150 posts a day? Is that ALL? lol Wow will feel like a break for me rofl
Between two yahoo groups I receive anywhere from 400 to 800 a day! Needless to say, they get skimmed a lot on the subject lines lol I'm an OT kinda gal, love hearing about everything including quilting. I try to post all my quilty related pics at my photo album so they will always be there, just follow the link in my siggy line ;-) Being new to quilting I never thought I'd have a favorite anything but that has changed lol I'm a big time batik and hand dye lover (who isn't? lol) I collect green and purple the most as they are my favorite colors, but when looking at my meager stash the piles are pretty much even *g* Currently I'm in a Kona black and bright batik faze lol I love Jinny Beyer fabrics and her quilting designs! One day I plan on making her moonglow quilt. I live 45 minutes from Ruthies Notions and she has the moonglow quilt hanging in her classroom! I so wanted to see if I could sneak it out a couple of times rofl I hope I fixed my addy ok, but after looking at some of the posts I think I can do better ;-) Thanks for the tip on that as well! 5 acres is a lot to care for, but my kids love all the room they have. I hate living in the boonies though lol Closest quilt shop is over 45 minutes away from me in two directions and one is over 2 hours away in Panama City. Needless to say I plan my shopping very carefully lol Hoping Wilma doesn't come up this way. I'm in the NW panhandle, pretty much where Hurricane Ivan came in at. He stomped on my utility shed grrrr We don't need any more 'canes up here at the moment, but sure could use some of her rain ;-) Hoping that she reduces to a cat 1 or lower before she hits anywhere in the US. Hugs, Kerensa "nzlstar*" wrote in message ... nice to have ya here with us, ms K. pull up a comfy chair and grab u'r cuppa cuz we are a chatty lot here and often have over 150 new posts each day. dont feel obliged to read them all. those not talking quilting should show up as OT aka Off Topic, so if you're only wanting to hear bout quilting/sewing that will speed up your reading some. hee hee. and we dont post pix here (not a pix ng) or post any advertising of our own retail websites just as a general rule of thumb tho some do creep in occasionally. watch for the occasional troll to appear and try throwing spanners into the works here, for those we just tend to either ignore them or find out what quilting they are up to, lol. we'd love to hear about your fav colours, designs, fabs, chocolate and QIs. as well if you've got any questions, feel free to ask or join in with replys bout your own experience with any topics posted here. we all learn from one another, even those who are pros at this quilting obsession. from a slightly grey day in the usually sunny south pacific, jeanne who thinks from your siggy lines you've been to the Houston show, lol Ms Di, OI, who you calling shameless???? well i never!! hrmph and i just now finished sending Kerensa a post about fixing her addy so she wont be harvested. now i'm busy looking thru all her pix on yahoo. what a lovely place you got there...5 acres too, very nice for those kidlets to grow up on. nice to have ya here with us, ms K. i sure hope ya got all the hatches battened down as i hear that nasty Wilma is on her way thru Florida. and i do not beg. in fact iirc, i asked for no more squishys as i'm full up to the brim after my long trip over there thru recently. good grief, some people. yes yes i still love ya Di but you'll be giving our newbie the wrong idea about me, not to mention others here who dont know me very well. hugz, jeanne just one of the nutz, pass the m'n'ms please if anyone can find'em -- san-fran at ihug dot co dot nz nzlstar on yahoo msg'r http://community.webshots.com/user/nzlstar |

Wendy, have been checking out your quilts and I love your very large lap
quilt! I learned to make the block you used while attending my very first appliqué class earlier this year. One day I plan on giving it a try with the machine instead lol I adore all the different prints you used in it! Whenever I am at a quilt shop I look through their fabrics for ideas and I'm always drawn to that section ;-) Your boot stocking is just too adorable!! And I love Pink Elephants on Parade! Thanks for letting me browse through your photos! Hugs, Kerensa "frood" wrote in message m... Hi, Kerensa! Lovely name - I hope I'm pronouncing it in my head correctly. Welcome to one of the friendliest newsgroups around! -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm |

Hello Sandy and thanks for the welcome! I think I'm finding my way around
fairly well so far ;-) I sure do have pictures posted where you can see them! Lots of pictures lol One day I'll design my own website for them, but need a few more quilts under my belt first lol You can find my photos he http://photos.yahoo.com/ph/a_web_junkie/my_photos Thanks for looking at them! I'm currently working on teaching myself to hand quilt using a Fabric Challenge quilt that I made in the SFQ yahoo group. It just calls for handquilting lol -- Hugs, Kerensa "Sandy Foster" wrote -- Welcome, Kerensa! And what a pretty name you have!

Hi Kerensa,
Welcome to the group. Nice to see another beginning quilter here. Be careful though because after a few days of reading posts and looking through albums, your stash will need a utility shed of its own. You have some really nice pics there. Thanks for sharing them with us. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that Wilma blows herself out before reaching FL. My aunt just finally got her roof fixed last month from damge done by Ivan.

Welcome, Kerensa - and it's nice to meet you, too.
You'll soon see how it all works here in RCTQ land - just sit around the cyber frame and plunge in. I haven't time to look at your pictures yet, but have saved the link for when I have a bit longer than a moment! Thanks for sharing them, anyway. .. In message .net, Kerensa Slay writes Hello all.

Welcome Kerensa - from another relative "newbie" from the other side of the
globe. Those of us in Oz (and in NZ - yes, Jeanne, I was thinking of you) have a tiny problem with time zones but . . . . . that is the price we pay for being so far "ahead" of you! LOL (and ducking!). But then - our weekend is half over and yours is just beginning! BTW - Happy Labor Day long weekend Jeanne!! Some rctq members who use quilting software also have a group for virtual swaps, challenges and Round Robins. If you are a user of EQ or Quilt Pro please feel free to join us. -- Cheryl ^;;^ ^;;^ ^;;^ 0 ~ ~ Enness Boofhead Donut (Enness still lame, Boof getting better, Donut bored with no-one to chase!) http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest cawaites@netconnectDOTcomDOTau "catsatararat" on yahoo msgr No trees were cut don to send this message . . . . . . but a large number of electrons were seriously inconvenienced "Kerensa Slay" wrote in message news Hello all.
