Note to Brenda Reid by
Francis Reid
If you're reading this, you're well enough to go to work. If you still
think you're not well enough, I know you're too sick to play with the
new Juki and your quilting frame, so go back to bed and I'll be home
this afternoon to take care of you. Lay back, eat bon bons and fondle
your fabric.

Machines and thread question by
muse9
Do some machines simply not like certain thread brands? I have a 3 year old
Kenmore machine and until now I have only used Kenmore needles and Coats and
Clark thread. The more I learn about quilting the more I realize that I
should be using a better thread and maybe better needles as well. ...

My no longer missing son by
Marlys in Indiana
It would appear that the body found is that of my son, but they will not
consider it 100% until they check dental records. So absolute identity will
still take a little longer. Talked to the deputy coroner yesterday about
it.
But he was wearing the clothes he had been wearing, his wallet...

Not real sure what happened to... by
Karlee In Kansas
this group.
I left this group over a year ago because of all the hate mail, snide
remarks, and general bitchy-ness of the group.
I had been here for the better part of 5 years when I left. I had taken a
year off in there somewhere because of a lack of internet access.
I'm a recipient of a HUG. ...

Look Ma! No hands by
Polly Esther[_2_]
Well, fewer fingers anyway. I don't believe I did this. I was doing a
teensy-tiny close stipple around a giraffe's ear and needled right through a
finger. Since the ambulances must come in here via pirogue and nobody comes
in after dark, doing something stupid is simply not acceptable.

quilting endeavors... right?
Come on, admit it, right? ;-)
Ok, here's mine... can you top it? I bought EQ5 over 2 1/2 years ago... and
haven't done a dang thing with it yet. In fact I've barely even peeked at
it. Shame...

If you do online shopping, pay very close attention to your bill. I just
