Way OT by Nell Reynolds
Try to think of this as salt water chocolate. Some months ago, Old Bay Seasonings had an essay contest (100 words or less) on Why I Like Shrimp Boiled with Old Bay Seasoning. As a dyed in the wool contester, I wrote my brief essay and forgot about it. On Friday, I got a phone call from Julie with...

Vivien &/or Tony wrote: Kia Ora, Well, not really having worked on any quilts this year (which I intend to regard as Sabbatical rather than sloth), I am all fired up again. What got me motivated once more was DD#1 (she is 18 years old) asking if she could make a quilt. Not quite...

Color vote for Stack and Whack by CHARLES MURPHY
This brought up several interesting points: Color is subjective! Everyone sees color differently and responds personally. The yellow makes the blue glow,actually enhances the blue, (additive property of color) The green makes the orange wings and red lady bugs dance. The light blue makes the...

Smooth rolling vs rough braking by Jennifer Hepworth
It may not be caused by a dull rotary blade afterall though continued use will have that result. The next time you pick up your rotary cutter - take a moment to dismantle it and to look closely at the shaft of the holding screw. I was having 'sudden braking' and 'jerky starts' while using my...
