Well here's the story! As a nubee my dear wife started this quilt for a magazine and it turned out to be a king size quilt, she then got a Handi Quilter with the extensions to handle a king size quilt. She finished the top and I was impressed at the detail it looked excellent. I made her a 11...

Nothing, nada...can you believe it? I've had no energy to really do much, and don't see much happening until sometime mid to late April, unless it's hand work. I've been making jewelry, though...but i guess that doesn't count, since very little of it was for me. You can take a look anyway. ...

Sometimes I wonder why I get in over my head. I knew I didn't want to do anything large this time around, but small isn't necessarily easier. When a project makes me wonder how long my eyes will last, squinting, blinking, tearing, then I think about stopping. But Popser wanted this one,...

I, too, am cleaning out some of my stash. I'm willing to send it to the first one who emails me and wants it. I have mostly lights/neutrals in beiges, tan, taupes, little plaids, etc. This would fill a boot box I think. I'd be glad to receive the postage if you are so inclined, if not....please...

Tell me if this is the beginning of osteoarthritis: thumbs on both sides seem to dislocate if I try to stretch them beyond a certain point. Worse at night, a bit better after a hot bath. Or is it something else? I need to know what to look up on web MD, before struggling with the doctor in...

I have cut out a lovely butterfly that I want to put onto a finished block for interest. How do I get fusible sticky wonder under-type stuff onto the back of this little butterfly? Should I also use stabilizer on the back of the block and then stitch the butterfly down? I think that I heard...

I am trying to make each of my 7 grandchildren pillows for Easter. My thought is to put his/her photo in the center of a log cabin motif. I have the digital photos, but have been thinking it would look really great if I could edit the photos to the sepia tones. I thought sure I had seen...

Howdy! Grabbing the Greens Quilt (from those smarty-pants at RCTQ who knew I was Irish before I did! g), wishing you all a Happy Holiday (those who celebrate St.Pat's Day). ;-D Got my green shirt on, ready to finish my latest contribution to someone else's quilt collection (she paid me so it's...

I was exploring the Fabshop Hop site a few weeks back and discovered that I was a winner of a gift certificate at the www.cozyquilt.com site. I emailed them to find out the process to get my GC. I received a very nice reply from Daniela who said that their online shopping was not yet up...

Hi Everyone At long last I can tell you that my web page is happening! My nephew sent me a link tonight and it's looking rather fine. But it's not quite ready for everyone to see. He's been working on it during his Spring Break. What I'd like if anyone from RCTQ has a web page, to send me...

I can't wait to get the new directory as the month might be half over so I am going to come right out and ask..... if you are a March born RCTQ quilter please come forward :-) hmmmmm ! Eskimo Hugs, Kathy (in Alaska)

Does anyone keep record of the quilts they make? If so, have you ever done a scrapbook of the quilts you've made? My mom has talked about doing a quilting scrapbook, and I was wondering if anyone's ever done one. Granted, Mom's quilts are usually for special people and not for quilt shows or...

Please join me in my stippling happy dance... Finally I understood the principle of machine-quilting :-) With my new SM and the help of 'Machine Quilting made easy' by Maurine Noble I tried it... and it worked. Well, the smooth curves of my stippling are often sharp edges and every now and then...

Sounds like he is on the road to recovery. A slow one, but on the road anyway. Thanks for the update. Cindy from MO "nadine hinkle" wrote in message ...

I've had a panel hanging around my stash for a couple of years now and have *finally* managed to put it together into a top! Yay! It's really a cute panel, put out in a line called Once Upon a Time. It's all fairy tale stuff, with alligators as the characters. I even have a coordinating purple...

Wow. There were some wonderful quilts. There seemed to be a trend this year to use batiks, hand dyed, and Bright LOUD prints. There were some that hurt my eyes looking at them. There seemed to be less "traditional" types than last year. I took some pictures and when I get them developed and my...

Most of you know that I am being 'Babysat by SIL'...well someone has to peel those taters and keep the laundry going ; ) Today we got out my authentic 30's fabric that I had been gifted with--BEFORE breakfast. Thought we would just lie it on the bed and come back after we ate. WRONG : ) An hour,...

Mat wants to know if there are any quilt shops on Washington Blvd in LA or nearby. He is going shopping on Sunday the 21st, for pressies before he comes home for a few days to sort out his US work visa. Does anyone have any information? Please post to the group or email me at jgibson at tesco...

Wow! Lovely! Thanks for sharing. Mary in S.A.
