A guy stuck his head into a barber shop and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut"? The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, "About two hours." The guy left. A few days later, the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, "How long before I can get a...

Will be there on Sunday if anyone is going. Linda PATCHogue, NY

I have been searching for years for a flannel that would not pill, fuzz, warp or ravel unreasonably. I have paid as much as $18 per yard in the quest. Eighteen dollars per yard is way beyond budget for making shelter quilts but I was as serious as could be. Today I tossed a length of flannel...

I saw a wonderful piece by Talking Quilts (can't find on the web now) called "motto" about how coin collectors are not expected to spend their coins and stamp collectors are not expected to mail their stamps so why do people think I need to sew my fabric into something - I am a fabric collector. I...

I'm trying to get ahold of you to let you know that I DID received the books but your email is being returned to me. We are in the process of selling all of my oldest son's stuff and he is getting ready to move out of the country and we've been a little busy. Thank you again. -- Cindy from MO

As one who has BTDT (or most of it anyway) my quick advice is - Do what you HAVE to in the way of cleaning (going into even minor surgery exhausted and stressed is not a good idea) Get a simple handsewing project for your recovery time. Placemats are my favourite for this, or even knitting. ...

Last week, I recieved a lovely bundle of Christmas fabrics. They are so cheery! Mostly blues, and they fit in great with my other fabric. Maybe when I get back from Houston, I'll work on one of my Christmas quilts some more. I have several in-progress, but haven't worked on them much lately....

dead line for sign up Oct 21, 2006 It's time to get ready for our Holiday luncheon exchange 2006 that KK in BC started last year. What a success it was and so much fun! We are starting earlier this year to allow for those sending overseas the opportunity to save on postage. I know how costly it...

My webshots: http://community.webshots.com/user/idahoqltr I posted a few of my favorite quilts from the last 3 quilt shows (Boise, Simi Valley, Santa Clara) I attended in "others quilts". We saw some amazing quilts in Santa Clara; could have spent more time there if the legs would hold up and we...

Several RCTQ members plan to meet Tomorrow (Wednesday) at 1:30 p.m. in The Cotton Shop, 331 E. 2nd St. Muscatine, Iowa. Anyone in the area is welcome to join us. My husband and son will be back in Chicago guarding the stash. Actually they would probably like it if you came by and took a few yards...

I'm afraid your machine, nor your quilt will like the hand quilting thread. It has a coating on it - I'm sure someone here can explain what that is, but you should not use it in your machine - it might make you take it to the sewing machine hospital, which would be much worse than going out...

If your significant other has a serger, edge the fabrics using one needle. You can pull the threads off and press the material after its washed.Kay -- All outgoing mail is scanned by Norton Anti Virus software.

If the label says "glazed" or something like that, best not to use it in the machine. The coating comes off sometimes and gunks up the tension disks. Buy an extra spool while you're there. (Some people have a thread collection almost as big as the fabric stash!) Roberta in D "Just Judy"...
