different names ... but *Apple* - that's hurtful. (is that a word?) Sharon (N.B.) .................................................. ........................... .....

Absolute piffle!!
As you say, Cherry; but ... banana ... nectarine ... orange... grape - I think not gg .. In article kGHDd.7518$Tf5.2118@lakeread03, Pat in Virginia writes The actress Blythe Danner, Gwyneth's mother, stated in an interview I believe it is more common to name children after fruit in the United Kingdom. (More or less what she said.) I've met a few American women named Cherry, but no other fruit names. How about it, oh British friends? Are you using lots of fruit names over there? How about nuts?

Went to school with a sweet red-headed girl named... Cherri Redd. Then
there was the family with the kidlets named.... Stormi, Raini, Wendi, Sunni, Hailie, Spring and Autumn that I babysat for. I was sure their parents were cracked. ~handmaiden A&T wrote: I went to college with a set of twins named..... Candy and Sugar Kane I thought even then that their parents ought to be shot!!

*waving from her part of the icky IE - San Berdo*
Hiya neighbor! We gotta meet one of these days. ~handmaiden taria wrote: Great idea Wendy Taria here in So. Cal. I live in the yucky Inland Empire right now most of the time but still have a house in the high desert that I really think of as where I belong. I'm married 25 years come August to a wonderful DH. We have 2 kids DS almost 22 that lives in San Diego now and is going to school and works in law enforcement. DD is 20 and lives with us and goes to school. They are both wonderful and I am pretty proud of them. I have 3 QI's now. 2 kitties, Lily and Maki whom I really enjoy even though I am a reformed cat hater. An 8 mo Golden Retriever Georgia is my new buddy. Excepting that she chases the kitties she is really a joy. She is getting big but still a baby at heart. I quilt a lot. HAve sewn since I was a little kid. Dad says I was born already knowing how! 4H and Mrs. Flatten were a great help with clothing construction and I took my first quilting class in '75. I really like old quilts and old machines. I enjoy the history of the quilters before me. If you need an old Singer machine part holler. I have boxes full of the stuff when I can get to it. I have an old web page that dh is threatening to update. http://home1.gte.net/res6mc9p/taria/index.htm Thanks for the great thread Wendy! Taria in drizzly So. Cal. frood wrote: As newbies come and introduce themselves, we all say "hi" back to them. But, while we learn a bit about them, they don't get to know us very easily. (ok, except for a few gabby folks.... ;-P ) So, as a start to a new year, I thought it would be fun to tell a bit about ourselves, and get to know each other. I'm sure the newbies aren't the only one trying to keep the players straight without a score card! Ok, here goes! I'm Wendy, posting as "frood". I live in Central NC, USA. I'm married to a fabulous man, and we have 5 kids, ranging from 13 to 4 yo twins, known online as Spike and Giles. I've been quilting for about 7 or 8 years, mostly machine piecing and machine quilting. I love bright colors, and I collect vintage textiles. |

A4 is standard typing paper size (so approx 30 cm long by 21 cm wide, or
12" x 81/2") and A3 is twice that at 42cm long by 30cm wide. I hope your Durham has got better weather than we have! We had a severe weather warning out last night, gales and pouring rain still going. I'm going to get soaked but we've got to go out as DS is going to a friends birthday party and I haven't got a present yet. Any idea what 2 yr old girls like? Sarah |

Ok, finally coming back to life again and adding my 2 cents worth...
I'm Cindie, posting as handmaiden. I'm from Texas, hoping to move to WY or NE, but currently, I live in So. California (Inland Empire area - the armpit of LA) with my DH of almost 4 years, my 13 yo DS, and my 2 feline QI's. I've been sewing since I was 12 on a machine, and took up quilting in 1992 I think... Kinda hard to place since I started doing it to help out a friend whose mom got us both hooked finishing off her tops. I crochet, cross-stitch, knit (poorly, slowly, and rarely), paint for fun (badly), and enjoy making Ren-Faire costumes for my friends. I've done clothing from scratch as well as alterations and occasionally make stuffed animals. I am currently working on 6 quilts which are in various stages of completion, although I hope to have at least 4 done by the end of the month... depending on school demands. oh! I am going through the University of Phoenix online program for an accounting degree (finally) and work part-time in a boring, boring, boring job. I prefer dark chocolate nibbled with fresh strawberries or a nice box of truffles. Mmmmm. (I will settle happily for one of those dark chocolate oranges though.) ~handmaiden |

I live near Chesterfield and it is very rough here. I wonder how both my
sons fared last night on their ships in the North sea. Force 12 gales forecasted for them. They are Chief Electrical Officers on cargo ferries and they work on sister ships and they literally pass in the night about 2 to 3am in the morning as they ply between UK and Holland.

My mother went to school with the 7 daughters of an avid gardener, all named
after flowers. Pansy, Violet, Rose, Petunia, I can't remember the rest, but it got a bit odd near the end. No fruits, tho. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message news:kGHDd.7518$Tf5.2118@lakeread03...
