Thank you to all who sent msgs. of prayers and thoughts for me and my family on the loss of our youngest son. I'm still in a "numb" state of mind. He was only 28 y.o. - and (apparently) died in his sleep while staying overnight with his brother and niece after her B/D party. We likely won't know...

Please think of me tomorrow around mid-day, with good thoughts, a prayer, white light--whatever you're willing to send up -- as I receive a couple of heart valve replacements and a bypasss (still so surprised, I actually don't know if it's a double or triple--this all came as a COMPLETE surprise...

My sister is crazy. I know you're not surprised. Both of us love weddings and are looking forward to the Royal one. But . . . at 4 a.m.? DS is always appropriately dressed and we suspect that she puts on full makeup before taking a shower. She always looks like what Grandmother called...

Hi, Last post: Matilda's Own Round Revolving Rotary Cutting Mat | posted by RevRobertson on 04-27-2011 Just want to say that I have spoken to the manufacturers here in Melbourne and that there are delays obtaining a part for these mats which evidently improves their operation. It will take a...

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery and a rapid and full recovery! ME-Judy

Yippeee! Finished the farmyard wall-hanging at last - it began to drag a bit towards the end. -- Sally at the Seaside ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~uk http://picasaweb.google.com/SallySeaside

I know I haven't posted much in a long time but I need prayers now. I had 2 heart attacks last week and now facing double bypass surgery tomorrow. Please pray for the surgeons and for me that I can return to family, quilting, and work soon. -- Mary This is a day the lord has made. Let us...

Good to hear that you'll be headed home after your surgery. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! ME-Judy

A bit of wisdom from Albus Dumbledore. "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are, it is our choices." It doesn't matter whether the Design Wall is a fine one or a flannel-backed tablecloth tossed over a door. Standing back and studying for a few minutes or weeks is a good, good...

The lady I work with has a niece who just gave birth prematurely to twin girls. Sadly one passed away. I am making two preemie quilts to give to the surviving twin, Tae. My QI does jump up on the table occasionally to see if there is anything to his liking, but I've never seen him lay on the...

Those of you among my FB Friends have had an opportunity to see these, but here's the link for everyone else. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=346709&id=29373207348&l=cdbb81ca17 April 13 was Snapshot Day in Illinois libraries. The purpose was to document the array of library services that...

Anyone going to Women of Faith in Vegas next weekend? I will fly there on Thur. and leave Sun.

I have been down in the basement workshop for awhile and this is the result. I had need of corralling a lot of meditation cushions into one storage place and keeping them clean and out of sight. What evolved is a varnished, pine storage chest, that is constructed with dovetails and breadboard top...

I mostly make quillows, along with a few wall quilts of widely varying sizes. A month ago, I was visiting my son and I noticed that the quilt I had made him eight or nine years ago was looking a little tatty. Of course it might just need a good laundering (he's a bachelor grad student going on...

I just found out there is an Excel formula for Flynn backing. Would someone PLEASE send this to me. First time ever to use this.

Have you received my emails about mat? Cheers, -- Di I'm creative! You can't expect me to be neat too. Vic Australia

Saw in the paper today Walmart is bringing back the fabric department, at least in some stores. They realize they made a mistake closing it and a few other depts. DUH -- Gen http://community.webshots.com/user/Coren920

Today I went to our closest Joanne's to buy some vinyl chalkboard cloth for a craft project. Several weeks ago, I called them to ask about it, and was told they had it in stock. Of course, when I got there, they couldn't find it. I wasn't too optomistic today either even though they had...
