Thanks so very much. I think it does also. Just gotta learn how to quilt. That about sums me up when my brain works faster than what I can put down on paper.

You can do a yahoo search for PRODIGY and it will bring you to all the various groups they have going, just go down to PAFUN and click and it'll tell you how to join and if you don't have access to the web or yahoo just send email to pafun@listserv.prodigy.com and ask them how to join --- 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: E5V00012 Date: 05/23/97 From: PAT KNOX Time: 07:39am \/To: JULIE VEST (Read 0 times) Subj: Orvus - Discontinuation Julie Vest wrote in a message to All: JV> Recently while in the local quilting shop I was made aware of JV> the fact that the makers of Orvus will stop making it soon.

I want to thank Julie for thinking to ask me first before she posted this. I already knew about this matter, but hadn't thought to post about it. I have even called the company. Depending on whom you speak with they will either tell you that it is true or that they know nothing about it. A very nice young lady I spoke with told me that they are definitely getting calls on this subject but still know nothing about it. The company is asking that EVERYONE send a letter to them and let them know that we want and use this product. It is the only way to save it. So please write those letters and get them out today!

They do not have Orvus scheduled to be made after August of this year. At least, not for resale. They may make it for use in their own products, but not sale it. That is what I was told by an employee of P&G. Everyone who calls is getting a different story. I think that the letters won't hurt. Don't mean to argue with you, but three of us called P&G on the same day at about the same time and we each got different stories. P&G isn't saying anything definitive on this matter.
