The next time you are washing your hands and complain
because the water temperature isn't just how you like
it, think about how things used to be.
Here are some facts about the 1500s:

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...

fowl and geese and owned many acres of land, I had a professionally made
sign to post at our driveway...... "Doodlebug Ranch and Quilt Studio".

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...

these rules of grammar.
Roberta in D
1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
4. It is wrong to ever split an...

Shawn
I've been perusing quilting magazine looking for one I liked and could
suggest to DS's and DH that a subscription would make a nice little BD gift.
Came across the June 2003 issue of Quilter's World. They have the
directions in there for a wacky-wedge quilt that is gorgeous. It's called

Kia Ora,
Well, not really having worked on any quilts this year (which I intend to

Way OT by

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

brief essay and forgot about it.

Maple Leaf - Revisited by
Jennifer Hepworth
Mardi, I don't understand why you would now want to put a 1" border
around each block? It seems to me that ending up with a =BD" finished
strip tagged on to each block only looks as though you want to avoid
joining seams where there are points to match. If this is the case,
then you could avoid...
