Crib quilt panel by
Polly Esther[_5_]
I was given a crib quilt panel by a dear friend who keeps me from going to
the pore house. Well. What a puzzle. It was alphabet animal blocks and
adorable. They'd printed it so it was 3 blocks by 10. Really. We all know
there's 26 letters in the alphabet but they'd tossed in cute stuff...

new baby! by
Roberta[_3_]
DH's cousin has just given me a treadle that belonged to his aunt (not
DH's mother, obviously, but the other side) Called Excella,
German-made, purchased in 1940. I shall have to do some research, but
if anyone knows anything, feel free to chime in! She has all her
accessories, including a zigzag...

card trick block question by

You're correct, I think. Of course, you could just use the extras to
make another block.

OT - Teranews by
Kay Ahr
Anyone else trying to use Teranews? I haven't been able to get
connected for over a week. And I pay for that! Never have had this
problem with Teranews before. Here I am at Goggle -- almost forgot
how to find RCTQ at Google.

OT Back in the USA by
Alice in PA[_3_]
My DH and I returned from our 34-day vacation cruise on Sunday. It has
taken until today to get things back to normal around here, but it was
completely worth it! We crossed the Atlantic from Florida to Tenerife in
the Canary Isles, stopped in Gibralter, Alacante and Barcelona Spain,...

OT - best recipe for hard-boiled sweets? by
Jo Gibson[_3_]
Hello folks,
I finally have some cinnamon oil and want to reproduce the
buttery-cinnamon hard sweets I used to buy when I lived in Alaska. I
went to my cookbook and it doesn't have a single recipe for hard-boiled
sweets. I figured if I put cinnamon oil as the flavour, buttered the
pan when...

The kitchen curse is upon us.
It is DH's night to cook.
He is a really excellent cook too.

First he started making ice cream for dessert. The custard curdled.
So he jumped to a simple no egg recipe, and lo and behold the top to the
ice cream maker had gone walk about. We still haven't...

stains on Grandmother's flower garden quilt by
Sewgirl
I have been the lucky recipient of a vintage GFG quilt top. I had it
hand quilted by some ladies at a church near my mothers, and now that
it is done, I am unsure how to go about dealing with the stains. Do I
try to hand wash, and with what product, gentle machine wash, or just
let them be? It...

the quilting has begun! by

I have finally begun the hand-quilting on a large quilt that I am
making for ME! This quilt is one of those projects that I began about
5 years ago, worked on in fits and starts, and put away for fairly
long periods of time while I made other quilts.
This quilt will fit my queen-sized bed, and...

OT recommend serger thread by

It's all your fault. I've learned that really good thread (and yarn) makes
a whale of a difference in stitch quality and I learned that here at rctq.
Even the little caps that I knit for preemie babies is so much better
with the yarn that Kate T over on the other side of Mississippi have...

Dress shirt quilt by

I have been asked by a widow to look at her husband's clothes, especially
his shirts, to advise her about making quilts for their grandchildren. I
may decide to make the quilt top for her myself, and advise her to hire a
long-arm quilter to finish the quilt.
The best website I've found is...

question on bindings by
Gen
Has anyone ever fused a binding on a full size quilt with Steam-A-Seam2, as
a permanent way to attach it? I ask because I don't think my hands will
hold up to hand sew the binding on a big quilt, and stitching it on the back
first, then stitching on the front with a decorative stitch doesn't...

Well Polly, here is the update and progress so far. I went down to my LQS
and got some of the 505 spray adhesive. Decided that I would give that a
try. I still have concerns about the stickiness on the needle and in the
machine, but I've checked many times and so far, the needle seems clean...

Help-Machine quilting by

Hi everyone
I need some tips on how to improve my machine quilting. Here are a few
tidbits of information first that limit things a bit.
I don't have a very large area, basically a desk area, so things are bunched
up a bit. If I really, really had to, I could temporarily move to the
