Met Up with Jane!! Question for Judges!!!

At long last, Jane/NC and I met today at the Asheville Quilt Show. What a terrific lady! Hope we get to meet again!

Anyone who does judging or helps with it, here's a question for you. A friend was taught to "fill out" her binding so it would be full. But in a note from a Judge, it said "binding should lay flat and straight." (She had measured x amount of inches on the border and used a long ruler to cut the sides straight before binding). OK, kiddies, which is it?? Or is that a Judge's personal choice type thing?? All help appreciated. Lavinia

So glad to be back on the board

Lots of things happening in Fla.
We had a lightning strike by the house last Tuesday, the cable, phones, were out for 4 days. Internet too. One little TV in the kitchen was fried, as was the garage door opener. Two electric outlets were fried. I'm glad the house didn't catch on fire!
Been playing catch up.
Now the guys who are doing the tile for the kitchen, laundry room and 1 bath are here. They spent 8 hrs. yesterday jack-hammering out the old tile, and today did the tile in the bathroom. It will be lovely when finished. The whole house is DUSTY. The walls are dusty!.
Fortunatly DH is in the A/C business, as we had to have the central unit turned off, he had a worker come out and give me a window unit, so I could hide in there all day yesterday, and most of today.
It was 85 with 68% humidity as of 4:00 PM. --inside the house. I have just turned the unit back on, so in about 30 min. it should cool off.
I'm going to quilt guild meeting at 7:00 tonight, haven't been since Jan. It will be good to get together with some women and talk "quilt".
Another thunder storm is coming this way, so will sign off. Going to call the electric Co. tomorrow and see about a whole house serge proctector.
Fortunately the big screen TV had it's own, as well as the computer.
Sara is soggy Fla.

And, nor could I

The page came up "Cannot be displayed".

Must have been some problem over the week-end and perhaps it wasn't being monitored. It was off several weeks ago as well at my end, at least.

Lovely summer weather here in southern Ontario...thankfully, few of those really hot days that marks summer for us and not great for cottage-goers but the cooler temperatures are easier to deal with and as long as I can keep my windows open and the fresh breezes coming in, that's summer to me.

Glad to see the board operational.

page difficulties

She meant she couldn't get the page to come up at all. Neither could I! I'm so glad to see it again.
Thanks Eric!

TESTING, TESTING

Doris tells me she can't "get on" the chat page. Don't know if she means can't access or can't post. Just thought I'd test it. So far so good.
