Hi Joyce,
I would absolutely love to join this discussion!!
I don't have much to offer in the way of tips and such because I'm just learning, but I'd love to listen and gain new information.
I've not yet done a discussion, so could you please tell me how that works? I also don't have a sowing machine of my own yet, would that be required? I'd really be interested in joining the sowing discussion too, if I had one here to use. Guess I'll have to wait on that one though. :)
FYI: quilting101.com is also a great site to find helpful information and resources.
Blessings,
Nicole

> Dear Joyce Kane,
> On behalf of Vanda and all of those who suffer from Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake
> Disorder (N24HSWD or Non-24) we thank you for participating in our sleep
> survey. Because of your participation we have so far donated more than
> $23,000 to various national and local organizations that support individuals
> with blindness. We wish to especially thank those individuals who have
> expressed interest in our ongoing clinical study.
> The deadline to enroll patients is approaching and we are writing to you
> now because we want your help to spread the word about this very important
> research among your friends and colleagues who may be interested. Our
> research is taking place at 25 locations in the US, and in France and Germany.
> However, without enough participants, it will be challenging to develop a
> treatment for Non-24.
> If you know of anyone who may be interested in our research, please refer
> them to 1-888-389-7033. As a reminder, we have set up a registry and a
> survey that are available by phone and on the web. Below is the announcement of
> our study with phone, email and web contact information and eligibility
> criteria.
> Your efforts are sincerely appreciated. Thank you for your ongoing
> support.
> Sincerely,
> The Vanda Outreach Team
> P.S. A screen-reader friendly website (_www.24sleepwake.com_
> (http://www.24sleepwake.com/) ) dedicated to Non-24 is now available. This site contains
> News and Information, FAQs, and a forum to share your experience with
> Non-24.
>
> Announcement:
> Do you ever feel like your sleep patterns are different than the rest of
> the world? Do you sometimes feel the unwanted urge or need to fall asleep
> during the day time when you need to be awake? Do you also find that you
> feel just too wide awake to fall or stay asleep during the night time? If
> you are blind, this could be due to a real sleep problem related to the lack
> of light needed to keep your body's internal clock in sync with the day and
> night cycle. If you or someone you know might be affected, please call
> 1-888-389-7033 or email _info at non24registry.com_
> (mailto:info at non24registry.com) to learn about an ongoing clinical research study that is evaluating a
> new investigational treatment for this type of sleep problem. When calling
> or online at _www.non24registry.com_ (http://www.non24registry.com/) , you
> can also complete a short sleep survey. For each completed survey, $25
> will be donated to an organization that supports individuals with blindness.
> You may be eligible to participate in the clinical trial if you are between
> 18 and 75 years of age and are totally blind. Volunteers will be
> compensated for their participation in the clinical study and will receive study
> related medication, medical evaluations, and transportation at no cost.

>>> Have any of you heard of Crazy Quilt? I had done some poking around
>>> several years back on this and fooled with some blocks. I don't know a
>>> lot
>>> about it and would like to learn more. So how about having a discussion
>>> in
>>> October? Those of you who know anything about it can come and share.
>>> Those
>>> who don't know, but willing to do some research on surfing the net and
>>> finding what you can about it can come and share that.
>>>
>>> I found a wonderful website that has descriptions of how to do different
>>> embroidery stitches that people use on the crazy quilts.

>>> Let's plan a Monday Night Discussion in October and maybe we can do a
>>> quilting class or have a quilting chat after the first of the year.
>>>
>>> Let me know your thoughts on this. Quilting does not need to be done
>>> just
>>> by machine many folks hand sew their pieces together.
>>>
>>> Just a note: Crazy Quilts are made by sewing pieces of fabric to a
>>> foundation piece. It can be done by squares or sewing it to one large
>>> foundation
>>> piece. You can use an array of different fabrics and you can create
>>> patterns and designs or justrandomly sew the pieces on. Then you adorn
>>> it by
>>> embellishing it with embroidery, buttons, bows, lace as much or as
>>> little as
>>> you want.
