About Us
While googling trying to learn more about our Mesue (wish I had a chance to
get to know her), I came across a thread from 2000 in which RCTQ'ers introduced themselves in detail. I've come on board since then (September of '02), and I'm sure many others have too. Might be worth doing again for the sake of those who are a bit newer. I'll go first, in the hope that some of you will follow suit. Blessings Renee ------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Renee Clark Home: Tancook Island, Nova Scotia, Canada Occupation: Baptist minister Age: 26 Past Lives:university student with some odd summer jobs, including frozen novelties distributor (Dickie Dee biker!), special needs inclusion worker, alzheimer's support, retail... Anything to pay for that English Lit degree! Anthing more to pay for the Masters! Family: Single. Mom's about 5 hours from here, Dad died this past February. DSis and BIL (and DNephew, age 12), B and SisIL and all the respective QI's. Food:Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Also Pepsi, vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, and turkey dinner - but not all at once. QI's: Paisley (9 y.o. terrier mix), Simon and Sonny (1 y.o brother cats), Mr. Fish (as the name implies!). Machine(s): Kenmore bare-bones basic, a floor model I bought about 7 years ago. No bells or whistles, but a good workhorse. Tempted by a serger, but haven't bitten yet. Quilting For: About 3 years. I took a class at the local fabric store because they had a kittycat quilt on display... and caught quilt disease. Quilt Assembly Preference: rotary cut (if it can't be rotary cut, I ain't interested! LOL!), machine pieced, then either machine QITD, or sent out to be hand-quilted. Haven't mastered FMQ. Quilt Style Preference: ABA - anything but APPLIQUE! Colour Preference:rose, green, cream, Thimbleberries prints Skill level: I call myself an 'advanced beginner'. Posting/Reading frequency: Read almost daily, post roughly weekly. Interests other than quilting/fabric fondling/S.E.X.: Reading (magazines, novels, mystery, how-to), animal rescue, cross-stitch, tole painting, Celtic music, digital photography, exploring little side-roads, spending time with friends, bargain-hunting. Pet Peeves: Laws that are soft on those who mistreat children and animals - we have to have a license to drive a car and a permit to build a shed in the backyard, but anyone who is biologically able can have a child and anyone with a few dollars can walk out of a pet store with an animal. Oh, and there are also those people who chatter away in the movie theatre and sneak through the express checkout with more than 10 items. But it's the creeps who hurt their children and pets that really get me. TV Shows: ER, 7th Heaven, Sugar, old reruns of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and 80's sitcoms. Drive A: 1994 Eagle Summit Wagon (a mini-mini-van!) Favorite Quote:"If I can stop one heart from breaking / I shall not live in vain. / If I can ease one life the aching / Or cool one pain / Or help one fainting robin / Unto his nest again, / I shall not live in vain." - Emily Dickinson |
