Active bloggers at some point must concern themselves with secure surfing. Once the ‘what came with my computer’ McAfee subscription ran out, I began using free PC security software. But, is it enough? 

I searched the Web, naturally, for answers. Of the commercial variety, PC Magazine gave top honors to Norton Internet Security. A recent review from Consumer Reports, as reported by CIO online, looked at both commercial and free software. They awarded their Best Buy logo to FREE offerings -  Avira’s AntiVir, Windows Defender, and  Spamfighter. According to Gregg Keizer who penned the article at CIO, Consumer Reports said these three used together offer the best combination of performance and price.

Jacqui from Block Party! blog made another fun funky block for Ashley, continuing the Drunk Love theme. I enjoy seeing how others use fabrics that I have in my stash. Should I be embarrassed that I have almost all of these?  

I’d be interested to know how these 12 women formed this group. If you are part of a virtual quilting group similar to this, please email me at quilting@craftgossip.com and tell me about it.
