thank you very much indeed. I really need a support now and I am deeply grateful to you. I am really alone. ...

Hi Folks My name is Marsha and I live in Masschusetts. I've been retired for about a year and have had both knees replaced since I've retired. I had my hips replace the previous year. So now I'm bionic! So Louise, I know where your DH is right now. Let me know if you want some tips on anything....

Hi everyone. After about a year away, I finally made it back to the group. I will not be posting much for awhile (until I get caught up on things) -- I just got my service set up, and there is 5100+ messages listed so I'm going to be very busy reading for awhile. Even once I'm caught up, I...

Okay, I spent the earlier part of today taking apart my troublesome Hot Flashes blocks and trying to figure out how to reconstruct them with a limited fabric supply. Just about the time I was about to throw it all in and become a couch veg for the day, I decided that I needed to try an...

Jokes of the day - the second may be a bit risque so the more dainty of y'all should perhaps avoid it. Don't say I didn't warn ya! A construction boss in Boston was interviewing men when along came a guy named Vinny from New York. "I'm not hiring any wise-ass New Yorker," the foreman thought, so...

Nana V, please email me with your email address. I would like to graph for you the comment that your granddaughter made on Halloween. That is too sweet. I know it will forever be a favorite saying in your family and rightfully so.

I was thinking about all the "Queen of...." that we seem to have. I realized that as little ones, you must have all been Princesses and THAT made me think of another story. On Halloween my DGD (age 3 years) was Sleeping Beauty. When she got back from Trick or Treating, she plunked her little...

I took a class at a not so local quilt store in November and it was a disaster. Mainly due to the teacher being clickish with the other class members who were also store employees. I received a call today from the teacher of that class she was just looking over her notes and she knows what she did...

almost. I had to go into the city today to have all my pre-op stuff done. Lab, x-rays, EKG. You know the kind of stuff. I'm going in a week from tomorrow to have a stent put in since my pulmonary vein is too narrow. Anyway, DH always takes the day off and drives me when I have appointments there...

I just finished a "ScreenPlay" tote - this is the one made with vinyl coated polyester pet screen. I've had the stuff for 2 years- finally just did it. I used Laurel Burch cat fabric, with contrasting bands. It's pretty cute- I'll used it. As always, I can see how to improve it. Now, maybe...

I recently saw in a quilting book a pinning tool used to pin safety pins into your quilt. Does anyone have one of these and have you been happy with it? Do you need anything else, like special clips, that go on the safety pins to make it work?

Nothing to lose? Just your soul! Ain't worth it.

I have been searching for a BOM online - seems like something fun to do - with my limited time one or two blocks a month isn't too bad and then at the end of the year - a whole quit ! Well, in all my searching I came across a website that has 2 different ones - AND one of them is in 4 colorways (I...

Hi all, just a note to let you all know that I am in fact still in the land of the living ( and hope to be for YEARS to come) The past two months have been filled with tummy bugs ( got that twice and so did the kids) and food poisoning (bad precooked chicken burgers that I will never ever buy...
