Ellis Island Immigration by
frood
My family bought a brick with my father's name on it for Ellis Island, to
commemorate my parents' immigration in 1962, even though they came in
through JFK airport (was it called JFK in '62?) in New York, not Ellis
Island.
I'm glad you got the info you needed,...

Almost done!!! Happy Dance - squared by
Jim Vander Noot
One down, one almost there!
Today I got the binding done on the memorial quilt for my best friend's mom,
who passed away in May. It's only 14x18, but machine applique with trapunto
and some free-motion embroidery. Used Ricky Tims' piped binding techique to
bring out the slight red accent color. ...

Quilt Dimensions by
Sherry Starr
I thought I had the various sizes for twin, full, queen, etc. somewhere. I
obviously put it where I could find it again (VBG). I thought there was a

Palm Springs to relax and sun ourselves by the pool at our favorite resort.
So we piled the kids and all their "stuff" into the big green minivan, and
headed out to the desert! The kids had a blast in the pool, and I...

I am almost done piecing all the little blocks for the state fair quilt.
I know, not as good as actually finishing the quilt, but still, it's
progress for me!!

things - hard labor with power tools - so I have been a bit...

OT-recipe - ANZAC cookies by
Vivien &/or Tony
Kia Ora,
The NZ in aNZac stands for New Zealand, so although Australians claim these
as their own treasures, they belong, rightly, to us both ;-)
Here is the recipe from the "Bible" of Baking, here in NZ - the Edmonds Cook
Book(first printing in 1955; the best-selling NZ book ever):

As some of you know, I'm moving to Aberystwyth in September and we're having
a terrible time finding places to live - people DO NOT want 18 year old
