Hi, all, I can remember back in the '70's when I was still single and thinking that the right guy would never come along, and having only so-so co-workers, and just having a lot of time to myself, and being very lonely and bored. I so wish I knew about quilting then!!! I even had two apartments...

I instructions on how to heat set my labels to make the ink permanent (makers say to do so, but don't give instructions). Here's the story: DH was heading out to get a surprise for DS for his progress in potty training. While he was out I asked if he try to find me a yellow pigma marker for...

Hullo Sarah I was there a couple of years ago. I liked it very much. It is not as frenetic as Malvern, and is not so tightly packed with people. The eating place is also easier, and you should be all right with a child. The eating place, when I was there, was between the parts of the hall set...

If anyone needs them, I have many jeans pockets that I would be happy to trade for some scraps or uglies for my animal quilts. Please email me if your interested.

Hi, Mostly I've lurked, but after reading the posts today, I have to say this. I've ALWAYS enjoyed reading Kate's posts. She is such an interesting and creative person, and shouldn't we be celebrating that? Don't we all want to get together with people who are creative and interesting, or do you...

Hi Lynne. Saw you were back so I am writing to tell you a big THANK YOU for the blackout fabric. It was here waiting for me when I got home from Thunder Bay. It is perfect and just what I was looking for. hugs, Susanne

Finally it is over. What a lot of work. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be or how many hours it was going to take. We had some really magnificent quilts hanging. We had a judge who didn't judge quilts. But she really tried. At least she was willing to take pointers. And she was a...

I found this website where a number of quilters have posted pics of their quilts. They're all lovely, but there a couple that absolutely blew me away. Here is the URL if you want to look at something special. The quilt blocks are simple and traditional but her use of color is amazing and...

Situations such as Donna and Julia have both reported have been mentioned here in RCTQ before. These are frustrating and somewhat insulting occurrences that are way too common, IMO.

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77. Please be careful!" "Hell," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's...

Hello Everyone, I guess, I'm the homeless dog and cat quilt maker. I have given nearly 300 "snuggle" quilts to our local Humane Society this year and hope to continue to provide these blankets to them and other rescues for the animals to enjoy. I guess this is also a recycling project. I use...

This year I entered 3 quilts and got 3 ribbons. The blue quilt got a 1st place, the red one got a 3rd place. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/keskelund/lst?.dir=/2003+quilts&.view=t The pink one won a 2nd place. It will be my almost 4 year old niece's Christmas present. I have a dolly bed for...

I need some help. I just made a scrappy star, it's supposed to measure 12.5" unfinished. I'm using a scant quarter inch, I'm rotary cutting the right size, I'm measuring and remeasuring everything, but when the block is done - it's not 12.5". It's about 1/8 of an inch off. The center is a 4...
