Directory Alert!

Just wanted to take a few minutes and wish everyone happy holidays and a
safe, prosperous and healthy New Year. I have ended my travels for this
year but am already booked through March for next year. Although, I will
have a change in job responsibilities next year which will decrease my
travels - YAY!!!! Less travel = more quilting!

I will yammer on about that later but I wanted to alert everyone to the
pending new version of the RCTQ Directory. Karen and I have been preparing
the forms and process for this version. This will be her first time with
this project so go kindly on her.

The form will remain basically the same as the last time. One new addition
is to identify the folks using WebTV since we have some formatting issues
for these folks that need to be addressed. I would like to know how many of
you there are so we can be prepared. In addition, a pdf format will be
available as a choice of formats as well as the sortable spreadsheet format
and non-sortable text format.

Now for the new folks who are now scratching their heads saying "What's this
Directory?".

There are several previous posting that explain it in detail if you want to
do a search, but for the short version:

The Directory is a listing of many of the members of RCTQ which includes
their screen name, email address, real name and address, preferences for
fabric types and colors, and birthday information which is optional. Entry
into the Directory is totally voluntary. The information is used by the
group members to share birthday wishes and of course, the always popular
squishies!

Not everyone gets into the Directory. The information in the Directory is
very personal so we don't send it to anyone not a frequent poster or well
known on the newsgroup. New entries are vetted for newsgroup usage, how
often new messages are posted, what percentage are quilt related.
Basically, how well we know you. We take this part of the process very
seriously since you are trusting us with your personal info. We hope you
understand if you don't make it in this year. Stick with us and let us get
to know you better.

Ok, here's how it works. A link will be provided in a message. This link
will take you to a web page with information about the Directory. Read the
info. A link on that page will take you to a form to fill in. Please fill
the form in once! There are no extra points given for multiple entries and
you will owe both Karen and me a squishie! When you fill in the form and
click on the "submit" button, you will get a confirmation page that shows
you what you entered. PRINT THIS PAGE OUT FOR YOUR RECORDS - IT IS YOUR
RECEIPT!

The form will be open for the month of January. It will then close and
Karen and I will start to sort out the names and format the information. We
do not yet have a set deadline for publishing the Directory. This is
Karen's first time at doing this, so it may take her a bit longer to get
through it, but she will keep you posted on her progress.

So, that's it folks. The New Year will start the New Directory!

Happy holidays!

Thank you thank you!! NOt that my info has changed, but I know that Jo
in Scotland has new info as do some others....I finally found my
directory from this past year (gee, it was in the notebook I started for
quilt patterns, BOMS, etc..right in the very front!!)...so, definitely
looking forward to the new one - might put it in it's very own
notebook...lol

I actually travelled so much on the weekends this year that I am off work
until Jan 2nd making up the time.

But so is my DH! I intend to clear out the clutter around here for half the
time and quilt for the rest of the time. Both will reduce my stress
level.....oh, wait, I forgot my DH will be home too...

I like the idea of a .pdf format.......good idea!

Since I have started being serious about quilting for a living (long arm
since Feb. 2007) my time posting on this group has diminished a bit. I do,
however, read several times daily! Lots of great conversation and
information! And none of the sniping that happens on other groups.......

Congrats on the change in job responsibility, Alice. Less travel is always a
good thing......

One of the nice things about my recent trips was using my GPS unit. I was
in Ohio and had just gotten it. As a test, I typed in "quilt" for a place
of interest. 93 shops appeared on my GPS screen! I'll be in Sioux City,
Iowa in early February. I wonder how many I'll see then! Gotta love the
technology!

Any messages posted for the Directory will start with "Directory Alert" so
look for that in your list.
