CHARITY QUILT 4 SGK CANCER FOUNDATION

Our quilting group on Ebay (QCG) - Quilters Corner Group will be hosting a Charity quilt auction in October for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month...get your mammograms, ladies! Gents, remind the women in your life to get a mammogram.

Several members of our group are making 9 1/2" quilt blocks and sending them to one of our group leaders who is coordinating this group effort. She will sew them into our Charity Breast Cancer quilt and list it for auction in October. I'll post more info about it later.

Time to get my blocks made, so this morning I pulled out some pink fabrics from my stash and started playing. mmmmh?? W.I.P. ...work in progress.

I'll post pictures of the finished blocks ...hopefully later today.

I WAS HACKED ON EBAY!

When was the last time you changed your passwords on all your accounts??

STOP what you are doing or planning on doing and go change your passwords on your email accounts, bank accounts and if you have an Ebay account & Paypal account....and any others where you haven't changed them the last six month.

Between last night checking in on Ebay at around 11pm and my first log in today at 8am, (less than 10 hrs.) I had been HACKED big time! I could not get into My Ebay account using my standard password. I had to call them and they gave me a new temporary password. (I have to admit that it had been a long time since I changed my password and it did have letters & numbers in it and was 8 digits long.)

When I logged into Ebay using the temporary password, there were 177 messages and 233 BIG PRICE TICKET ITEMS & listings that were not mine and over $300 worth of fees. The Ebay person on the phone was very helpful and actually listened to me, and agreed that I had been hacked by a 3rd party. She was able to remove the listings that were not mine, cancel the messages, and remove the fees. She even called me back in 30 minutes to confirm that the items had been removed.

There's no way to find out how this person got my password, as I am very careful about fraudulent emails, internet sites, etc., have good spyware & virus ware and my computer is scanned every 24 hrs.

Since the hackers are out there and let me assure you, they are.....then the only thing we can do is consistently change our passwords every month and stay away from unknown sites, especially "freebies", videos and music downloads!

So......as Nike's commercials used to say........."JUST DO IT". I hope by posting this message today, that it will save at least one person the headache of being hacked! It's just not fun! I'm thankful that no personal information was obtained or hacked.

PLAY WITH THE BUTTERFLIES!

Today's creation is another patchwork totebag from Moda's "Butterfly Fling" charm packs. The fabrics for this one are just yummy and made me feel Happy & Smiling the whole time I was making it.

It is for sale on auction in Ebay. Just click on the link below.

Go take a look at this cute Kitty Cats Quilt Kit I have for sale in my Ebay store. I call it "Flower Cats" as all the fabrics are floral. Each cat is a different pose and expression.
