I have a very strange request from my sister and need some help. When her granddaughter was visiting here, I had sketched 3 hummingbirds. I painted one, she painted one (hers looks like a fuzzy purple duck) =) and there is one who is still just a sketch. The canvas 'as is' is a special...

Alrighty then... It has been a day. My prepaid credit card for online shopping is broken. The company assures me that they are "expiditing" my account to fix the problem. Which after some 3 days of complaints by me, they figured out is a bit more widespread than just little old moi. I...

did that scoundrel Cheeto ever show up? hope he is safe somewhere. taria

Howdy! One month 'til Christmas: I'm enjoying it! Took myself to the quilt shop yesterday in honor of small/local business shopping day: YUM! Ragmop/Sandy

Hello All, I'm new here, I am new to quilting. I have been dabbling in this hobby for 3 years. I still feel like a BEGINNER though. I have just finished my 2nd hand appliqued quilt top. Now, I'm on a mission to learn how to hand quilt it. I was just wondering how to view photos posted. I clicked...

At last I managed to install the camera docking station including software and update for it to my computer and have been able to move the pics from the camera to my files and from there to Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/wouldsewif/sew-myself/ There you can see a Hug-Pillow I assembled for a...

Yes, I got my very first squishie. And from our very own Polly. She emailed the other day and said that after she'd "stolen" my idea for red ultra-suede berries, she had some and wondered if I'd like a hunk or two. Well, it showed up Monday and besides red there was a piece of blue, white,...

I hope everyone is OK - maybe they are doing quilting - I hope so. A question, where can I send some money to for the "Sandy" people? I would like to help in some small way. Regards, -- Di Maloney Vic. Australia

G'day folks, Haven't posted any for the last few months, however I do pop in here to read every now and then, Haven't finished any quilt projects since the Crystal Dena Craine quilt mid-year. I have a project half pieced on the design wall -a different take on drunkard's path using graduated...

My faithful washer's tub is losing its enameling beyond the ability to be touched up. My beloved work-horse dryer is making noises like the Russian army descending on the house with full artillery. I fear neither is long for this world, and to be fair, both are 19. Can someone recommend a...

Well, for those who remember the saga of Cheeto, I want to ask for prayers because he got out the electronic dog door and has been gone for five days now :-(. He and Raechel (the SMDGD) have been connected at the hip since we gave him to her three years ago this Christmas. Needless to say, she...

Hope everyone is braced for the storm making the news. Take care, all. To our "Sandy"s here on the group, we know you aren't nearly as destructive as this storm appears, unless it is attacking your fabric stash ;) Ginger in CA

I was notified by Charter (my ISP) that they will be dropping usenet groups on Dec. 10. I feel fortunate to have had it as long as I have. I looked back through past posts to this group to find an alternative. I am now accessing this group via aioe. Julia in MN -- ----------- This message has...

I need to put some pizzazz on a finished art type wallhanging and Polly inspired me to use a 3D grapevine with leaves around the edges. (She has nooooo idea she did it- yet! g) I need about 10 ft. of vine and am stumped. The vine needs to be the size of a pencil or less, so making a fabric...

http://rctq-quilters.tripod.com/index.htm Wow, was it a long time ago when I made this website. It used to be at Geocities -- without ads, of course! Geocities has been gone for a few years now. I can't believe that I actually updated this Tripod site in May 2011. In August 2011 I moved...

Has anyone heard of an organization collecting quilts for the East Coast? If anyone hears of a reliable collection and distribution group please post the information. I have quilts ready to send but want to make sure they get to people who need the encouragement.

Niece has asked me to make a t-shirt quilt. I've seen the methods and seen some quite stunning ones at quilt shows. Maybe I could talk me into it but am having a problem already with the time involved and the results. What is the life-expectancy of such a quilt? Do they make it through use and...
