Well, I thought you all were snubbing me! Three posts and no
responses. My feelings were about to get hurt - LOL! Turns out, I'm
invisible! Should make that next shopping trip a lot more interesting.
I logged in to Google Groups and - yep - my posts don't appear
anywhere. Must have something to do with the TCP/IP connection
terminated - yada yada message that I keep getting. Whew! I thought
the Quilt Police had finally banned me from RCTQ. So.... Here are
some quickies on my three missing posts:

1.) Terribly cute animation. If you've ever thought that your computer
had a mind of it's own, you need to see this. FYI, the hosting site is
called Deviant Art, but I promise it is not naughty, nasty or bad in
nature. The programmer worked on this for 3 months and I think it is
well worth his effort. My kids LOVED it! His gallery has a couple
more, like Birthday Clocks, that are worth a look as well:

2.) Potential Copyright Law changes in the US. This has been floating
around the quilting designers world for a few days. Thought that
anyone interested in US design stuff should check it out. I did send
an email, through the site, to my local Wash DC reps. The changes
proposed could have a HUGE impact on design work, movies,
publications, etc. across the US, as well as what could be available
inside the US from around the world. If interested: http://www.owoh.org/

3.) This one probably had good reason for no response. LOL. I
mentioned it to my class this week, and just got blank stares. I'm
looking for some inspirations to finish some of these themed panel
sets that I found lurking in my stash. Some baby, sleepy time stuff,
some Black Crows, Christmas kitties & Sweet Potato Pie. I have several
width of fabric decorative panels, along with sets of coordinating
line fabrics. The ones that have squares, I can wrangle around by
cutting them into individual blocks, but these stupid panels are
giving me a fit! The "standard" patterns call for "bricks" or stripes
or rail blocks. I'd like something a little more interesting but am
having mental blocks. I know I bought these for a reason, but that
was, unfornately, quite a while ago and I forgot. Any books out there,
or inspirational sites, how about your own panel projects, anything
that you particularly enjoy from these? I did see the Cache borders
(another missing post) and that gave me some ideas. What does the
group have on this one??

Bye for now, back to invisibility.

A book I've enjoyed for crib quilt panels is Clever Quilts by Susan
Teegarden Dissmore. The truth is, I haven't actually tested the patterns
for accuracy since all panels and fussy cut blocks can be strange sizes but
the book is a treasure. Polly

The Forest Quilt for Kia came from that book. I remember someone else
used another of the patterns around the same time.

I'll use it again.
