Thanks all and special thanks to Patti by
Edna Pearl
As a beginning quiltmaker, I want to say thanks to everybody here at RCTQ.
I have been dragging and dropping RCTQ threads of particular interest to me
into a separate folder titled "Quilting" with subfolders for "Binding,"
"Basting," "Spray basting," Fabric marking," etc. I find that I consult...

OT - Ultimate Cinnamon roll recipe by
Jo Gibson
I'm not really interested in sweet food now (Week 20 now) but for some
reason, I feel compelled to find the best cinnamon roll recipe in the
world. I have been doing loads of baking lately... don't know what that
is all about either. I tried the recipe in my New Cookbook (red and
white...

OT -- questions about QI by
Mary
To everybody who has a cat, I have some questions about mine, and will
appreciate your advice! Adele was a stray I adopted after she showed
up at my sister's house and simply would not leave. Neighbors began
to feed her and would take her in on cold nights, but enough is enough
and she really...

Do women know about shrinkage? by
Dr. Zachary Smith
Of course you do. It was a bad reference from Seinfeld, but it
works...
Anyhoo, I bought some black quilting cotton last week(?) for my PCQ
foundation that was, according to the bolt,
44"/45". Unfortunately I took the bolt at its word. I washed the
fabric in cold water as I'm supposed to, to...

Suggestion by
maryd[_5_]
Can we get this group back to quilting, please? For mental, emotional, and
other than quilting help, recipe searches, & other not quilting topics go to
Face Book or an appropriate newsgroup or email for help. Most days there
are a few quilting messages but most are OT.
Thanks.

the diamond saga continues by
Karen, Queen of Squishies[_2_]
I have sewn together all my little diamonds into larger diamonds now.
Each large diamond has nine little ones. They are shaded light to dark
from end to end. Gorgeous! All the nine patch squares were already
done, so I'm ready to put it on the design wall. Oh. No. All 32 large
diamonds are...

OT Computer question by
Michelle C.
Well, it's sort of OT. I'm trying to get more space in my sewing room
and realized one thing that would help is if I could set my computer
tower on its side and put it on a shelf, instead of having it on top of
the table where it now sits. Does anyone know if it is safe to put a
computer on...

May I come back now, please? by
Sartorresartus
I was a member of this group when Noah was a lad, then _things_
happened.
I'm sort-of back-in-the-land-of-the-living now, and trying to re-
establish old ties. I missed you all, but thought a litany of misery
was inappropriate. Quilting has been a Godsend.
I still have gadgets. (Just sent for...

I have had this idea haunting me for some time and want to toss it at y'all
and see what you throw back at me. In the entryway of a new house there's a
stone wall- maybe to the ceiling and maybe not- maybe real rocks or maybe
the man-made type. Some type of lighting would be in the ceiling or...

Hello All
There seems to be a new rash of Trolls, Phishers, Hackers and whatever else
on the prowl the last week. I just wanted to send out a warning to be ever
vigilant. My PayPal account was hacked, and I haven't used it in 8 months.

long arm quilting stitch in the ditch question by
claudia
Good morning everyone
I am curious. I have no experience with long arm quilting. Personally
I like my quilts quilted as simply as possible; I prefer stitch in the
ditch 99% of the time. Usually I do this by fighting my sewing machine
for power over the project, a major wrestling match. I was...

Demand that Obama release his college records! Where is the media? by
Micky
Why is it important to see Obama's college records? Because the media
has created fantasies around Obama on every issue. You should start
dispelling them with the easiest one, i.e. the fantasy of Obama's
"academic degrees and honors".
Obama has been fighting desperately to block all access to his...
