OT Freecycle finder by
Kathy Applebaum
Just a heads up on a new thing for freecyclers.
http://www.freecycle.org/finder lets you put in a phrase of something you're
looking for, and your geographic area. It will search all the local
freecycle posts for it, and also let you sign up for email alerts about
future posts. NAYY.

A sick quilt gets well by
Joan
I've been doing factory work, finally completing a half dozen baby quilts
for friends and family. Whew! After that I began a quilt for myself. How
strange. In any case, mass producing baby quilts made me a little careless
with the new quilt, and I made a few mistakes which required some
doctoring...

RCTQ Meeting: Rita by
Pat in Virginia
About 10 days ago I had the pleasure of meeting Rita and her
family! She was in this area on vacation, with her DH and her
sister. We arranged to meet at the closest LQS. We all arrived at
the same time, and quickly introduced ourselves. After careful
consideration, Rita and I each managed to find...

Thanks, and need opinions by
Roberta Zollner
First the thanks: To Melissa for the monthly appliqué session! (I like the
pieced blocks too, but haven't found them too challenging yet!) Appliqué was
never my thing, but the discipline of doing some every month has improved my
skills quite a bit. To the extent that I Voluntarily added appliqué to...

Another Success Online S.E.X. by
Debbi
As many of you know, I am working on a quilt for my mother's 80th
birthday which is in January. I am now onto the first borders. When I

dividing border, but the next border is set triangles and will require a
fair amount of fabric....

results from mystery quilts by
Marijke
Ok, my post about the not so happy dance quilt made me realise that this
is the second mystery quilt I've made and the second one I really didn't
like.
I made one at New Year's a couple of years ago and I didn't care for the
way it turned out at all. The pattern was nice, the fabric was nice,...

October BOM done by
Anne in CA
This block was a real stretch of my abilities, for sure. I almost went
with the simplified method others posted, but then decided that Melissa
was giving us progressively harder blocks and I should use it as a
"teaching moment" ;-) I do think my points would have matched better
with the simplified...
