Well, I've researched it, and it's all very strange. The post office says it's illegal to mail tickets if they indicate three elements: prize, consideration, and chance. If any of those elements is missing, it's okay. In addition, they say that even though it's illegal, they won't indulge...

Thank you to Charlotte Hensen and Christina (via Merry Stahel). I was so excited when I got some squishies. Didn't think they could possibly be for me. They sure made my day. I'll be sure to be using them soon. First I need to fondle a while. Cathy in Oshkosh WI

Well, I've just finished the second birthday block for a friend. One will be having a surprise birthday tomorrow with a snowman theme and the other's will be in September. But both had deadlines. We're hoping to have a finished quilt for one tomorrow. Not involved with the second...

I replied to Leo privately and gently explained that this newsgroup does not accept items for sale. Cheri On Vancouver Island, Canada (but who does not need a Handi-Quilter) "Leo Velleman" wrote in message ... I hope this ia...

OK, since we have expert peoples on here who've done this before and know what they are doing!!! I have a question... I've been playing again today and have another 5 pairs of colours gently stewing in the bathroom. But as I had a small amount of dye left over, I had a go at space-dyeing an odd...

Hi Kathy My computer crashes if I press reply so I have to always start a new post! For the process of making chenille....you need four layers of fabric. One feature fabric, plus three others (can be plains) but do use at least one quite bright or definite contrast fabric. After layering all...

I was just "reading back" a few days. I noticed that Jo discovered that some of her permanent markers are not permanent, even when heat set. It had never crossed my mind (I admit the mind is limited, has lots of mileage and easily distracted) that permanent was a maybe, maybe not. Maybe we had...

Anyone know if there are any quilting shops in Toulouse, France, going there later this year for a short holiday. -- Janner "Quite often lately I have the feeling I don't know what's going on..." --- Snoopy! "You have to have a Dream!"

Thanks you! The quilt was an interesting project to tackle. I knew the subject of quilt as you go comes up here with some regularity, so I decided it might be a good idea to document what I did and share it with all of you. I hope people find it helpful. Julia in MN Lynn Tocker wrote: Hi...

let's just talk about fantastic bargains we've gotten the last few months, June & July 2003. Woohoo! My LQ(and craft)S has a clearance wall, and after our "Quilt Party" meeting (2 hours of presenting new products, a quick demo, show and tell, door prizes, and an exchange block with some...

I looked at all your quilt pictures and really enjoyed doing it. It made me just want to dash up to my sewing room and finish a project. Yvette "DebsPrintOnIt" wrote in message ... I just posted two pictures of my...

I'm getting to spend money on me and quilting finally! I got some money from my parents as a birthday gift, and DH says to spend alittle more since I so rarely go shopping for things for me especially hobby items. So far I haven't gotten much. I ordered a few patterns from Keepsake Quilting that...

A new feature, some of the newer sewing machine centers are run by Viking, not a local merchant. I know for sure that is the case in Rockford IL and since the JoAnn Stores in Chicago IL, Round Lake Beach IL, Topeka KS, Des Moines IA, Sioux City IA and Clive IA are also designated Viking Sewing...

There is a story in the Toronto Globe and Mail that made me howl. True, supposedly. Valdemar and Aldemar went to the doctor. Valdemar went to have an earache checked, Aldemar to get a vasectomy. When the nurse called Aldemar, Valdemar went in. Had the vasectomy. When asked why he didn't say...

Does anyone know the color temp and the color rendering index (CRI) of the famous "Ott Light"? If you want to see that information go to. http://solux.net/Ott_lite.htm Phil Bradfield Tailored Lighting Inc.

An Australian named Neil Moore developed a piano method called Simply Music, which I'm researching. I may want to change to this method but it represents a sizable investment of both time and $. Have any of you any experience with this piano method, or know anyone who is taking lessons from a...

It's great that you are entering things. I've been to the NYS fair lots of times, as a kid. My grandfather won first prize for his cheese one year - he was ill, so my mother (and all of us) went to accept the award for him. He was very proud of that ribbon! -- Teresa in...

Hi, I did buy a yard of that wonderful fabric with the black background and the margaritas, southwest foos , etc... on it. This will go into my Ramada /Houston 2002 quilt. I bought it at the quilt show last year. I think Pat & Kathy Z. bought some of it too. Kris ( in northren Virginia)
