Got a call at 5 am. From my boy. It seems the abscess has filled up again, so they are sending him back to Germany to get a drain put in and iv antibiotics. Ty refused to be the one to tell me and made the doctor talk to me. He told them that they had told me he was coming back to the US and he had...

There has been some interest at our local quilt shop in a Jo Morton miniature group. Is anyone involved in such a group either through a shop, guild or just a group of friends? I am trying to decide how to organize the group. Are Jo Morton's miniatures different from other miniatures other than her...

Well, since no-one has posted any objections to this - here's the list of questions. Please send the replies to me - not the rctq. Anyone new to the group who doesn't know how to send an email response please ask through rctq without answering the questions, and someone will post instructions or...

Hey y'all, in a freecycle pickup earlier this year, I got a crudload of 6" squares of fabric that a woman had cut up for whatever reason, and then gave up on ever using. I have scanned the fabrics and put them on Shutterfly. There are 3 images. The first one is a collection of 40 squares in...

Went to the Dr late yesterday (unscheduled). Thought I was having a reaction to the HBP meds (I was--am cutting one in half for a week and then back to him for a follow-up) BUT I also went for x-rays today---swollen feet--left one quite badly. He very gently touched it--I was in tears (and my foot...

I had an email from our friend with the casino in Biloxi. "That's a very kind and generous offer. I'll talk to our folks and determine the best way to do it." -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

After a few ugly hours in court, the result was a draw--for now. The judge appointed an ad-litem attorney for the children, so I'll be spending at minimum $1800 on this guy. My ex's attorney is trying to find someone different, claiming this guy charges too much. Truth is, she doesn't want to...

The photographs are copyright, and you should not use them, even for your own use, without permission... This is always the case, but it is worth asking for permission, especially if you do not plan to sell the end product. If you get permission, and subsequently show the quilt, you must credit...

I'm angry! It's terribly heartbreaking what the folks in the southern states of the USA are suffering right now. I feel so badly for them and their losses of lives and property- I can't begin to imagine the horror and terror they must be experiencing right now. BUT.... up here in Missouri it...

Ok, I am curious. I use gray thread for piecing my darks and mediums and ivory for my lights and whites. What does everyone else do for the thread colour in piecing? I do this because: A) I think they blend in well and I don't have to change thread often when piecing and

I've been away from this group for a while. I'd like to say I've been too busy quilting, but that's only been a small part of it. My computer keeps going on the blink, and my son just started college, so while the computer is working and I'm moping around, I've got a question for you all about...

Will be gone for the next 6 days. Heading to Florida to see my mom, sisters and nieces - right into the on-coming hurricane. If the flight is not canceled, we should be in Ft. Lauderdale 10 tomorrow. I understand school is already closed for Thursday and Friday. Linda PATCHogue, NY

Can anyone suggest a very easy table runner that I can make for DD's new dining room? I need for it to be easy for a few reasons: 1. She is into seasonal decorations so it will be changed 3-4 times a year. 2. I am having a bad time with both knees, walking with a cane, had cortisone shots in...

So, are very small problem in the bigger scheme of things: I'm finishing up a baby quilt for a baby to be born in Oct (supposedly anyway). Normally I don't get round to finishing baby quilts until after the little one is born, and the parents so far have had a name ready. So the name of the little...

Please pray for all of us. We think the Esther Furry Face Shelter is going to be okay - but, oh my, how our hearts hurt for those who have kissed their homes goodbye and had to go to shelters. Then, there are the ones who won't go. And then, there are the ones who don't understand that this...
