guild show and tll tiqutt

Sue, I went from Smith to Pucci, so I know of what you speak.

Cindy I've never lived on a street I didn't have to spell either ( right
now it's Cayuga - Ky/U'/ga.) in Frontenac. I have to spell everything at
least twice. Except Kansas.

...
ah yes, the name game....I grew up with a very simple name: Sue Hill.
Figured I would make my children's lives more "spicy" by giving them
different and thrilling names like Jazmyn or Bastian....then I met and
fell in love with - and eventually married - an Italian. Now I have to
correct just about everyone - either with the spelling or the
pronunciation! "That's capital D - i, capital N as in Nancy, a, p as in
Peter, o, l, i..." and it's said "Dih Nap oh lee" (not dye-nap-oh-lye).
SO...had to give the boys (have three of them now) names that could be
said - and written - with ease. So, we've got Christopher, Alexander
and Nicholas...however we went with the slightly different and thrilling
nicknames: Christo, Xander and Nichos. Unfortunately, it REALLY bugs
me when people call them Chris, Alex and Nick...those names aren't my
sons! (It especially unnerves me when I go to our pediatricians office -
where we've been going for the past 9+ years - and they still ask me:
"Are you Mom?" and then call the boys by the more common nicknames...)
Drives me batty! Oh, sorry, rambling on because I'm tired and my back
hurts...just wanted to say: thanks for the pronunciation help Taria!

Taria like Maria is the way Pat. I spend a lot of time explaining
that. I named my kids easy to read/pronounce names.

Now that you mention it ... I've often wondered HOW to pronounce your

with Maria?

years to finish and I knew was going to take years to quilt (it did).
It was well received both times. Mine is a smaller group so that
makes
things different than a guild with hundreds of folks. We are around
80
and maybe 30-40 that show up most meetings. I always enjoy seeing
what
other quilters are doing. BTW, Some of the old gals still call me
tiara
instead of Taria, it has been over 10 years since I joined my guild.

Yes, Pucci is an easy one. It is
pronounced as is the name of a fabric
designer .... very hot in the sixties. Yes?
Those prints would make for some fun
quilts, btw.

Imagine Gucci with a "P". Easy. "cc" followed by a vowel is "ch".

A little too, um, BRIGHT for my tastes, but I'm seeing those prints coming
back.

That's ok. I always have a heck of a time remembering whether
there are 2 r's or 2 s's in your name. Did you ever tell
us how we are supposed to pronounce your last name?
I just like to think of you as 'doc' ; )

oh yes, I get a lot of Marrisas, which I think is odd because melissa is
fairly common... vignali has the soft gn sound almost like the ñ... the
a is the longest...

Well, I showed the top and got a lot of 'ooohs' and 'aahs' - it was a
great conversation starter too, several people came to talk about it (it
was charity month too, no speaker, potluck + we made xmas stockings, so
people were more social than usual)

I haven't been in a guild for a while but the one I used to be in had
everything at show and share, usually the ones who showed tops are what
we called "Toppers"; quilters who love making the tops but not the
finishing. I tend to be a topper because I love designing and sewing
the tops. I can't really afford to have them machine quilted and as
much as I love hand quilting, I am not very good at putting the quilt
sandwich together. I do OK on smaller quilts but the larger tops I
have made have been quilted by machine because I am so intimidated by
the basting process. I don't have the floor space to lay out a large
quilt and doing it in sections on my cutting table always ends up with
puckers on the back!! Needless to say, I have several large tops
waiting for the funds to be machine quilted!

is it OK to show a top in your guild's show and tell or do you guys
limit yourselves to completed quilts? I am not too shy, but I haven't
gathered the courage to do SNT yet... maybe now that I was voted evening
secretary (though of course they misspronounced my last name!) I will
finally dare - but should I wait until I have really finished a project
or do you guys think I can show a top?
