Here is an older, but useful Blog post by Gloria Hansen on coating fabric before printing on it: http://www.gloriahansen.com/weblog/?p=169

I happen to be reading “Double Cross” by Ben Macintyre which is about WWII spies and D-Day, including information about using pigeons. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/01/world-war-ii-carrier-pigeon-surrey_n_2057149.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmaing6%7Cdl12%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D228819

I get a little annoyed about Pinterest because so many “pins” are not identified nor the artist given credit – I just don’t believe in “Anonymous is a Woman”, if you have created something you should have credit whenever it is displayed. Here is a Pinterest page where the writer “pins” art quilts she likes, including some that are in TCQC and even one by me! She has identified many of the images with titles and makers. Nice of her.

Last year on November 6th I took this picture of the piles of clouds over Orange County and some of the snow on the mountains.  And today it was 91F at my house.  You just never know what the weather will do.
