I am soooo mathmatically challenged! I am in the process of laying
out my next project. EQ5 I think has lost it's mind. It's a very
simple quilt. Ohio star blocks w/plain bocks in between - kind of.
Anyhow...I have a total of 156 plain and 1/2 triangle setting blocks.
They are 6 in. square. EQ5 is telling me I need 30 yds! I know this
is wrong but not sure how much fabric I really do need. I can not for
the life of me calculate this and my local sources are all busy and
not answering their phones! Help, PLEASE! TIA

I had my sweet grandson for the weekend (he's the one referenced in my siggy
line), and he actually showed a big interest in sewing while I was preparing
some binding for a baby quilt so I got some scraps and showed him the sewing
machine and he sewed his first seam with me by his side! I may have a
quilter in this family yet! He loved it! And was he proud of his
stitching. "Look how straight I sewed, Nana" he said beaming from ear to
ear! I must have done something right. He went off to play with some
construction paper and came to me with his scissors and asked if they were
ok to use on paper! It was a good day!

Finally decided to switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox. Got tired of
having to go to Firefox to view things Internet Explorer wouldn't let me
see.

Got any tips or advice for me?

A friend kept raving about Foxfire and I decided to try it just to shut her
up.....she was RIGHT! It runs smoothly and, for the failing middle aged
mind, it can remember passwords.

Happy quilting,

Because of Teddy's (Great Pyrenees/Old English Sheepdog) VERY large size,
it's going to cost a small fortune to have him professionally groomed every
month. It looks like I'm going to be keeping him shaved- I have never done
this before. I want to keep him in something similar to a puppy cut for
poodles. Does anybody here know anything about electric canine
clippers/shavers? Any brands to watch out for? Any considerations in what
is best yet reasonably priced? What accessories will I need? Help!

Did anyone find the bunny at Material Pleasures? I found all of them except
for this one and it is driving me nuts.

Thank you for any help I receive.
