This morning's paper has an ad from a law office. "New location, all files intack". Polly

All I can say right now is "drat"! I came here looking for ideas for surface design and dyeing, and now I (person who has always loathed sewing) want to make a quilt! You must be contageous or something.... I am also thinking I want to do something by hand first.... Are crazy quilts the...

I've been asked when I'm going to update the directory...well, why not now? Deadline is October 15th to get your info to me. This time we're trying something different. Alice has set up a form for everyone to fill out. The info will be mailed to me when you hit the submit button. Isn't she...

Ok, in addition to this new fun frappr toy, we have had quite a few newbies join us lately. And a few oldies seem to be crawling out of the woodwork. VBG So... let's all introduce ourselves. If you pinned yourself on Frappr, let us know so we can see where you...

I have developed a new pattern to my day which was working well until someone rings the doorbell. I am out of bed by 6 am and read the newspaper while eating breakfast. By 7:00 I am ready to start my day but the men folk in my house are using all the hot water. Lately I have been coming to the...

Rant ahead. I'm not sure when, or why it changed, but there used to be a time, not so long ago, that people censored themselves. Things said in public were kept to a certain level of politeness. Most people didn't curse in public. Most people were careful about the audience they told off-color...

I'm curious as to what everyone's favorite "pick me up food" is. Myself, I love dark chocolate. I have a secret stash (which is not so secret anymore) of Dove Dark chocolate (goes well with a latte). I'd also like to know when the "Queen of Chocolate" on this ng will relinquish her title so that...

I am about to show you my worst side. Maybe not. Please just let me ask for your feelings on a situation. You are in a doctor's office. You wait two hours. You fill out a mountain of papers for information that could easily have been obtained from the documents already on file. You are not...

I was losing so much hair that I went to the barber shop this morning. I had hair everywhere in the shower and I knew this was my buzz day. It feels different but if I had let all my hair come off on it's own I would of needed a plumber to clean out a drain. I will wear a cap out but at home...

a quick pic of what I've been up to (in addition to piecing 42 simple blocks that I may put together this weekend) "Santa's Workshop--Ricebag Division" and "Rice Bags closeup" These measure about 38" x 4" and the covers are removable. I put buttonholes in the covers and the rice bag itself and...

Well, I just finished my latest quilt. A 66"x 66" lap quilt for my wife; (the self professed quilting widow). I think it is my best effort to date. Hope you like it. http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y74/fixedgearhead/sewing/?action=view&current=LogCabinQuilt.jpg John

I'm patiently waiting reports on what goodies Santa brought you all. Santa came early this year and took me to Scotland with all the shopping exeditions included. Oh, I guess I did get a new set of tires on my van the other day. Merry Christmas to me! Almost as expensive as my plane...

I have discovered that I am a tea addict. Have loved the stuff for ages, but have discovered recently that I must have my afternoon tea. About 2 in the afternoon, if I haven't started the tea kettle for a English Teatime or a Constant Comment... I start to lose steam and feel a bit...

Okay, I finally finished one of my UFOs and I'm sitting here cutting the fringe into a flannel shag quilt. Do I remember these nexts steps right? 1.) Wash it 2.) Dry it a little, shake it out outside, clean the lint trap repeat every 15 minutes until shagged as desired. ? Giselle (that's IT? )

Please read this fully...... Thank you for your time! My name is Cheyne, the eldest daughter of my mom. Growing up my mom has always had problems with her weight but the past few years, things have gotten bad for her. After having an emergency hysterectomy and nearly dying from blood loss, she...

I am sure all you have heard Daniel Powder's song..."Bad Day" well this was my bad day. I learned I have breast cancer. I had my lumpectomy this week and it came back as malignant garde 3 tumor. I will have to get a "masectomy" and have chemo. This has been a rough day for me but I don't think...

Do we all have to tell our life's story on this group? A little bit about sewing and quilting is enough. DM

I found RCTQ when I was new to the internet and trying to figure out the attraction to chat rooms. This forum was more of what I was looking for and was not filled with people pretending to be in their 40's when they were really only teenagers. I do not post often but do read the ng daily. ...
