I don't want to brag or make anybody jealous or anything, but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school. - Anonymous

My DH and I have found a house that we REALLY like in Arkansas and we could use some prayer in getting it. It is perfect and we haven't even looked inside of it. It is in the country, with land and is close to my son and they really need us close to them so the kids can ride the bus next yr.

This is Boca Jan, now married and going by the name of Sandy in Boca. Hope you are all doing well and had a very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and if you celebrated anything else had a happy happy also. I celebrate getting up every morning without a headache from my car accident 3 years ago. I...

Well, with incessant rain here for weeks it has now culminated in epic proportions of flooding. When you asked about me a week ago when the floods were affecting Rockhampton and places north. I said, no we're fine here, thats hundreds of kilometres away....but now.....the latest flooding yesterday...

Since the topic of HUG quilts is in a couple of threads -- I thought I would let folks know that everyone here is welcome to become a member of the HUG list. To become a member -- just email me with your name and email address. That's all you have to do. Then -- when a HUG quilt (or other HUG...

It's such a tragedy what happened to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, Ariz. Wouldn't a red, white and blue Quilt Hug from this group representing the different states of the USofA be a most perfect gift for Ms. Giffords? We could mark our squares with not only our name/initials but also our...

Thank you Louise. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Hello everyone! I can't even remember when the last time I posted. I have been up to my eyebrows, and sometimes underneath the chaos that has always come with the end of the year and such. Hubby has finished ALL of his college coursework, and the only thing we need to do now is get his final...

Replied off group to Kate. For all.... I will do this, but if there is another volunteer I will gladly step aside. G This is a project that needs to be done quickly. Donna you set up the idea. Red, white and blue 6 or 12 inch finished (sent a half inch larger, please) blocks. Email me for...

I guess I'm getting too many peculiar offers in the spam trash I'm letting through and not suggesting that you get a university degree by mail or send the balance in your savings account to some prince in Ballawongabanga. What I'm wanting you to do in our Happy New Year is DO something you've...

I suppose most of you are far too young to notice that printed matter grows smaller every year and people have started mumbling and whispering. It can't be that our eyesight is getting dim and our hearing finally shows damage from assorted assaults. With that preamble - just let me brag...

Well the police have not caught the guy that hit her. Which makes me think that they just haven't bothered. They have the color, and type of vehicle, having the mirror should give them a limited selection of makes, and she caught enough of a glimpse of the plate to know that it was one of the...

Since I posted asking for help by proofreading my patterns over the next year - I had several takers. A couple of folks also suggested that others may not want to proofread the instructions -- but may actually want to make the blocks! We're doing pieced baskets (advanced beginner skill) with...

She's in ARIZONA!!!!!!! As of last night DD 'landed' in AZ and now is in the Rehab hospital. (about 15 min from us). They started her with a gentle 1.5 HOURS of PT this AM. She is so tickled as the FIRST CA Case Manager (Miz Polly--GATOR food on its way) said Rest Home ONLY...... Then she got a...

I'm leaving shortly to go with my quilting mentor for a new machine for her. I just ran across an ad on craigslist for a quilt shop not too far away that is - unfortunately - going out of business. One of the items they have listed is a 'Smart by Pfaff' sewing machine for $150. Does anyone know...

I am pretty sure it was someone in this group that was using Cat in the Hat/Dr Seuss fabric. Someone asked about the quality, but I missed if there was any reply. So I'm asking, how is the quality of this fabric? Mary O'Neill

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RCTQ_2011_Get_them_Done/ Another year... another list of projects to conquer. Some may be lingering UFO's. Some may be "I've always wanted to make a ...." Doesn't matter. Join the group and let's share accomplishments, encourage when someone is stuck or just...

So, Bert and I ventured into TSWLTH as I had a 40% coupon off one item, and a 10% off the entire bill and Sulky thread was 50% off and greenery was 50-60% off. We had gotten rid of the plants above the entry closet. Climbing on a ladder to water them was no fun anymore, so we're transitioning...

I'm about to start work on a Cathedral Windows quilt, which will have the traditional white background and colored "glass". I will be using my sewing machine for the background blocks, and plan to do the rest by hand stitching. So -- when I add the colored "glass", what color thread shall I use? ...
