I always enjoy reading your posts and hearing of all you have been doing.
So glad to hear you have some quilting friends at work. Unfortunately I've never had any sewing or quilting friends. However I do have a chance to get with craft friends, and while they knit, I do some of my hand sewing. Barbara in FL |

It never ceases to amaze, what a small world we are in. Being able to so
easily communicate with folks all over the world about a topic we love so much. My favorite quilting store is up the road about 1/2 mile from the Interlochen Arts Academy!!! (www.interquilten.com) And my favorite state is Alaska, where I visited for a short, short time in the '80s. KT. in MI "Steven Cook" wrote in message mmunications... Dear Polly While Religion and I have an uneasy truce, I surely do remember fondly the days of the choir at Church. I was truly very lucky having such an exposure to world-class conducting, singing and instrument playing that still makes me tingle and pinch myself to remember. Interlochen Arts Academy is something to behold. And, speaking of this, I remember an acapella version of Balm of Gilead. Oh dear me, hearing that in eight parts is quite something. That would be a good name for a quilt and I could just make it an appliqued collage of all the things that are near and dear. Wouldn't that be fun!? I'd have to devise a way to represent RCTQ, that is for sure. Steven Alaska "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... Well said, dear friend. In the best of times and in the worst of times, and all the times in between, quilting is our balm. Maybe we should name our next quilt Gilead. Assuming, of course, that we can spell it right. Polly "Steven Cook" wrote in message mmunications... Hi All Big winds today but no snow at my elevation yet. I'm attached to an anchor so I won't blow away. But, two happy moments today when I got to thinking about it. First, to whomever mentioned the "stab-the-tail-twice" method after threading your needle so it doesn't come un-threaded. You are my hero, because I use silk thread a lot, and now you're the hero of many of the ladies at work and two quilt stores. In the last two weeks I've been to two quilt stores and showed the ladies the idea. They love it. Today, during a period of time during Parent-Teacher Conferences when not one parent was in the building, I showed the home ec teacher, our armed-services liaison, three secretaries and the registrar. All were impressed and excited to try it at home the next time a needle and thread make an appearance. Second, there are now four avid quilters at school, including me, so I have someone to talk with, share with, commiserate with, challenge with, excite with, when it comes to quilting. The main office secretary and I have been sharing ever since she came to our school over seven years ago. And recently her old machine died, she bought a new one at a fantastic price, and the old one was even resurrected at a very good price. Now one of the science teachers and a math teachers are going crazy too. In fact, the science teacher has achieved a bigger stash in one year than I have after many, many years. Projects arrive at school weekly for show-and-tell, help and suggestions. Such fun. In the midst of a rough year at work and in some cases all around, quilting is our balm. Thank you ladies, and gents, for being here and sharing and laughs along the way. Steven, who is thinking of a friend who had the twins smashed again today because of an ominous shadow. Alaska |

I don't remember exactly what it looks like but RCTQ has/had a logo at one time. Should be pretty easy to applique if it can be found. Donna in Bellevue Here's a link: http://www.oocities.org/heartland/ranch/4775/ rusty |

Here is a video that I found on YouTube. Different than what I know, but
this works too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYsKET2E1LQ I guess that I just may have to venture in to making a video to show you how. Steven Alaska "Alice in PA" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the link. I had forgotten about the logo. A copy is now in
my idea file for my gratefulness collage.

The video shows the method I use. I do use a needle threader to thread
the loop through the eye of the needle, though. Julia in MN On 10/26/2011 9:15 PM, Steven Cook wrote: Here is a video that I found on YouTube.
