Hi,. My name is Michele I am new to the group but have been sewing on and off for about 30 years and need a lot of help. After losing my house, sewing room and all of my fabric stash to an F4 tornado in July we have recently moved into our newly built home. Now I am trying to reconstruct my sewing...

Your box of fabric has arrived! My friend Keith brought it over, and we had a good time looking at it all. I think it is decorator fabric, because there is a "shiny" side to it, and it is heavier than quilting cotton. I think the first project from it will be some cushion covers! Thank you very...

I just started a new quilting class and I'll be tackling a king size log cabin quilt. I'd appreciate any instore coupons anyone is willing to share. Thanks! Debi Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

I think you all will appreciate this one. I was repacking a quilt kit, after washing all the pieces, and trying to match up the yardages on the pattern with my pile of fabrics from multiple sources. Ahh, I thought to myself, I need a yardage marked ruler on my fabric cabinet, you know 1/3, 5/8,...

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

I was trying to figure out which I enjoy more....adding random fabrics to my stash, or buying fabric for a certain project...I was stumped, and wondered what other quilters thought on the subject, so my question to you is; Which do you enjoy more, adding to your stash, or buying fabric for...

I want to make an Amish Center Diamond wall hanging & hand quilt it.....but need some advice. What batting should I use so it won't beard? Cotton or polyester? What brand? I want to quilt it with black thread, like the Amish women used to do. Should the thread be 100% cotton or a poly ? What...

It has been a long time since I've poked my head into rctq -- what, 12 months? 18 months? Maybe longer? I apologize for disappearing for awhile, but the truth is it was just too hard for me to log on after MeSue passed on. She just left too big a hole in my heart. But it's great to see that a...

College DD IM'd me last night with "could you do me a Huge favor?" Uh oh. But it turned out to be ok....she had volunteered to bring Triple Chocolate Mess to a party tonight and had forgotten about it. Of course she was too busy to go grocery shopping, didn't have a crock pot, yadda...

Thought it might be fun to issue a challenge... We did something similar in my MN guild. You sign up and agree to finish (finish means done --quilted, binding and label) a specific quilt or two (or 3 or four)!! by the end of 2005. I'd be happy to keep the list. Individuals can enter as often...

When I returned from the Dr. this afternoon I found something amazing waiting for me in the living room. A box addressed to me from someone that I didn't think I knew. As my wife, Queen of Squishies, waited expectantly I opened it to find the most grand hug that I could imagine. I was awe...

Had a little S.E.X. this morning...picked up a couple remnants and backing for my mystery quilt at Joann's and flannel for a baby quilt at Wal-Mart. After I got home, I put the flannel in the washer and sewed on the last border on a donation quilt. This afternoon I pin basted 2 baby quilts...

As I mentioned, I received a "Domestic" treadle machine. DH cleaned and oiled it and it purrs but I couldn't get it to stitch since I can't get the threading right (no manual). However, thanks to www.treadleon.net, I was able to get additional oiling and care info as well as a phone number...
