Do we ever see any of the finished Hug Quilts these days - just wondering. It used to be so nice to go to that site and see them all, but I realize that was a lot of work to keep on ... it was much appreciated tho'. Sharon (N.B.)

Woo hoo! We have an offer. Not a fantastic one, but we have countered. They also wanted to take posession on July 6! LOL! Like I could pack up my sewing room in that time. Linda in Tx

Does anyone else have an addiction to Oriental fabric? I can't keep my fingers off it, and I have a bunch. My problem is I can't cut into it. I haven't seen a pattern that I think will lend itself to the lovely prints except for panel quilts. Anyone out there like me? -- Boca Jan Florida -...

Welcome to RCTQ, a usenet discussion group of quilters. We want to read all about your quilting activites, and welcome questions. We may even come up with some helpful answers! But we do have a few requests, to keep this NG moving along. We ask that you do not post pictures here, but we love to...

I thought some of you might like to check out an auction I've started for the quilt I asked about a few weeks ago. Here's part of the description: You are bidding on an heirloom quality "Heart Of Roses" appliqued quilt designed and sewn by the renowned quilt designer C. Jean Horst. She employs...

Here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all the conflicting medical studies: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer ...

Well what do you know, I got a late bd present last night. A drunk driver hit me while I was driving home from my quilt guild meeting. Totaled the car and I ended up in ER. Fortunately there doesn't seem to be anything broken or bleeding, but boy do I have bumps and bruises. I am very thankful...

My DH is curious as to how many of you have seen lightening bugs and if the state that you are currently residing in has them? I know this was discussed a couple of years ago ((?????)) maybe but of course I didn't pay too much attention then. So, if anyone would like to respond, email me off list...

Seems like we've had a few on the group recently who've suffered some type of injury or another -- add me to the list! I've never been known for being particularly graceful (spraining an ankle by jumping up in the air and landing with my foot on the door stop, spraining another when I tripped...

I thought potential customers should be warned, particularly international customers. I placed an order on the 19th of June which has still not shown up, and after contacting the owner, it now transpires that the order was shipped to Canada. Now, I've been ordering online for what - 10 years?...

At least metaphorically. Had my follow up appointment at Roswell today. As many of you probably already know ovarian cancer has a dismal mortality rate. Primarily because it is usually not discovered until it is well advanced, generally stage 3 or 4. Considering the size of the tumor I was...

Just to round off the project, here are pictures of the completed little quilt. I promised you it is me! - despite the rather 'full' quilting g. I thought it would be OK, as a little quilt (it isn't quite a mini!) is supposed to be a scaled down large quilt - no visible...

If you are sensitive to graphic photos, do not watch. An important lesson for everyone with New Year's Eve coming up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwWJZ1MiApw Sharon (N.B.)

Doesn't one of you (or more) do hand-dyed fabrics? Can you tell me where I can see a picture of some? TIA, -- TerriLee in WA (state) remove the cats to reply http://community.webshots.com/myphotos?action=viewAllPhotos&albumID=548330161

When doing my quilt I used Dritz Washable spray adhesive in lieu of Basting and pining to stabilize the three part sandwitch. What is the preferred method of accomplishing this. Basting/spray adhesive/or combination of those/or some other unknown, to me, method? John

It talks to me. It shouts and argues and debates and sometimes it even prevaricates! You are normal, and sounds like you are having a ton of fun!!!! Let us know when the pics are ready to veiw please? Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Kathy in CA" wrote in...

I am so reluctant to tell you this. For sure, I've imposed on you all with my "war correspondent" view. Pass on by if you've heard enough from me. Actually, I've heard enough from me. Our DD2 is a Katrina victim. Katrina took her and her precious DH's clothes, food, job and left them with a home...

I will not be posting for a while because I am moving within the city of Pocatello, Idaho, 1 of next month. Just didn't want you all to be concerned about what happened to me. Maybe we should all move every 5 years, just so we can get rid of all the junk we accumulate. Just call me...

My quilt group will be going to the mountains for some cooler weather next weekend. We originally planned to bring our current quilt project and sewing machines, but we were just told today that there isn't enough room in the cabin for all of our machines. Therefore, we've been asked to bring a...
