what is quilt piping and where is a good website to read about it?

Piping can be made by covering cord with strips of bias cut fabric. The cord comes in a range of thicknesses and is readily available from fabric and upholstery stores. You can often get piping premade with different fabric patterns and colors. It is sewn in along the edge of the bed, quilt, or cushion. Search on Fabric Piping and you can find some examples online.

Do you ever have a birthday party for Jesus?

Our family pastor has a birthday party for Jesus on the night of Christmas. Ice cream, cake, party hats, paper. Sing happy birthday, and her youngest son (who is big enough to fly without spitting) blows out the candles. Recalls children the reason for the season. Always wanted to do that at home, never did enough. And you?

We do not have a party, but every year I can remember my family always made a cake together and decorated it with the words "Happy Birthday Jesus." A birthday party all sounds like an awesome way to make the birthday of Jesus the center of Christmas. Maybe I'll try this year. My kids would love it. Thanks for the idea!

Barney – Barney’s Beach Party [VHS] $11.36 Thoughts of His Purpleness parading around in a Speedo shouldn’t deter you from picking up Barney’s Beach Party. Despite the dorky dance numbers and stiff dialogue (would it be Barney without them?), the made-for-video show ends up among the sugarcoated series’ most palatable. It could be just the scenery, but the star seems more freewheeling in the fun-in-the-sun setting. He shows off a silly hat…
