What a great site! I have several guys, cousins, SIL and hubby that I would make this for. They hate stuff that's loose and don't really want to take the time to create their own group of stuff. Oh my....something else on the todo list.

Just a little extra tidbit....I have a program I like a lot on my laptop - Nitro pdf creator. There is a free version and a paid version. I use the free one. When I want to save something like this, I go to Print, then print to the Nitro PDF creator. It saves all the info to a pdf file that resides on my laptop. It does print everything on the screen, so you get all the ads and anything else. But, it is the absolute best way I have found to make sure I keep this where I can find it even if I don't have Internet access at the time I want to look at it again.

Have a great day quilting!

Could be used for either sex, for many uses!

Love this idea for my son who travels a great deal. Will be making it for Christmas.

I also use a free program called Print Friendly that allows me to create a PDF file of anything I find on the web. It will create a PDF without all the ads that you find on most sites. You an save the PDF file, email it to someone (including yourself), or simply print it out. I use it all the time, but plan on checking out the program Nitro mentioned in this thread also.

This is wonderful! Every year I try to make something for the police officers that I serve with on several committees and this will be a great gift. Probably not enough time to do them for this year but definitely for next!
