My 21-year-old daughter got an honorable mention at the Omaha Quilt Guild show. http://www.omahaquiltersguild.org/2010Show/pix/122_0134.JPG The category was "Wall hanging / Throw, Pieced, Machine Quilted" Frank Reid (Woo Woo!) To view all the award winning quilts, go...

And he's back. Just saw a note on Facebook. Of course no answer to the phone call. Heaven forbid that children talk with their parents, but he's home, we're happy, and we can now wait for the next thing to worry about. Hopefully a lot tamer than this one. Steven, resting...

In the dozen years since we've been in the Swamp, there have been 3 home fires. This area is so remote that all the fire department can do mostly is bring sympathy cards. Back when I was gainfully employed we used to have fire drills and (better yet) lessons from the fire guys to teach us...

It may not change anything - we're addicted to our chocolate - but you really should know... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_in_cocoa_production We're not just talking child labor here - we're talking HUMAN TRAFFICKING i.e.SLAVERY. How's that chocolate taste now? Doc*

to sew? Summer doldrums? I don't know but I suspect it is because I have let my sewing area creep into a total state of disarray. So I need to clean it up (and find some missing parts of projects) and get it re-organized. But I'm having trouble getting beyond the inertia. So how do you get...

I want to thank everyone that sent me ugly fabric. Sunny, I just received the fabric from you and had a heck of a time getting it unwrapped rom the pkastic wrap, I could see that it was ugly but couldn't get it open to see how ugly, I finally got to it, the one is really ugly, Thanks again everyone.

I checked my email today and what to my wondering eyes did appear? but a bunch of panicked notes inquiring after our well being and asking how we were managing the flooding. I was completely baffled. Come to find out that Jamestown was featured on the weather channel yesterday. They made much...

I have booked a 24 day cruise for next March, and am looking for suggestions for blocks to stitch during quiet afternoons on board. I would like to take some whole-cloth work, but that takes up far too much room in a suitcase -- I am going carry-on only as I did for 27 days earlier this year. So...

Steven, I would be absolutely furious, too, if I were you. Guess it's a good thing you won't meet this guy, we don't want you strung up for murder and mayhem! Donna in SW Idaho __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5237 (20100629) __________

I am trying to build up some sewing stamina. Whew! I mean - WOOT! Karen, Queen of Squishies

Okay, let's see..... For some reason I couldn't post a reply or new message for a while and I really wanted to reply to a few things. G Welcome to the newcomers, glad to see every one else. (I could 'see' all along, just couldn't say anything.) Hope the upcoming surgery/surgeries go well for all...

Hi, I am beginning to organize my photos and move them to Flickr or Picassa from WebShots. (I'm experimenting with both right now.) I just LOVE this picture and wanted to sha http://www.flickr.com/photos/rita-ray/4742085425/in/set-72157624252147885/ Rita --

We're just dying to know what sort of folks read your garage sale ad and showed up. Polly

Hi All First, if you can spare good safety thoughts, prayers, juju, stars aligned, or whatever, Bert and I would certainly welcome it for the next two weeks. Our son has a friend that bought a motorbike in DC, had it trailerd to San Diego, and volunteered to DRIVE, YES DRIVE it all the way back...

I went to Michael's early last week, and bought not one but TWO Ott lights! I am using one of them at my computer for good light on overcast days and in the evenings, and the other for quilting. However, the one for quilting just wasn't good on the table next to my favorite wingback chair, so it...

Has anyone used Google Docs for sharing things like newsletters, etc? Any comments, any problems? Donna in SW Idaho __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5230 (20100625) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

Why is this you may ask? Because If I am going to get a weird illness or anything, that seems to be when it happens. When I had that extremely high fever and it felt like someone had shoved a red hot poker up my spine and into my brain it was in June. Pneumonia last year, late May into...

Yesterday I was busily sewing a red and white striped top for a child's surrey that my brother is restoring. It dates from the 1950's and holds three children, with the one in the back doing the pedaling and steering. When I finished it up, I was anxious to get it to the Post Office. When I...
