It has begun. :D S.E.X mentioned. :D by
AlenasMom
Today I went and bought some more fabric. Ahh the joys of S.E.X. ;D

poly-cotton blends) These will make up the windmills and the area around
the windmill. I then found a black poly-cotton blend to use for the border
of each...

LN \(remove NOSPAM\)
One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her
thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and
asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?"
The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that

Happy winter dance by
Denise Jameson in Ontario
Hi gang,
I've so much enjoyed reading all the posts about what we love/hate
about quilting. MY biggest love is to start a new project! I find it
very hard to resist doing this and must really hold back as I have
many UFO's already. Lately, however, I have been working on some
large UFO's and...

HS Class by
LN \(remove NOSPAM\)
My dd is choosing classes for HS. She enters 9th grade next year (who knows
how THAT happened. She's only 3!). She asked me to help her look at the
different classes with her. They offer quilting as a class!!!!! She wasn't
interested tho. I guess she feels she can get that at home. But they...

4 needles in an hour.... by
Johanna Gibson
What am I doing wrong? I've broken 4 needles in the last hour.
These were size 80 Schmetz needles too! I'm sewing a polycotton duvet
cover, with polycotton thread, and the project is eating needles like
there is no tomorrow. I've had enough. Even reading contract law is
better than...

Finishing UFO and/or Choosing Project (LONG) by
Pat in Virginia
In my HD thread, someone (She maybe) asked about how my guild's
UFO challenge works. In the Stuck thread, several posters ask
about how to choose a project and move on. I think a description
of the UFO challenge will answer that issue. Here goes.
The Organizers (L&N) set the 'rules' as follows....

Longest Thread so far in 2006 by
~KK in BC~
Ok, so maybe I have too much time on my hands..?
I went looking into the archives and of course totally forgot what I went
looking for in the first place. I then noticed that there are some very
short threads and some that go on to great lengths!
Of all the ones I looked at from Jan 2006 to now,...

It's been a long time by
Kathy Morris
Hello everyone!
Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on RCTQ and it's so nice to see
so many familiar faces. A lot has been going on in my life, but I think
it's finally calmed down enough to begin regularly reading once more. I've
got a lot to catch up on.
I've done a bit of quilting, and...
