A Surprising Laugh from Pat and a little 'how to' on communicating

Firstly I just have to share this e-mail from Pat with you, I didn't get it at first, not until I opened the link and all became so, so clear. Haven't laughed so much for a long time.
From Pat:
Found this great quilt pattern. Maybe a goer for another group quilt for the Brisbane show. No? Maybe it is all just a load of.........!!! Anyway you have to laugh, cheers Pat.

And yes, I could post the pic, but want you to have the same fun I did.- Not to be opened whilst drinking coffee - be warned!

Two mails from Wendy, first with some really delicious blocks
Hi Andrea
I thought you might like to add this to the blog which by the way is a terrific way for us all to keep in touch, and see what others are doing. I rejoined the Quilt show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Timms. I started their block of the month which has many more than one block each month as they are 6.5 inch blocks and an 85 in square quilt. It is made up of appliqué and shoo fly blocks that are all set on point. There is also another pieced block that I haven’t started yet. I decided to use all 1930 s prints and the same background. I think this might keep me busy for quite a while.

Wendy's second mail raised a question of communicating with one another via the blog.
Hi Andrea again,
I wanted to say that I loved Di’s blue quilt and wondered at the pattern. Is there any way we can comment on things in the blog?

So after a bit of faffing around I think I’ve got it set right (We had comments turned off for a long while and then restricted commenting) but now we are fully operational.
So a very short tutorial
At the very end of each post we now have a 'Post a Comment' window. You activate the window by clicking on the 'no comments' button, If comments have been made the tag will read '#' comments, clicking on that will give you access to all comments and the comments window.
Just type in what you want to say, select who you want to comment as and click on the Blue ‘Publish’ Button. (as far as I can tell Anonymous comments will not publish)
Select a new comment window for each topic you want to chat about.

If there is a comment from one of the group that you want to add to, select the ‘Reply’ button below the comment concerned and you will get a comment window. Don’t forget to hit that Blue Publish Button at the end.

If you go to the Thursday March 19th post “Battening down our Hatches” and scroll to the bottom you will see where the Darling and I have had a test run on comments and replies.

If you need to contact me and don’t know how, open the blog and in the top right hand corner of the paler blue strip you will find an address. This is the address I use for craft blogs and sites so of course, every time I want a little sit down with or without a drinkie, I check the mail, so you have a good chance of getting a reply within a few hours.
Cheers, and enjoy having a natter. (Maybe Di could give us a bit of a heads up about her quilt and the pattern, I'm sure Wendy isn't the only one of us curious.)
Andrea
