this is a great board. I am two swaps right now and have gotten great 12 inch blocks. Also, when my wife was diognosed with breat cancer in feburary I sent out a message to ask if anyone had time to make her a chemo comfort quilt for which I was going to pay for and before you know it the "Angels" on this board got to gether and made her a beautiful quilt and to my surprise there was one for me too in the box. Pictures are posted under Robert and Cathy's comfort quilts. People send blocks from all over the world and a great man named Stuart in Flordia put them together and longarmed them. So that's why I call them " Angels". Welcome to the board.

What a beautiful story. The thing I like most about it is this, even with all of the sad, violent and depressing news we hear everyday. There are still people out there who are generous, with a beautiful heart. They want to help people out and take time out of their own life and troubles to do something meaningful for another person in need....and that really says something positive about the people on this board. :)

I've done local community theatre for YEARS! :) And really love it, here's a little example from when I did The Secret Garden. Now remember this is local community theatre in Iowa. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QWs4d-HBEg[/quote] That was amazing for community theatre. A real Irish Tenor. Great Job. Here are a couple of some of the costumes I made 20 years ago in LA, My Fair Lady was at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion and the King and I was at the Shrine Auditorium. I'll try and dig out the archives and scan a few more. I did the ascot scene costumes for My Fair Lady and "Miss Leanora" gowns and the Children's costumes for the king and I.

And what a wonderful host you were. It was a lot of fun. I pull something out to use it and get a really great feeling knowing it came from my very own angel Barb.
