Book bragging by
Marcella Peek
Hi! I was asked to write a glossary for a friend's latest quilting
book. The book is due out on April 12 but last night the publisher let
us know that they are going to also do an e-book download version that
is on sale starting today. So, I'm here to brag that I'm sort of
published :-)

HS Class by
LN \(remove NOSPAM\)
My dd is choosing classes for HS. She enters 9th grade next year (who knows
how THAT happened. She's only 3!). She asked me to help her look at the
different classes with her. They offer quilting as a class!!!!! She wasn't
interested tho. I guess she feels she can get that at home. But they...

I hope all our RCTQ members are high and dry. The Northeast has certainly
had some bad flooding. Have any of you seen it first hand?

Bernina cord question by
nana2b
Well, I have finally gotten to the point in the sewing room that the Bernina
200 is ready to rock. ONe small problem. I cannot find the power cord. I
do have one that I can use from the Bernina 153QE so it is not an emergency.
It just bugs me that I can't find it. I was so careful to pack...

4 needles in an hour.... by
Johanna Gibson
What am I doing wrong? I've broken 4 needles in the last hour.
These were size 80 Schmetz needles too! I'm sewing a polycotton duvet
cover, with polycotton thread, and the project is eating needles like
there is no tomorrow. I've had enough. Even reading contract law is
better than...

Longest Thread so far in 2006 by
~KK in BC~
Ok, so maybe I have too much time on my hands..?
I went looking into the archives and of course totally forgot what I went
looking for in the first place. I then noticed that there are some very
short threads and some that go on to great lengths!
Of all the ones I looked at from Jan 2006 to now,...

Pfaff machine by
Sunny[_2_]
Hi, I'm in a quandry and thought maybe one of you would know. I picked
up Mom's Pfaff 2124 and took it to the local Pfaff shop hoping they
would take it on consignment and sell it for me so I wouldn't have to
fly it back home with me. The woman there curtly informed me that it
was the worst machine...

Please report on the Long Beach show by
Susan Laity Price
Would someone who attended please report on the Long Beach show? Did
they work out the long lines which were a problem last year? Did
anyone notice The Quilt Merchant booth? It would have been all
reproduction fabrics.

Happy winter dance by
Denise Jameson in Ontario
Hi gang,
I've so much enjoyed reading all the posts about what we love/hate
about quilting. MY biggest love is to start a new project! I find it
very hard to resist doing this and must really hold back as I have
many UFO's already. Lately, however, I have been working on some
large UFO's and...

Winter Holiday Fabric Swap by
frood
Ok, now that the madness of Halloween is over at my house, I'm ready to
think about Winter holidays. I'm checking to see if there is any interest in
a fabric swap, either 10" (my preference) or FEs of non-religious
Winter-themed fabric. Santa or toy-related novelties would be acceptable. If
there...

OT - The thimble (joke) by
LN \(remove NOSPAM\)
One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her
thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and
asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?"
The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that
she needed it to help her husband...

Where did I put them? Or, the spirit is willing by
Diana Curtis
Last week the mail brought me the results of my very first swap, the
Christmas fabrics one hosted by Frood. This weekend I decided that they
should become a tradionally colored throw for the living room to use before,
during and after the holiday season. It would be a fast and easy tied...

Deciding on Quilt Size? by
dogmom
When you aren't sure of a specific purpose for a gift quilt, what determines
how big you make it? When it turns into an odd size do you just finish it or
do you try to make it a more useful size? One reason I like giving folks I
love quilts is that they're very practical gifts--but not if their...

Quilt week Day 3 Sunday by
maryd
An advantage to having DH out of town, I don't have as many distractions to
take me from my quilting. Today I finished piecing a mystery quilt and put
the border on. Tomorrow I hope to get a ride to town and get backing for
it. I got out some pre-quilted fabric that had been given to me. Cut it...

keeping the roll call by
Susan Laity Price
I have not found the time to right my own bio response but have
enjoyed reading everyone else's. I plan to keep all the responses in a
folder with the directory. Someone please remind me who started this
thread. I think they deserve a reward (soft of course).

Nikki's quilt finished! by

Nikki's purple plaid/denim quilt is finished. After sewing that
binding on for hours each day, you'd think I would remember to post
about it. I have to make a label, and I have to finish the 2 patching
pillows, but it is in fact done.
Her birthday is tomorrow, but she'll be away in Forfar to...

what to do with fabric that feels like crap by
Medium Gnome
Somehow quilting fabric that feels like crap sneaks its way into our stashes
occasionally and stays for a very long time.
What do you all do with it after you've decided not to use it in a quilt?
