Sunny[_2_]
http://www.flickr.com/photos/onetexsun/?saved=1 Yay! Done in time for the first Sunday of Lent. Two months of work came together finally last night with the last bit of hand stitching (the hanging sleeve). I'm so glad to be finished. Next week, I'm going to clean my floors, dust and maybe even...

Shortage solution update by
Steven Cook
So, into the store Bert and I walked and the one lady from the other night
greeted me very warmly, as did the two other workers, and the second lady
from the other night was busy. But, the first lady remembered that I had
been in buying reds for "the neatest project" and came right over to...

Hug List, Directory and Facebook by
Polly Esther[_5_]
There's a difference. Maybe it's progress, maybe not. But here's the
deal - being in the directory does not put you on the Hug List. Being on
the Hug List does not require that you be in the directory.
If you would like to participate in the directory and exchange happy
little gifts and...

Shorted cut length by
Steven Cook
So, last night when I took my young friend back home, I stopped at the
fabric store to get six reds for a red sticks quilt. Tonight I washed it
and ironed it. That is when I found that the one lady cut my yard cuts 3
inches short. The other lady cut 36 inches. Three okay, three not okay.

no quilting and here's why......... by
off kilter [email protected]
Thought I'd post an update since I know this group is full of prayer
warriors and supportive people.
On 2/8, a child on the bus called my DS gay, then tripped him right as
he was at the top of the stairs to get off the bus. DS was able to
catch himself, but his glasses got a little bent....fixed...

Polly asked by
Karen, Queen of Squishies
Polly asked us to show & tell what we are stitching, so I'll go first,
and I hope this works. If not I'll figure another way. This is hand
piecing and has been very calming for me during this past week.

should have said 'directory - any interest?' by
Karen, Queen of Squishies
After getting a very small response on a topic that usually generates a
few more comments, I am reposting under a different subject line.
Would anyone here be interested in me putting together a simple
directory? Does anyone still want to send out squishies, or is that
something of the past?...

For added strength? by
Polly Esther[_5_]
What was I thinking? I decided to make a Christmas quilt. Collecting
Christmas was big fun and not too pricey since lots of it is on sale now.
Mr. Esther politely says it sure is colorful. Yes, it is that. I have
everything from carols, nativity scenes, snowmen and even 3 wisemen. ( no...

Quilt Retreat Question by
Steven Cook
Hi All
Honest answer needed.
The secretary at work, the one that I love to death and is an obsessive
quilter like me, goes to two quilt retreats a year. One in October and one
in February. They are four days long from Thursday through Sunday. They
rent a bible camp, stay in the dorms, each...

Would anyone here be interested in me putting together a simple
directory? Does anyone still want to send out squishies, or is that

also, I noticed. Lifestyles are changing, commitments are increasing,
etc. Any thoughts on a...

Going to see Ricky Tims by
Lizzy Taylor
I had errands to run for work today which conveniently took me with a
few hundred yards of our LQS. A friend (not local) had emailed me last
week to say that this LQS had Ricky Tims booked for 4th April, so I
diverted and bought my ticket there and then.
For any interested UK quilters the link...

Still Around although not often by
Debbi in SO CA[_2_]
Hi Everyone,
Thought I would check in with y'all. I have not been on RCTQ for a
while but have kept up with some of your activities through FB. Have
been crying since I found out that Pami lost her most heroic fight on
Wednesday night.
I haven't done a lot of quilting lately, but the bug is...
