Now I understand the joke about the bedspred and embroider. I never heard of her or saw any of her work. Found her in Google, thanks Interesting artist, not works that I want hung in my living room, but surely art. Kay -- All outgoing mail is scanned by Norton Anti Virus software.

Beautiful work Jan!! Patti in Seattle

I checked the floral fabric and there is green in it, but it's not just the green that's offset, it's the purple too. It does sort of match the blue/purple blocks, it's just duller. I went to the Rag Shop and Walmart again yesterday and could not find a subsitute to go with the rest of the colors....

Next week I'll be in Boston attending a technology conference and sure would like to fit in a visit to a local quilt shop; can anyone here suggest one? Specifically, I'll be in the area of Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. -Irene

I was able to get Thunderbird to work how I wanted. Even got it to show my screen name. Thanks for the help. Tamara

will get up pics of accomplishments tomorrow. Enjoyed myself immensly. The guild sponsored a retreaet to the Farmstead Inn in Shipshewana, Indiana -- a big Amish community. Seems so quilty to follow a horse-drawn buggy into town. Not to mention that EVERYWHERE you turn quilts are used as...

My wife is looking for a machine quilting frame and she has looked at a couple of different machines but does not know which one is better, she is looking at the little grace 2 but it dosent do king size,also the hintenberg and the handi quilter 2. If anyone knows about any of these or another...

Well, the day has finally dawned and Dh and me jet off to the UK. Over the next few weeks we will meet up with Pat on the Hill, Megwen in Bath, and hopefully, Jo in Scotland! I am sure they will post reports in due course. Happy stitching, keep smiling, and catch you later. --Bronnie I have...

No clue as to who it is from. Thank you. That was very thoughtful. It says Happy Birthday. My birthday isn't until the 23rd so you are really on the ball. I leave Thurs. for Lancaster, PA. Getting excited. I will be back on the 10th with a report for everyone.

I used to have a friend who would bring me clothes from the second hand store and broken items with which to decorate my house. Once she presented me with a torn decorative umbrella that she was sure would look great in my apartment. I tried saying politely that she shouldn't have, that I had...

That's wonderful news Irene..... I know she's been through a lot. Good, good for her!! Patti in Seattle

I want to thank two anonymous birthday squishers! Ms. ID and Ms. GA. I also have thanked one other squisher privately. Thank you all so much I am definitely putting them in my collection for a QFM (Quilt for Me). Thanks again! Life has been hectic lately (preparing to move and work being very...

Don't Break The Elastic!! In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.

Hey guys, it has been a long time. My laptop stopped cooperating, and reading the newsgroup became too complicated.. anyway, I am just emailing to let you know I finished two RCTQ projects in time for my guild's 2007 show, and I have pics to show you! The first one is my 2005 BOM...

I was just wondering how you are doing. Is your shoulder improving? How does your job change with the end of the school year? Wayne, Alex and I will be heading to Corvallis on Saturday for Marta's graduation on Sunday. It is hard to believe our kids are young adults now! Marta has a job at AVI...

You can buy "Ruby Beholders" (pieces of red perspex) to look through for helping to determine colour values too now. They work, but I made a couple from old embroidery frames with some coloured cellophane paper - double thickness, one set of red and one of green. The green is to use when looking...

Happy dancing for you Maryd. Dixie. When I give to you something I made with my hands I share my heart.

(Spew warning! -- Nann) Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk. I took out two cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so life...
