Uncles wife was Iris Aster Lobellia - she always looked embarressed
when she used her passport. I believe her sisters were Poppy, Rose and Pansy. I can remember being disappointed as a child that her brothers weren't called Oak and Ash, but George and Henry! Also used to know a family called Leafe who called their son Timothy.

They are nuts too!! How about people who name their
kids and dogs with the same middle initial "C", just because both parents have the same "C" in the middle. (The only DDIL has the "C" too ... she had a choice, but went with her Birth Name to keep with the "C" ... what a keeper!!)

[...] True confessions, last year my 8 year quilting obsession slipped back into a bit of a knitting obsession (I did knit first) but that didn't stop me from asking DH for a new sewing machine for Christmas. Yep, now I get to quilt on a brother PQ1500s! Hey, Loren! Congratulations on your new machine; that sounds great! Coincidentally, I've slipped back into lurking (off and on) and knitting as well, mostly scarves and hats and the odd fulled bag as yet. And dyeing. And spinning on a drop spindle, at least a little. It's easier to multi-task than quilting is for me right now. Quilting-wise, I lurked on RCTQ quite a while ago, then joined more actively around the time of the millennium square swap. I generally do/did machine work, though I might get back into felt hand applique' because it's easier on my eyes, and I still need to finish the baby quilt for the younger of my two DDs... preferably in time for her second birthday (ouch!) as it's coming up at the end of this month. My very dear DH and I have two feline QIs as well. I like batiks, I like strata, and I like having a workshop that's more organized than its current state! Re-organizing my web pages has been on the back burner as well, but I have three quilty projects -- the baby quilt, felt applique Santa pillow, and curvy quilt -- up he http://www.kcase.org/tmp/ Katrina in Seattle |

Sarah: Books are always appropriate. When we had
kidlets at home, I liked to keep a supply of books on hand for gifts. I bought books in or ahead of the ages of my boys. If we did not use for gift in a certain period, then I had a nice treat for my own family. Saved dashing out on a cold winter night! PAT in VA/USA Sarah Dixon wrote: I hope your Durham has got better weather than we have! We had a severe weather warning out last night, gales and pouring rain still going. I'm going to get soaked but we've got to go out as DS is going to a friends birthday party and I haven't got a present yet. Any idea what 2 yr old girls like? Sarah |

Am I the last one ?
My name is Heidi and I live in Germany, which you would have guessed from my signature and screen name g. I'm married, have 2 kids and one QI ( black lazy cat ) . I'm quilting since 1997 and soon found this newsgroup which helped me a lot since then. I machine piece, handquilt and just discovered the wonders of free motion machine quilting last year. I love simple patterns or traditional patterns and stars ... Heidi from Germany PS great idea, Wendy ! "frood" schrieb: As newbies come and introduce themselves, we all say "hi" back to them. But, while we learn a bit about them, they don't get to know us very easily. (ok, except for a few gabby folks.... ;-P ) So, as a start to a new year, I thought it would be fun to tell a bit about ourselves, and get to know each other. I'm sure the newbies aren't the only one trying to keep the players straight without a score card! Ok, here goes! I'm Wendy, posting as "frood". I live in Central NC, USA. I'm married to a fabulous man, and we have 5 kids, ranging from 13 to 4 yo twins, known online as Spike and Giles. I've been quilting for about 7 or 8 years, mostly machine piecing and machine quilting. I love bright colors, and I collect vintage textiles. http://quilt-hb.gmxhome.de/ mail: please remove quilt from address |

I'll piggyback this as I, too, missed the original post.
This is ME-Judy from Brunswick, ME! I'm 63, married for 36 yrs to DH Don, have 6 kids ranging from 40s on down to 20s. Was a Navy Wife till DH retired about 20 yrs ago and he then worked out at the base at the FSC. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon. Taught school in Bend, OR, and then taught for the Dept of Defense Overseas Dependent Schools in Okinawa, Japan. Been a lot of places in this world - and home is always best (regardless of where on the map it may be G). We have one QI - a beagle rescue named Gus. He's a love, but can be a bit of a "velcro hound" sometimes. I've been quilting for ages on and off. Now that all the kids are out on their own, I took over one bedroom for my sewing room. My DH chides me that I'm trying to "insulate the house with fabric" against the cold winters. G I keep thinking that I can complete a project from the stash - hasn't worked out that way yet! Have met some of the RCTQ'rs out in the Chicago area when visiting my SIL.... had a ball! (shop-hopping for fabric/patterns/notions unavailable up here). I LOVE "Press'N'Seal"!!! I love Stack-N-Whack quilts. I love finding shortcut ways to do things. I love country colors (especially blues and reds - not necessarily in the same project.) I'm not a huge fan of brights or purples. That's me! ME-Judy |

Hi All!
It took me a while to get with the program, but guess I'd better 'clude myself in this roll call! I'm an ex-Air Force wife, (widowed in '81) with three adult children: a son who lives in the same town as I; a son in Rome GA, and a daughter in Ashburton, Victoria, Australia. Regarding quilting: since I enjoy the process far more than the product, I begin many more projects than I complete--and usually don't worry about it; it's got to be fun or it isn't worth it(g). I have at least a dozen WIPs that I plan to complete this year -- so I can start others. I began lurking in the mid-90's on the AOL quilting and graduated to RCTQ--my first post here shows up in 1997. After my three children and five grandchildren, my passion is always four-legged and fuzzy; currently a beagle lap dog, but any canine or feline will do in a pinch; I like most animals better than most people--and I really like people too. I *love* traveling and meeting kindred spirits, reading mysteries, and retirement. Since I'm older'n dirt, I've been retired since 1992 and am enjoying every minute of it; there just aren't as many hours in a retirement day a regular work day(g) rusty in Rossville GA (and as you may have noted, brevity is not one of my strong points!) |
