Newbie with a couple of questions by
Jo Pender
Hi there, I've recently started to lurk here and I have a couple of
questions about the newsgroup:
You seem to be involved in a great many good works, the hugs and charity
quilts especially. I've heard of the hug blocks, are they a standard
size? Are there any rules about the fabric/colours?
I...

OT any low-carb authorities here? by
polly esther
Our beloved DDIL is on a low-carb diet that would probably kill off all of
south Alabama and Mississippi. Enough cholesterol abounding to scare me to
death. However, it is helping her - she's lost 27 pounds when nothing,
nothing! else has ever worked. Tonight, she told me she was just...

EOT (eventually on topic) by
polly esther
For years now, I've thought it would be a good idea to make something like a
pink pig potholder to put on the front of my dishwasher. You know, sort of
a sign to warn me that the dishes inside have Not been washed. Not exactly
an original idea but so much better than artfully draping a...

OT Monster movies by
NightMist
Ok this is the one time of year that I wish I had cable. Polly
reminded me.
It has also inspired me to ask a completely off the wall question.
What is the absolute worst horror movie you have ever seen?
Every genre has bad movies, but with the possible exception of art
movies with a message,...

Why do you quilt? by
Reilly
Hi! I’m new to this forum. I started quilting for the first time last year. I’m still a beginner, but I’m having a great time learning. I finally worked up the nerve to join in the conversation because I have a question.

Boca Jan comes in first! by
polly esther
The first entry in the Ugly cheer has come in from Boca Jan. Well, she's
next door in Florida so that's no fair - but you would laugh if you could
see this one. I've realized that we all have different ideas of what is
ugly and some think there's no such thing. But . . . can you imagine...

OT Digital Camera Recommendations? by
Pat in Virginia
Well, it was over a year ago that our
Digital Camera broke. We need to get a
new one. This is related to quilting
because I want to take it to quilt
shows, and maybe even post some photos
of my quilts. We also want it for family
and travel photos. It must do all this,
be very user friendly, and not...

NOT OT - Quilting related businesses suffering? by
[email protected]
Hi all,
It suddenly seems that I am hearing far too much about quilting and
fabric shops closing both their brick and mortar as well as web stores.
Is anyone else sensing this or am I just not adapting well to the
change that is inevitable? Is anyone else losing special brick and
mortar stores at...

Story of a quilt by
Georg
It's long at start, but it'll get to the quilt eventually.
When I first moved out on my own, I got two kittens, from a friend's
barn. I called them Rascal and Stasia. They were rambunctious, but I
could tell something was wrong with Stasia's health. I took them to the
vet, and they were diagnosed...

I for one would like to know by
lisa skeen
who these deadbeats are that are stopping up your swaps. If they are on
this list, we future swappers do not want to deal with them. I know, I
know, we don't like to be negative, or ugly, but in the future it would be
bettter for the rest of us to avoid these people if possible.

My son called late last night and said her water broke, so we are all on

early, which is not particularly worrisome. Just wanted to spread the word
and get some safe delivery prayers going!

Donna973
I like to hear about good shops from which to order on-line, so I thought
I'd give some kudos to Batiks Plus (www.batiksplus.com). Just one order,
but I'll definitely check there again, especially if I'm looking for a
specific Hoffman batik. I was doing exactly that on Sunday afternoon. They
