I heard from Kate T of Picayune MS (sort of just north of New Orleans). She is alive and well - would love to know about her town. I knew very little but was overjoyed to hear from her. She may have posted her adventure here. I don't dare read much - the dialup connections come and go. Kate is...

The top is assembled and posted at http://community.webshots.com/album/426041188AUoVly Please forgive me, those whose blocks have not been acknowledged or posted.

The flower shop two doors away just resurfaced their parking lot this weekend. It appears that QI Katie Mae wandered through the parking lot sometime yesterday. Every time she takes a step she shakes her little paws. Her feet also smell like tar or creosote. David and I took soap and water to...

My friend called me this afternoon to tell me she had received a call from the Dairy Barn in Ohio where Quilt National is being shown. She won a sewing machine in the raffle! It's a Husquvarna (isn't that Viking now?) Quilter Designer II. Do any of you have that machine? She sews on...

My precious friends, here I am. Don't dare spend much time online - the phone lines are up just a bit but have to run the pc on generator and running the well for water is critical. Just to let you know that this is ME and not a hoax - the gators, I'm told, were attending a thanksgiving prayer...

Does anyone have a source for instructions for little tiny quilt blocks -- under 2"? I have seen them at quilt shows with pin backs stitched or glued to them. I made a dollhouse (1 inch/1 foot scale) quilt for a friend who's into miniatures. Actually, I made three. After I had bordered, quilted,...

Wasn't there a scandal that Red Cross had not used our 9-11 donations appropriately, but had paid the upper management billions of dollars salary instead? I am already learning of scammers taking donations for the hurricane victims, but my wallet is shut tight until I see what my government and...
