So as I posted a couple days ago about sneezing Minkee fluff, you may have gathered I've started my next project, a VERY simple blankee made of Minkee. It's basically 7x9 array of squares of Minkee, which will be one side of a blanket for my upcoming Neicphew (that is, neice or nephew, we won't...

I want to thank all of you for sharing your lives and your quilting stories. I don't post often but I do read several times most days. Sometimes I think the RCTQ community is what keeps me in touch with the world. (along with DH reading the news to me over morning coffee :) ). I would really like...

Tutu: I have a question for you. Could you please email me? Thanks, Eileen

Join the happy dance! It might be a "cheater" panel, but it still took days to finish my latest project....what fun! Trapunto, stippling, and McTavishing: it's a great way to practice machine quilting, plus I think it's splendiferous . I'm hoping my daughter-in-law agrees. Because of the trapunto...

Thank you all for the employment prayers back in Dec (just before G'pa in hospital). I didn't hear anything from them BUT.... Earlier this week DH forwarded me a message from one of his colleagues. She was agreeing to her daughter's request to be homeschooled for the rest of the school year and...

I received a package from my Mom and she had included 8 packets of Hancock's Monthly Block Party from Quilter's Sampler Club that had been given to her. She is not a quilter, so I got a great gift and surprise in the mail! Now, I would like to make this one of my PIGS, but don't think I have all...

Hello, Can someone explain what a squishie is? Is it something I can join too? Hans

Just wanted to brag a bit too :-) Yesterday arrived a wonderful yellow squishie ( already thanked privately ) and I was totally confused because there were German stamps on the envelope and the sender was 'RCTQ'. Yes I know there are other Germans here too, but for the first moments I was confused....

Thank you, thank you! My first ever from this group! It's from my Swap Buddy. And there was a cute card with a wiggly worm. I've cut it up already. Some 10½" strips will go into a Chinese Coin Calendar Quilt that I am making through another group I belong to. Hopefully I'll be sewing more of...

Hi, I have a very standard Brother sewing machine. I have lost the little plastic plate that fits over the feed teeth so that you can do squiggly quilting and sewing rather than straight lines. What is the proper name for this thingy so that I can do a search on the net and see if I can come...

Just a short note to say a BIG Thank You to the thoughtful folks who recently sent me Birthday Squishes -- you know who you are :-). They are truly appreciated and I am looking forward to using them in a project soon :-)! CiaoMeow ^;;^

I tossed my IE and downloaded Mozilla-Foxfire and am very pleased with the results. Thanks for the info. -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ " / \ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/snigdibbly.

It was a busy afternoon, one way and another... We trotted off down to Canterbury and I spent a while (and some money!) in the sewing machine and quilting shop... Bought 2m of a nice dense black with a charcoal print of stars and moons - just the ting to finish off a quilt I have the top almost...

Not long ago I bought several seam rippers. One for next to the sewing machine, one in my notions bag that goes to classes with me and one in my appliqué kit. It was so nice having several and not having to hunt for them. Can I find a single one? I swear I was just sitting by the sewing machine...

As a quilter, if you could live anywhere in the US, where would you choose? I'm a public school teacher only about 7 years from retirement. When I grow up or retire, or whichever comes first, I think I might like to teach sewing and quilting. A strange opportunity has presented itself. I know I...

can anyone help me with a site that offers free instructions on how to make a curved border for a quilt? Thanks. Sharon in Montreal

Does your guild newsletter have advertising? Do you accept ads from non-members? Do you accept ads that are not quilt-related? What are your advertising rates? How many copies of your newsletter do you print? Is the newsletter available to non-members? Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned...

There's been a lot of discussion about fabric/quilted postcards. Is there enough interest for a centralized swap? Leslie (postcard maniac) & The Furbabies in MO.

OK, I have finally set up some images to share. Try this and see if it works. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lpskeen/my_photos -- L. P. Skeen, Summerfield NC Organized people are just too dang lazy to look for things. ;)
