If all else fails go to the best right? How do you guys come up with your artist statements? I've had this urge for months now to submit a quilt to Houston's "I Love Mama" competition for next year. I'm half way through making the top (I had it designed about 6 months ago) and have hit a...

This link just came up on the Quilt Art list: http://www.playdamage.org/market-o-matic/ For those of us who have struggled and struggled to write an artist's statement that wasn't complete cr*p, this is a godsend (tongue FIRMLY in cheek). But you know, the Artist's Statement it came up with was...

Having no luck finding any kind of Arts & Crafts color palette for use with EQ6, I assembled/built my own. Searching the web for a palette was difficult enough - the only decent one I found (If anyone knows of others, please drop me a line & let me know) was the Sherwin-Williams Roycroft Arts &...

New arts and crafts directory under construction and scheduled to be online in the next month or so. For artists and craftsmen and women living and working in the US who want to submit their URL and be listed in the directory when it comes online, the site to go to...

Ok, I know just about enough to get myself into trouble. Here's the situation. A friend asked me if I knew someone who could draw a logo for her golf league to have stitched on their shirts. I said no, until I saw what she wants. She just wants to have the words "Brown Deer Golf" with the O's...

..... may I wish one and all rest and happiness at this time -and all they hope for in 2007 -including 3 hours extra in a day at least once a week so that we can ALL get some sewing done! Annie, England

My brother-in-law has announced his intentions of divorcing my sis, because he caught her cheating on him with a married man. I had to find out from my brother, who found out from my parents, who were told by a formal letter from my brother-in-law. It's a bit of a shock. Since then, there have been...

And now......... the rest of the story. All the facts have now been exchanged privately and all parties concerned can now see that the recent hug that has been under discussion was handled by everyone with integrity and all the best of intentions. Happy day! WHAT a discussion that was, eh? ...

More than self-indulgence this time: together with photos of the smaller version of this quilt, the pattern for Beyond Beginners is up on my blog http://wordinpatchwork.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/beyond-beginners-free-quilt-pattern/ Apparently, the facebook group for RCTQ is either a. not...

Sorry to be so late getting this posted.... the gorgeous Oriental fabric I chose had other plans than mine. I thought it could stand on it's own, but it demanded something special! That took extra time- quite a bit of extra time! It has a pretty Oriental-ish looking pieced and appliqued...

Here you go, all ready for you, Sharon and Lizzy, especially. I don't know if I've seen this pattern somewhere else or not, so if it's someone else's idea, I apologize. I just needed to figure out what to do with all these extra geese flying around my sewing room, and this is what I came up...

I will be in Toledo friday morning so will be able to make the Novi show. Hope to be able to find some of you at lunch around noon, or have you changed the meet location? See you there! Denny -- http://community.webshots.com/user/kiteflyer54

I just asked my sons for a gift that would not cost them money only time. I asked that they prepare a web site for me so I can show you my quilt pictures. Establishing a web site is something I have been going to do for years. They want to see some samples of other quilter sites. Does anyone...

The program director from my guild called yesterday and asked me to do a trunk show at the October meeting! This is due to the fact that I won "best in show" at the may quilt show. Now I have to round up some quilts, including ones that I have already given away, so I have a good representation...

Hi, everyone. As you may have read, I just got back from Florida and the first thing I did even before unpacking was to turn on the PC so I could see what was going on with the group. Need-less-to-say, I had about 1500 messages to get through. Now, here's the dilemma. There are several...

I want to make a quilt for a little guy who I consider a solider of valor. His Mother just came back from 4 months in Iraq and now both his parents are going to Korea for year and will he will be with his Granparents. After that, a three will be headed to Japan, and at least they will be...

I just joined this group and haven't posted but been reading. Right now I need prayer that we find a home of our own in the next couple of days. We are liveing with my mother and things have grown so bad here that if we don't get out soon, I am afraid someone will end up dead or in the hospital. ...
