Re: Got a Match? Update on The Burning Man Festival 2008

As a Reno resident, the flurry of activity and anticipation for the two weeks prior to the event is amazing to see...even signs in the local super-store saying 'Burners: Supplies are in our patio section'!!! Costuming is amazing, crazy, creative and no-holds-barred, and although I couldn't stand the heat out there and won't ever be a participant, everyone who goes adores it! A lot of people left early because of a white-out dust storm yesterday. The amazing thing is the playa looks untouched by humans after everyone breaks down and leaves...there is no footprint on the earth! If you ever want a week's worth of down-to-earth creativity and comraderie, get your tickets early for next year!

Re: English Paper Piecing

I think the look and technique are great, but other than a quilt, the uses are limited...ok, I've seen a pattern for a clutch purse and a candle mat, but I haven't seen alot of ways to use this great way of piecing...CD Designs has some, but it's limited.

Michaela, you look soooo familiar, I wonder why! I'm in Reno, just a bit south of you (grin)...
