Good news post: On/off Topic by
Butterflywings
Since you'all have listened to me for the past umpteen years,,,,,,,,,I

Edna Pearl
I quilted a bunch of straight lines with a walking foot for the first time
today, and found it quite . . . erm . . . challenging. I am pretty sure

anybody all that innocent). An elderly friend of ours is paying $ 800 per
month for her medications. There are no generic substitutes and her
miserable tight-wad prescription insurance company won't pay a dime to help...

Saving New Year's Resolutions by
polly esther
Last year, I resolved to do something in the pineapple pattern. I didn't.
I resolved to do something using a toile. I haven't. So just think of the
time I've saved. Did any of you resolve to try something new and actually
do it?

ME: Dakota Colors? by
Dr. Zachary Smith
I recently purchased a design collection disc from Dakota
Collectibles.
Upon reviewing the design colors, I find that the color names Dakota
specifies (i.e. Dk. Dk. Rust, Blue4, Lt. Green2, etc.) do not
correspond with any of the brands of embroidery threads we currently
have. I checked Dakota's...
