Wanted to let you know it is almost on it's way to you. I did something a little different but I'll let that part be a surprise. Once again I do ask not to be put in the drawing. As I had said before I'm not always able to take part in the exchange due to an injury and it would not be fair to those who make blocks every month. Thanks. Dot ... Push any key.

Hi Julia, I've been thinking up crazy ideas during my down time and wanted some input on this one. I think it might work. QBE with a twist! Seeing that the QBE seems to have slowed down I was trying to think of something that might perk up some interest and this is what I came up with. Instead of having to sew a block each month have a mystery QBE. What it would involve is:............ Lets say your pattern choice has 4 pieces and 3 fabrics just for argument sake. The participants would 1 cut pieces from the fabrics. Pin corresponding paper template to the pieces and mark them ie. piece A-1, B-2, C-2 and E-3. That would account for 4pcs in 3 colors. Now insert a piece of paper with the placement according to the row ie A-1 B-2 C-2 A-1 A-1 E-3 E-3 A-1 A-1 B-2 C-2 A-1 Hope I'm explaining this well. Anyway now the winner has a mystery block to make, the templates, incase it's a new design she doesn't have, the cut fabric pieces and placement rections. What do you think? You can answer when you are up to it. No rush! Chat when you can. Dot ...

If you happen to have a chance to glance at it tell me what you think of it. I have been trying to think up different ideas to inject more interest in the QBE and that's what I came up with. Bordom can be dangerous.

The ad was in "Crafts and Things." Video Offer PO Box 7050 Dept K Rosemont, Illinois 60018-7050 The offer was $4.99 for the video and a starter kit. I think it would be a great buy for anyone interested in learning ribbon embroidery. Good luck. Along with making thank you notes for after my son's wedding, I love doing ribbon work.

In this state, shooting ANYTHING at domestic animals is considered cruelty to animals and can lead to an arrest. Furthermore, there is a child here in critial condition who was shot in the chest with a pistol like that, and the authorities take a dim view of anyone using such a weapon anywhere but a pistol range. There are all kinds of sprays and other deterrents available on the market to keep animals off your property. There is no justification for anyone using dangerous means. --- timEd/386 1.10 * Origin: TNC - (860) 963-1187 - 2.4kbps-33.6kbps!

I truly thought I had thanked you for my latest, wonderful, gift. I now see that I did not! I am so very sorry. I just love the cat door stop in plastic canvas. I will enjoy doing it this summer. As you said, I do love cats and this one reminds me of one we lost several years ago. The door stop will be named "spice" in honor of him.

As the day went by it got worse and spread from about the middle of my back to my neck from side to side. I tried everything to get rid of it and not much change. Slept pretty good last night but today the pain is back. I took pain killers I was given a few months ago by my doctor and used that hot bengay w/out much use. Pills alone should have put me in la-la land but didn't. Don't know if it's a pinched nerve or what but some of the symptoms are similiar to what I had last year but in my neck, can't move it much from side to side or up and down. I figure the devil just wants to annoy me because I'm enjoying myself but I refuse to let him. Found out today also that Mom is in the hospital, intensive care, with pneumonia in both lungs. If you remember she can't breathe on her own so they have her there to monitor making sure it'll come out all right. Be praying for her. Sis told me she gave the doc a problem about putting her there but it's for her own good. She's pretty stubborn. They have the equipment and staff to tend to someone in her condition. Anyway be praying if you're a warrior for the Lord. Now that I have shared back to crafting. :-) --- Platinum Xpress/Win/Wildcat5! v2.0 * Origin: The NeverEnding BBS/Deltona,FL/407-860-7720/neverendi (1:3618/555) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 172 CRAFTING Ref: E5V00003 Date: 05/24/97 From: WENDY APGAR Time: 03:09pm \/To: WANDA GUIN (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: recieved note! :) As Wanda Guin was saying to Wendy Apgar: WG> You have been an encouragement to me, so much!
