quilting books on sale

How do some crafters manage the crochret with all hook, the knit or quilts, plus be a computer expert? What I have seen on this computer is amazing, I hope others agree? I love crochet with all the hooks, I love quilt patterns, but do then in crochet also, I can knit, but does any one else do quilt patterns in crochet? I recorded my work the most difficult way. I have several books as a result, just for family, same as what I have done on the compute in a couple of years and not expert at all, but family knows that. I have nothing for sale and only make things for family. Because of this I thought my computer skills to be fair enough, after seeing what other crafters do on the computer, mine are not, aren't experts great? How many of us are pleased with these crafter that have computer skills also? Sorry, it is crochet, forgive me? I don't sell my creations either, Wanda, although the Lord willing, I hope to some day. I think we start to create web pages in order to share with others who "understand" us, our desire to create, re-create, and to leave a legacy for our families. It's not the same to have a picture of Aunt Wanda, than to have the picture AND an afghan, remembering when she would talk and laugh and have a hook or needles in her hands, working and talking and sharing with the rest. I hope to leave a legacy like that to my children!

How Can We Make A Difference?

We take a look back at some of the progress and regression in the last decade and ask ourselves this: How can we make a difference? How can we help fellow man? We see how one group has risen to the challenge in a creative way.

The last decade has brought changes upon America no one predicted. From technology to medicine to economics to politics, it seems that everything has changed. Some changes have been good, while others have been devastating.

Medical advances in the 00's have helped everyone from pre-mature babies to cancer patients to AIDS victims. New diseases have also set us back. Bird flue and mad cow disease, while not new, have certainly made headlines more often in the last ten years. West Nile Virus and H1N1 have also both taken a horrifying toll on our population's health and pocket books.

This decade has brought both fun and functional advances in cell phone technology. Ten years ago some people were still driving around with bag phones in their cars. Now our cell phones can talk to us, direct us, check our email and even instant message. Not to mention play videos and send pictures. These advances have been both good and bad for our nation.

The economy and politics is certainly an area that has gone to extremes this last decade. In 2000 we had a budget surplus. Times were great for the economy. No one thought that in ten years we would be in the mess we are in now. Because of bad political leadership, our country has fallen on some of the hardest times in the last century. Because our country has been run into the ground, our political parties have polarized. Now, it is up to our fearless leader to get the country back into shape.

Barak Obama gave us all a push to do more for fellow man during his inaugural address last year. While everyone interpreted his speech differently, one group of people came up with a brilliant plan to rise to the call to action. Blanket America charitable organization, founded my Mesh Gelman, created the Patchwork Heritage collection as a buy one, give one program to help those in need. With each sale of the Patchwork Heritage quilts, shams and pillows, a like item is donated to charity.
