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 Roberta[_3_]
You're correct, I think. Of course, you could just use the extras to make another block. Roberta in D On Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:41:10 -0400, Martha wrote: I'm playing with a card trick block. I usually make half-square and quarter-square triangle squares using the

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. Kay Ahr in Reno/Sparks, Nevada USA

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...

OK I'm ordering pizza... by NightMist
The kitchen curse is upon us. It is DH's night to cook. He is a really excellent cook too. but... 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 Mary
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 Polly Esther[_5_]
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 Edna Pearl
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...

Machine quilting update-long-Polly by Steven Cook
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...

Oh, Snap! by nancy
Hi everyone, just got back from my local walmart where I was informed that "corporate" wants to eliminate all or most of the craft department. I shop for fabric there as well as at joann, quilt shops, and online. While some people turn their noses up at anything but designer fabric, it is...

Copied from another group. Just FYI. http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml11/11237.html It's a newer Elna (made by Janome ?). Don't remember that anyone here is stitching on one. Polly

Help-Machine quilting by Steven Cook
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 kitchen...
