Death Impends 7,957 Posted May 14, 2020 Was committed to dropping him until I saw some glum Instagram posts of his late last year. RIP to a good man. I don't really have the interest or motivation to win again but so long as he QOs I think Shurer will be key to making my performance this year respectable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 16, 2020 “Lovely Frank Bielec passed away today from complications following a heart attack,” Trading Spaces' Vern Yip wrote in a tribute on Friday Trading Spaces designer Frank Bielec has died. He was 72. Bielec, who appeared on the beloved home decorating series since it premiered back in 2000, died in a Houston hospital on Friday after suffering a heart attack the previous day, his wife Judy told TMZ. Not often the cross stitch community gets an obit, isn’t that right @Boudicca? Cross stitch and needlepoint people know Bielec more as the designer of the Mosey n Me patterns.

Wisely, it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,437 Posted May 22, 2020 Story of a missed opportunity here. Finally got round to watching the Billy Bragg doc on Rock Island Line from 2017. Hylda Sims, skiffle musician from the 50s, shows up looking old and rough. "I should go put her on my shortlist" I think, looking up her age on Google to find... she died in January!
