Carrot (Karen), when you subscribe to a thread by clicking on Thread Tools, there is a "notification" section where you can choose to receive emails instance, daily, weekly, etc. The default is set for "control panel only" so you need to click on the drop down arrow on the right side and choose how you want to receive notifications.

We need a "Like" button on here. I'm a firm believer that attitude has everything to do with how well a chemo patient does. My ECA group makes chemo caps for our local hospital. I love giving them whatever comfort I can.

I would start by going to your local Oncology Dept. head and talking to someone in the office as to their requirements and protocol.

I'm all for anything that will give the patients some comfort.

I'm going to get off the computer and start cutting up my fabric!

I'm so glad to see everyone enjoying this way of doing the blocks. I thought it a bit different than exchanging blocks, and sometimes you receive a block, or sometimes not. This is a good way to collect blocks, or mix them with others, sash them, set them on point, make mug rugs, table runners, or just keep..
Keep chatting and posting the pictures, it's 'eye-candy' for sure.
