Boo, hoo!! This is one of those things I've decided to drop since my income is dropping and I still have medical bills to pay from January. Had to make some hard decisions. As of tomorrow I will be RETIRED!! (No this is not an April Fool's joke.) Maybe next year -- as I see how the budget...

a friend sent the following apps for the red and quilt show in NYC http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/american-folk-art-museum-presents/id427267140?mt=\8 She warned it took a long time to load but was worth it. She didn't say if there was a charge. I do not have any equipment to load apps. Is there a...

I have been blessed with a HUG. It arrived at a time when it was so dearly needed and I am forever blessed. I am grateful to all who contributed and all who could contribute in Spirit only. It has been baptized with many tears already. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Here's a link to my facebook page...

I had to start from scratch with my email, so I'm testing to see if everything's working the way I want it to! -- Louise in Iowa http://community.webshots.com/user/LouiseinIowa nieland1390@mchsidotcom

Let me set the stage- it's thundering and lightening... almost nonstop. Hoover and Simon don't much care for all this but Dottie goes berserk in absolute terror. The ONLY place she feels safe is on mommy. Not close by but *ON* mommy. She's shivering and shaking and panting non-stop. ...

Oh ... I have paid for and reserved a week at a quilt retreat on the Oregon coastline the last week of April/first days of May with a dear friend who moved to Oregon a year ago. She called today. She is having terrifying health problems and probably can't make it to the retreat. The fee is...

Howdy! Happy NQD, whatever your national flavor! Where to start? So much fabric, so many quilts, a day to enjoy & create! Cheers! Ragmop/Sandy

Hi Ginger, I finished my block for the right foot saved quilt and will send it out as soon as I know: - does one sign the block? - may one send a comment to the person who assembles the quilt? Thanks for answering my novice questions. ;-)

If you haven't watched this video, do so ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbTHlGGKMPM I know most of us have awesome skills and like to show off our enormous quilt making guns. But we also need fast and easy quilts. Okay, I need fast and easy quilts. This technique is so simple. I have no idea...

For no reason I know of, Luana Rubin has me on her email list. For sure, most of my quilts to donate are made with donated fabric and I'm not a very good customer. Anyhow, her newsletter this week is quite something. There's an Air Force commander who will arrange shipment of quilts for the...

Back in the 50's and 60's, there are those of you who were cautioned about a PDA. (gasp) Public Display of Affection. We don't even want to know what's done in public these days... but for the 1st time that I remember here at rctq, there's a hug afoot (sorry, just could not help myself)...

Thanks for the info. Taria in Victorville, CA sent me information for a long arm quilter in Big Bear, where I have a cabin. I just arrived at my cabin today....two feet of fresh snow in the last day and half! I met with the quilter and left her with two lap size quilts. I'm getting lazy in my old...

The last four photos in my webshots account show the quilt I recently finished. It was made from Block of the Month blocks and was a great place to practice some FM quilting. I really enjoy doing that now! I notice some improvement each time I do it. No wonder the experts say "practice,...

I was looking at Dennys link to the blind quilter and found this - Ricky Tims showing how to make one seam flying geese http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Mu0C_QL8Y&feature=related Dee in Oz

The following is from a resident of Japan, who is well known to people that have attended the American Embroidery Conference over the years. This is a part of her letter describing the need over there. It seems that donations will reach the critical areas best by following her...

Looking for quilt shops in Vegas, saw a website for a company that does shop hops on demand...4 Vegas quilt shops plus lunch. Price seems a bit high to me: $80! Has anyone done this? Is it worth it, or can I walk/bus to quilt shops from the strip? I'm not totally sure I want to desert my husband...
