I first saw this group in July 1998, on a friend's computer, and joined in not long after, when I got webTV.

Wow, the changes this group has seen. The loss of quilty friends, celebrations of all sorts, and everything in between. The gain of some very good friends, whom I would never have met except for this group. The wonders of modern technology.

Twenty years ago yesterday -- August 2, 1995: my first post to RCTQ. I lived in Fargo then. The public television station offered inexpensive internet (email) access -- two hours a day. The service included a range of UseNet Newsgroups, among them RCTQ. I was a novice at both quilting and the internet back then. RCTQ provided a wonderful community, a virtual quilt guild, acquaintances that I value, and friendships that I treasure.
