don't use them and do (a whole lot) hate useless clutter. I did an
appropriate amount of ohhh! and ahhh! but it just might be that they get...

OT please sign your posts by
Pat in Virginia
Hello! We've been having some lively
conversations here lately. I do enjoy
the various quilt topics, and some of
the off topic as well. For me, every
post would be even better if it was
signed. Quite a few are not signed
lately. When I send a "real" letter, I
