The good news is there are 1269 people on this list - but only the same two dozen seem to email constantly.
This is a dragonfly and cattails. I think the dragonfly should be in another color or something, to make it more distinct.
I heard about GoogleIdol or Gidol today. I found it through a link to Pomme & Kelly lip syncing R-E-S-P-E-C-T. I can't stop watching this thing! I mean, the song makes you bop in your chair anyway, but these two crack me up. I've watched a few seconds of some of their other videos - will have to watch more later. I love how uninhibited and goofy they are. I started watching it before it was totally buffered so the freeze frames on some of the faces they make were hilarious. I could never be that loose in a room all by myself, let alone about in front of a camera. On the Internet!

The inexperience of the people on the Yahoo Quillers List is driving me batty. There have been 1234 email messages in March-to-date. I don't know how many I get per day but it's a lot. Fortunately the vast majority of them are fluff so I can blow through them pretty quickly - and I have them all filtered into a specific folder so they don't clutter up my In Box.
Someone will post a picture of their latest quilling project, then 55 people email in response, "How lovely!", "Nice work!" Or my other favorite is that someone will offer a pattern - and instead of just posting it on the Yahoo Group file page or attaching it to the email, they offer it to people, who then email the entire list, "Me too!" "I'd like the pattern too if it's not too much trouble." It's no trouble - she offered!

The even better news is I've found some excellent free patterns and gotten lots of inspiration and ideas. The talk lately has turned to paper embroidery - one of my very favorite things, as you well know.

Must be tired tonight. Didn't bop in my chair, shut it off and went back to my classical cd. :-)
Quite a refinement from the stitching cards Mom bought me when I was a kid.
Pretty, I like the dragonfly.
The video is a kick. I could SO see myself doing this at that age. I thought the girls did a great job.
Pretty cards. Do you ever tear the paper when you're sewing them?
It seems to be the norm for mailing lists to have a number of people who just don't know the rules! Geesh, people. Get a clue. ;~)
Ann - I've never torn the paper when stitching it because I pierce the paper with a needle tool first. I put the pattern on a light box with the stitching paper over it and poke all the holes - then go back and sew the whole thing. If I didn't do that, I probably would tear or crumple the paper trying to sew it.
I love that video clip!
Those stitching cards...love
'em. Great opportunity there for some really unique stuff. My birthday is November 10.

I was thinking of you this morning while watching Carol Duval. She had a segment on quilling and showed a balloon card. I don't know if you tivo'd it, but I'm sure it is on the hgtv web site.
Yep, Dara, that's the episode I saw not long ago where I learned to make those quilled balloons. I was so taken with them, I made one while the show was on. The link to the show is here.
