Rochester, NY, Woman Designs Educational Greeting Card for Quilters
Quilt Gift Card designer and writer Sue Carmichael says calmly, "I needed one and there wasn't anything like it on the market," when asked how she came up with the idea for her line of greeting cards made especially for quilters to include with a gift quilt.
Each of the six different card styles; wedding, baby, birthday, graduation, Christmas and a blank one has "The Anatomy of a Quilt"? printed on the inside cover which gives a synopsis of the quilt making process, defines some of the terms quilters use and gives the care instructions.
Each card can be personalized on the front with a piece of fabric from the gift quilt or with a picture of the quilt itself.
Sue explains, "My passion is quilting and I want the quilts I make to be used, not piled in a dark cupboard so the sun can't fade them.
I certainly don't need another quilt for myself, so I give them away as gifts.
I realized I wasn't telling the recipients how to care for the present...

?Christmas For One: Mental Health Over the Holidays"
My dear friend, poet Dessa Byrd Reed, often spends holidays alone as a widow.
However, she doesn't see this, as many people often do, as a depressing circumstance.
In a November 2000 POETIC VOICES interview, she said, "Because I am single and live alone, I eat out a lot. I love to talk to strangers. That's one of my favorite things.
I go out for breakfast and talk to people."Another talented writer, Leslie Lafayette, dealt with being a childless woman by choice in WHY DON'T YOU HAVE KIDS?: Living a Full Life Without Parenthood.
You can bet that because of her choice many people would pity her.
She writes the "Alone Again, Naturally" column for the outstanding magazine THE DESERT WOMAN.
Observers might conclude she's miserable on the holidays.Both Leslie and Dessa have full lives and radiate Christmas cheer, not just in December but all year round.
While we all need human contact, it's a mistake to conclude that people without...
How To Sell Santa?s Slip-Ups
Shoppers spent more than $15.5 billion this Christmas on gifts on the Internet alone. Just imagine how many millions went to unwanted polka dot sweaters, electric nose hair clippers, and thigh masters. That wasted cash piled up under the Christmas tree. We've all had it happen to us. In fact, you had it happen to you this year.
You unwrapped the pretty red bow and tore through the shiny paper on that present from your Uncle Mortie, and immediately, you had to put on your best poker face.How did you know I needed a sushi roller kit?" you exclaimed with as much excitement as you could muster through gritted teeth.The problem is you don't eat fish sticks, let alone raw salmon.You can't be too sore at poor Uncle Mortie, though, and the other friends and family who gave you unwanted holiday gifts this season. Buying Christmas gifts is difficult work. Then again, getting rid of a doosie of a Christmas gift is no piece of fruitcake either. That is, unless you know how to use the Internet...
