Thank you all who have contributed to the Chineses Transalation dillema. It boggles ones mind!... (well, MY mind anyhow LOL) I've been listening for a long time, but she just isn't talking to me, and I've finally decided she probably just wants to be called Kapusta, plain and simple! For those of...

Alrighty, I thought some of you might get a teeny giggle out of this (and some of ya'll will feel sorry for Buddy the Wonderdog). I've given away most of my quilts - I've only kept a few that either have special memories (like the one that I gave my Gramma before she passed away and that she left...

My friend Carol Ann writes a column for her local paper. This is this week's column: Riding the Prairie Winds By Carol Ann Jones Missing Mom Last night I found a wooden baseball bat, the one Mom used to use to kill mice when we lived on the farm. She was wicked with that thing. The

Hello Quilters! I was wondering if anyone was going to A Quilter's Gathering quilt show in New Hampshire in a couple of weeks. I have 2 quilts in the show, but I can't travel because of my pregnancy. If someone is going, and could take photos of my quilts, I would be EXTREMELY APPRECIATIVE. I...

Ooooh who on earth invented skinny quarters and skinny eighths? Why oh why did they do it? I decided this morning to (finally) get around to making the quilted journal covers for my DDs. I've had the journals sitting there for months, had the fabric and batting sitting there for months -...

The story so far ... I have quite a lot on my 'doing' and 'to do' list, so I don't have much of available time to spend practising free-motion machine quilting, which is what seems to be *the* desirable thing. I'm afraid I mind that I can't get stitches even and such. So, I persist in doing even...

Last weekend I was lucky to participate in a special quilting weekend, on a lovely lake in the foothills here in Virginia. The sponsor/organizer was tithe Virginia Consortium of Quilters, a collection of quilters and guilds. This was my first time at this bi-annual activity, which is called VCQ...

It is now a bit after 11pm and it is the first time I have been to the ng today. I couldn't believe the volume of messages since late last night! I spent the day working on some Sunbonnet Sue and Sam blocks today. I managed to get 8 of them done. All together I now have 64 6" blocks done. ...

I've been away from RCTQ, not quite 'off planet' but sometimes it felt that way. Since the Directory has just come out and I had to inform Alice of changes to 4 of 13 relevant fields for my entry I thought it might be time to re-introduce myself. So now I am back -- with a new name, new home,...

I finally finished DD#2's 4 patch. Literally a 4 patch for a twin size bed. Red & Black to go in her newly designed room. Pics will be posted soon. Just waiting for a sunny day to hang it out on the clothesline to take the picture. Next project is to MQ the top I gave my sister at Xmas. Deni from...

As some of you may remember, I got flooded out of my basement studio last May. Just after we'd gotten all the ick from the flood cleaned up, it flooded again in August (fortunately not as bad the second time around.) So I've been without my sewing space for about 9 months. Yesterday we...

Just have to tell everyone about this. Last Wednesday our Guild (Seaside Piecemakers) had Mark Sherman give the program. What a great time!! He had all of us laughing all the way through his trunk show and story telling. Well worth the effort to have him for a program. In the afternoon he gave...

I finally got around to checking out the maybe-quilt store in the local strip mall (Cameron Park California). It really is a quilting store. Bolts of fabric, some FQs (I think) and a classroom in the back. I didn't get a lot of detail, I was in and out very quickly. The name of it seems to be High...

I had insomnia last night so I spent a few hours looking at all the wonderful sewing studios that someone posted a link for. Here's one of mine. http://community.webshots.com/user/calico_jewels *g* Linda, in Lancaster PA

1. In response to an OT post concerning Steve Irwin's untimely demise, I was critical of the sentiments being expressed pointing out the man made his fortune tormenting animals for the amusement of the 'ignorant'. The response was a stream of abuse, at least I think it was abuse. From that I...
