If it brings in a new ceo w/some common sense, I'd say great! Since supp. this newer one did all the rule changing to people not being able to say they had a bad buyer or seller and all sales going thru paypal only...argh! Thus why I don't buy there anymore! But, haven't heard the rumor otherwise:)

i'll open this up for talk on chit-chat instead if hijacking

I doubt that there will ever be an absolutely complete compendium of quilt block patterns.

I think that's in the same category as having the most up-to-date computer software.

Someone is always coming up with something new or putting a new twist on something old.

i agree. every time you look online. there's something new.
