I've been squished as well! What a beautiful card. And a dark blue fabric that is a standard favorite of mine. I've used it in several of my quilts so no doubt will put it to good use. Thanks so much, whoever you are! hmm... -- ~kitty in phx~

Yep, yep, I was hoping it would happen someday. And it did! My first squishie arrived in the mail today. Being a squishie virgin, I didn't know what it was at first. Then I sort of squeezed it and well,,, 'squished' it and then I knew! I tore open the envelope and there it was. A pretty blue, sort...

I think I just sent to here by mistake. I am confused.My little cat Cider has just been killed outside.Just 11 months old. I lost Jasper at the same age in a similar way last July.The 2 previous were old boys. We live in a very rural place too! Cant believe it! -- Estelle...

I was anonymously squishied today, so wanted to unanimously thank the anonymous squisher! Thanks! Trixie

There are approximately 270 days until Christmas, but only 2 days until the 2006-2007 RCTQ BOM begins. Are you ready? Dannielle

IMS: I don't have LQS info. A friend enjoyed a tour of the Battlefield and told me it is especially worthwhile to rent or buy (??) the tour audio tape for the car. HTH. Have a great trip! PAT IMS wrote: Road trip! DH and I are actually going away for the weekend, something we very rarely do...

Flipping channels tonight I ran across one of those home shopping networks promoting three different models (good, better, best) of the EuroPro SM. One was electronic/computerized with a zillion bells and whistles; one was mechanical with 48 stitches, and the other was mechanical with...

While at the new LQS today (Miss Fussy Rose wanted to go), I was chatting with one of the owners, and the idea of a kids' trunk show came up - a display of quilts made by kids. That led to talking about a class for kids, and I said I could teach that. I then said I'd like to teach a class on...

Does anyone have a use for these? Or should I just toss them? Some are fusible, others are stitch-in, all are too small for any garment usage, i.e., collars, cuffs, plackets, etc. Thanks, -- TerriLee in WA (state)

OK, I made a cake yesterday and I have to share the recipe. I am so glad it only made a small cake cause I ate it ALL. And I don't like apples that much. Caramel Apple Dessert Squares Sliced apples bake into the top of this rich, tempting cake. It's easy and fun because the caramel sauce forms...

I'm trying to organize myself so I spend less time hunting for something and less money buying things I already have. OK, so that last part isn't really much of a problem yet, but as my stash increases it will become a lot more difficult to remember what I have and how much of it. I designed a...

Has anyone had issues with Joann.com this month? They had some sort of problem with their shipping, and now I think my pitiful little shipment of eight spools of thread is lost forever. I ordered them on the 11th, and now the tracking system is down. They had sent me a code to get $15 off my next...

Someplace, I've seen an embroidery pattern (on a CD?) for labels. I don't think I own it, but let me check, and I'll get back to you. TerriLee in WA (state) "Jan" wrote in message ... Anyone have...

Ok as Im reading the groups messages, I keep running across this. Ive searched around and find no explaination. Please! what am I missing....

I have chosen a Dresden Plate pattern for a quilt for me and hubby (I always give them away). Is there any speed cutting or piecing I should know about or is this a one piece at a time? Boca Jan

Does anyone know where I could find an easy candy cane pattern? TIA Sherry Starr

since rctq has a logo of the TAWT on a puter screen already, how about..... folks who'd like a mascot could add who/what they like typing at the puter there. you'd still be found among the throngs at quilt shows etc. that way no one is offended, no one need worry about one mascot not working in...

I knew I'd seen it somewhere. Follow this link, and about 2/3 of the way down the page is some software for creating various quilt labels & matching gift cards. http://jhittlesewing.funoverload.com/sewing/specials/new_items_3x.html NAYY, but I've always been happy doing business with J...

This is the guy that came on looking for Bird Nest fabric for his wife. But he wouldn't let her use his computer. I emailed him personally this message. You insulted a lot of women about not letting your wife touch your computer. You should teach her how to search on the net. There are many,...
