I just read the posts under breast cancer/OT and I can't thank you for the support. Today my husband and I went to see the surgeon. We layed all the cards out...this cancer is very agreesive. I did mention to him I worked in at a very popular manufacturing plant years ago and it's still in...

and not because I wanted to or had planned on it. Why is it when you think things may finally take a turn for the good something else happens to mess it up? I spent most of today (Sunday) with a mop, a bucket, some rubber gloves, some garbage bags and a whole lot of bleach. Yup. Sewer backed up....

A few days ago Val posted a funny about Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. Like most of y'all I read it, laughed and forgot about it. Then, today, it happened to me..... Yesterday I realized I needed a lap quilt finished by this weekend. Yikes! I emailed Pat on her hill about it and she...

As I have just sewed a row for the third time and have it come out exactly the same (5 mismatched points in a row), I thought I would start a new humor topic/question for all of those must-be-perfect projects... How do you hide your mismatched points? Here are my contributions: 1. Applique right...

Right before DH and I left on our cruise, I finished a quilt I'd been working on. I used 100-wt. silk thread for most of the quilting, and I really like this stuff! It melts right into the fabric for a subtle effect. I also used some metallic thread to quilt over the metallic accents in the...

What quilt related things did you get for the holiday? I got a tripod to help me with quilt picture taking ;-) The new AQS quilt calendar. A book on Italian floor tiles as quilting inspiration. marcella

A local charity just asked me to look at a group of antique quilts that were donated for a fund raiser. Everyone of them had been quilted since 2000 on a long arm machine. The backs are mostly from JoAnn's. Some bindings do not coordinate with the quilt tops. The tops vary in quality but most are...

Are ye ready?? All who see this: Know ye that The Umpteenth Annual Quilting Week for Residents and Visitors of RCTQ Land shall commence on Saturday, 20 January 2007, and shall continue through Sunday, 28 January 2007. Enjoy this time for practicing and

Well I have finally finished something. But oh dear - it's one of those "I-can't-believe-I-ever-started-something-like-this-in-the-first-place" things. MANY years ago when I was primarily into embroidery I was facinated by Assisi and Blackwork. In order to practise I made up a pattern that...

This really is totally off topic: I'm furious - I use a loyalty card at the local supermarket (Tesco). It gives me points and 4 times a year vouchers are sent out based on number of points earned. Well, in May my envelope did not arrive. I called them and they transferred the points back in...

Or just being ignored? I was hoping for some feedback about sending quilts to be part of a museum display, but got no response. I'm trying again before I slink back to my corner... I've been asked to submit some quilts to a museum wishing to mount a display of "religious quilts." Since this is...

We got back from the vet awhile ago. £150 later ($193) she has been for 2 chest x-rays and been prescribed 2 medications. It appears that she had so much fluid in and around her lungs that she was barely able to breathe... there wasn't much available lung left. Andy is of the opinion that, if we...

Well. I saw many many answers for every discussion.. but any discussions.. it's a good thing in a forum!! I didn't say here that my black cat (a cat of mine) is lost.. we think somebody taken him away.. And I miss him so much!! But I didn't talked about this here, because I thought that it...

{{{{{{{{{Hugs to you Tricia}}}}}}}}}} No words that I come up with will help at the moment, but know that I am thinking of you and your family. Your RCTQ family share your pain but know that we hold you close in our hearts and send all our love and best wishes. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia...

Me, who has ALWAYS avoided sewing any curves of any kind on any thing.... suddenly has a wild hair to make a few round potholders. Bought the insul-brite, have the fabric - but how - oh how - do you cut the "perfect circle"? Trace? Fold in half? Fourths? Do tell.... mine look...... welllll - rather...

http://tinyurl.com/fltw4 Definitely the biggest medallion of any kind that I've ever made. The compass is 48" across. Finished quilt will be about 64" square. The background is a black batik with slight shadings of blue that set off the compass nicely. This one is going to raise money for...

Ok, you all know that I am very pregnant, but what you don't know is that I am a high risk pregnancy with many little things that may or may not amount to anything. In looking at the measurements of the baby this week, next week the doctors will decide when to induce labor. It is possible that...

It's been a long time since I could say that I have finished something. But today - http://tinyurl.com/ms3lb Yay!! It's only 19" X 52", but it's FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Cheryl & the Cats _ _ _ _ _ _ ( Y ) ( Y ) ( Y )

ACK I purchased 41 assorted fat quarters which came today. I am overwhelmed! I usually go to the fabric store and pick out fabric for a specific quilt - mostly traditional stuff. Well, here are all these fabrics, 1 fat quarter of each, and I haven't a clue. With all the quilts that I have...
