A touching book on quilting by
Janice Davis
Nope this is not a book on quilting designs or techniques. Actually, the book is titled "What I Learned From God While Quilting." It is one of those books you just stumble on; you're not actually looking for it. I have it and it is very short, sweet, and endearing. If any of you would like it to...

OT - Tattoo by
LN \(remove NOSPAM\)
Two elderly women were in a beauty parlor getting their hair done, when in
walks a young chick with a low cut blouse that revealed a rose tattooed on
one boob. One lady leaned over to the other and said, "She don't know it,
but in 50 years she'll be wearing a long stemmed rose in a hanging basket!

A woman's group I'm in has an ornament exchange at its holiday party.

wallhangings. This will be the third year (how quickly a tradition is
established) -- and I finished the 2003 edition last night. I used a...

Help with glue sticks for applique by
The Brown Family
I've just started using a glue stick for doing appliqué and I really like
it, except the glue stick gets really gummy pretty quickly. I've put them
in the freezer and it helps a bit for a while. I have the Ross glue sticks,
are there better ones, what do you use?
