it has become. Who would have ever thought mud would be a good dying

THE UNIVERSAL PRESCRIPTION

No moving parts, no batteries;

No monthly payments and no fees.

Inflation proof, non-taxable;

In fact, it's quite relax-able.

It can't be stolen, won't pollute;

One size fits all, do not dilute.

It uses little energy,

But yields results enormously.

Relieves your tension and your stress,

Invigorates your happiness.

Combats depression, makes you beam,

And elevates your self esteem!

Your circulation it corrects

Without unpleasant side effects

It is, I think, the perfect drug:

May I prescribe, my friend . . . the {{{HUG}}}!

(and, of course, fully returnable!)

Isn't it great?

Christina,

If you have or know anyone who has Blockbase this pieced pattern is on

there. With this software you can print it out in any size you need. I

had looked for it a couple months ago and several people on QB were kind

enough to offer to send it to me so that's also an alternative.

Good luck...sounds like a great project.

Hi, everyone. I'm a lurker and a children's librarian. I have so enjoyed

and learned so much from all of your posts.

I do have a concern about some of the postings where people say things like,

"I'll make a copy and send it to you." Copyright is a very complicated issue anand I would have to be a copyright attorney to answer all the "what if's" that

my post might generate. But, some of these things are clearly against

copyright law and you guys should know that you could be sued. And please

don't thing that it won't happen because it could and it does and it will

continue. Copyright is a protection given to the person who is responsible

for the work (or someone else who might own the copyright, like a publisher

or family member.) This means that ONLY he or she has the right to copy unless

you ask for written permission. There have been lawsuits amounting to as

much as 3 million for a guy who copied a published photo and made it into

a sculpture. So, according ro fair use laws, there are instances where you

can make copies for your own use, but you may not make a copy and give it

to someone else. You are denying the copyright owner a sale, taking money

right out of his pocket, reducing the value of his(her) product, and discouraging people from publishing.

While I'm on the subject, you might also like to know that today many books

have a publishing "run" of THREE MONTHS!!! The thing is, there are so many

publishers out there and warehouse space is just too precious to be used

storing books. Of course Danielle Steele's stuff will run longer, but lots

of stuff goes out of print the same year it was published. That doesn't

mean you can't get the book. Often, if there are enough requests through

book stores and libraries, a publisher will run it again. And, some book

store somewhere may have it. It's just going to take a little work. In

our library we know that if we don't purchase a book when we first read

the review, we may never get it.

So, when you see something you like, you probably better get it. But, don't

copy it!!!!

Hi everyone,

For my 25th Anniversary, I am doing a long awaited tour of the SW and NW. A

loop from the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion Park, Canyonlands, thru Salt

Lake City, up to Yellowstone Park. Possibly down thru Denver to Santa FE.

Depends whether the fare is cheaper to Denver vs other cities. We are flexible.

I would love to see some museums that had antique quilts. My husband will

come to museums to look at quilts. We also enjoy any good museums-it will

all be different for me as an east coaster.

I have quilt show listings from QNMagazine, and probably haven't got a

prayer of stopping at a fabric shop, but would love any recomendations on

museums from those that know!

I know this is somewhat off the topic, but up to date regional info on

museums is hard to find from a distance.

Please use your discretion whether to respond privately or if this info

would be fun for the group. Thanks in advance.

Recently I have changed "vocations" and instead of working hours on crafts

that I have to take to local craft shows (braving heat, rain, poor

attendance, etc.), I am buying and selling antiques. My most profitable and

enjoyable purchases are old quilts. Most of these are bought at antique and

estate auctions. Many of the estate auctions are usually attended by some

family members. It's hard for me to imagine how they can part with some of

the heirlooms, especially the quilts and family pictures. My most recent

acquistion has been added to my personal collection, although I originally

intended to resell it. It is a pre-1900 feathered star pattern (I haven't

researched the exact name yet) with some wear on one particular brown

calico used on some of the stars (maybe 5% of the whole quilt). The

stitches are 16-18 to the inch (!!!!!!!!) and quilted in straight rows that

are 5/8" apart. There are initials S.E.S. on the back, which was one of the

deciding factors in adding it to my collection -- I have no signed quilts,

except my own. I was able to ask one of the family members if they knew the

quilter. The quilter was this lady's great-grandmother and her married name

was Sally Armstrong -- she didn't know her maiden name. I could not believe

that the family would let this go. There were quite a few dealers at this

sale, yet I was able to "steal" it for a mere $65!!!!

Just thought I would add my two cents worth to comments regarding family's

selling heirlooms. Of course, if they didn't, some of us would be out of

business.

Thanks, Gail.

Dear QHL'ers, I've been out of touch so I hope this post isn't so far

after the fact that you pass it by, but...A few years ago, during my

graduate studies, I took a course in folklore, and most of us in the

class soon discovered that our professor was an impossibly snooty (she

acted as though because _she_ had the graduate degree that made her

smarter and us lowly grad students couldn't possibly understand her

esoteric subject matter; we hated her royally!) and that anything we got

out of the class we would have to fight hard for. Well, when term paper

time came around, I chose "marriageble myths" as my subject, knowing

that she would never catch on to the fact that the whole thing was a dig

to her, being unmarried. I wrote the apple thing and back when I was a

girl in the fifties, when we dressed in the morning, for each button on

our outfit we would recite the old poem "Doctor, sailor, Indian chief,

etc," one profession for each button. My paper had about twenty of these

myths (folklores) and the opening line (I can't remember it now) was a

direct dig at "old maids." She might have caught on because my grade

was somewhat lower than I felt it deserved. Thanks for letting me share

a non-quilting related story. Sharon, Quilts & Answers, Boise, Idaho.

I would have to agree this is a good possibility, don't jump to conclusions.

I have family heirlooms passed down from my in-laws including statuary, an

original Edison phonograph, jewelry etc. I wouldn't dream of selling any

tiny piece, but I did have some unusual pieces appraised and I added them to

my insurance. I've done the same with my 'better' quilting efforts. I am a

Hi All,

Someone asked about stenciled quilts, in 1992 I completed one for my DS's

wedding gift. It was a Spartex, Queen Size, the fabric was very good

quality, marked clearly, and included bias binding. I finished the quilt in

6 mo., talk about sore fingers. I soaked it in clear, warm water in the bath

tub, drained the tub, transferred it to the washer spin cycle and dryed it

flat on the basement floor on sheets (late October, not much sun in Ohio).

All the marks disapperaed with one wash. DS and DIL loved it and keep it on

their bed year round (live near Aspen, CO). I had very good results and

would try it again, but would give myself longer to do the quilting.

Recieved my Sept/Oct "Pieceworks" yesterday, there is a wonderful article

about Marion Cheever Whiteside Newton's Story Book Quilts, five pages of

detailed pictures, by Naida Patterson. At the end of the story it tells that

a version of the article appeared in Volume 16, 1995, of Uncoverings. Also

on pg 46 is a one page article about "Tar Beach" by Faith Ringgold. If you

haven't seen this magazine it is a wonderful sorce of "History" on a variety

of subjects. There is also a great story about Beatrix Potter's "Tailor of

Gloucester" drawings and the clothing that inspired them. No affiliation

I have to agree with Judy... some of these requests have struck a nerve

here, too (although I'm not a librarian; but am a copyright holder!). Just

to boil it down to a few words, PLEASE think about what you're doing when

you ask for copies, especially if it's for something that's still in print.

Although quilters have traditionally "shared" things, we really need to

abide by the laws of the land, whether we agree with them or not, AND

whether or not it's more convenient for us.

I hate to sound "preachy," but we really need to be conscious of what we're

Thank goodness the myth of the "Old Maid" has been debunked--now the term

represents little other than an anachronistic card game. It's awfully

made up for that since I returned.

What projects are you working on? I went all the way to Alabama to find

the needed material to match the background fabric for my son's sampler

quilt. It is forest greens and deep purples. I can hardly wait to get

that done so I can devote more time to the 4" block sampler quilt I am

making to hang on my wall behind my bed. It is really beautiful. I saw

the book in a quilt shop in Smittsburg, Pa. and fell in love with it. It

wonderful benefit in my life. Quilters are really real, wonderful, warm

people who really care about their fellow man.

I stopped at a quilters in Alabama while we were there and what a

wonderful visit we had. It really makes this list really come alive. I

can hardly wait for next month when I go to a quilting weekend in

Hastings, Michigan. I know that there will be several fellow DJ'ers as

well as fellow interneters there. You couldn't have asked for anything

better than this.

So, what projects do you have in the fire now? I am cutting out a 12

Days of Christmas quilt using lots of Hoffman fabric in it. One of my

students showed me the quilt and it is gorgeous. I have some of the

block pieces cut out already, but the more I go shopping and find fabric

sales on Hoffman fabric the happier I become.

Must run. I have a big long list of "to do" items today. Talk to you

soon

Glad you liked it! I'm going for two root canals tomorrow so I have to go

fast. I'm trying to finish a vest so that I can do the hand worked

buttonholes while I wait for hours at the clinic.

Hope you get your rain, love!
