Thank you (all) for posting this valuable information.
I am chucking to myself right now as I looked over the charter information. After so many years actively working (in the early years) to get things moving I have set back and let all the changes go by me. For the last several years I haven't even thought of the process of setting up listservs or ng's, that is until this last day or so. I am amused with myself on just how quickly I have forgotten all that went into the process. It is good to know that I come by my retirement from the formation processes honestly and can enjoy the fruits of the labor. Even though we keep an active server going all the time with a 1/4th bandwidth T1 line, I rarely even tinker with it any longer. It runs itself with only occasional maintenance. (That was the maintenance that kept me pretty busy the last couple weeks). Though it does seem for the most part the only thing (DH excluded) that pull me away from my quilting is the computers that still come in via friends and family to be overhauled. The compiling of information any more takes to much brain power. . thanks again juliasb For me letting others take the reigns and plunge forward is great, it has provided me the best opportunity of all. Now I have all the time I want to quilt and quilt and quilt...

It really doesn't matter what people said to you off the group - that's quite irrelevant to my point. You made an error and trod on peoples toes. You compounded the error with attempts to tell us we were wrong, and we are not. The charter forbids advertising IN ANY FORM, and offering thing for sale (that is, in exchange for money) is advertising. clipped gently Kate what charter? Like I said earlier I have may not have the same information on ng's as others. It would be nice that I am not totally losing my mind. ???? thanks juliasb Certain hierarchies in the usenet require that a charter be written for any newsgroup that requests to be added to that heirarchy. There are probably some groups that grandfathered out of that, but even there most of those have been renamed and probably chartered in the process. The rec heirarchy requires that newsgroups be chartered at their formation, and did so in 1993 when this group was organized. Ergo there is a charter, it was posted in another thread: NAME: rec.crafts.textiles.quilting REPLACES: rec.crafts.quilting CHARTER: [unchanged] This newsgroup is for discussing anything related to quilting. That includes piecing, applique, and tyeing and quilting by hand or machine. Discussions may cover techniques, supplies,equipment, drafting of patterns, templates, dyeing materials, artistic approaches, exhibitions, shows, books and other references, mail order resources, dating quilts and appraising quilts. Discussions may include quilts and quilting both past (historical quilting) and present, ethnic quilting, quilts to be used in a home, quilted clothing to be worn, as well as quilts created for display and any other piecing or quilting applications Obviously (to me) written with just getting the group going in mind, and counting on people behaving in a civilized fashion. How optimistic of the author. NightMist |

I for one am one of those who's health and medications have dictated
my weight. STEROIDS. Can't live with them and can't live without them. Since there is no hope of ever being off them there is even less hope of weight loss. sigh. So I quilt instead of being to concerned about it anymore. Quilting is much more fun. juliasb Dr. Quilter wrote: In our weekly lab meeting we have now this thing that is called 'out of the box', when each member of the lab in turn is required to come up wiht a subject of discussion that is not related to our work. Some subject have been interesting and led to lively discussions, others have tanked. One of the most succesful ones was 'obesity'. And while a lot of people seem to think that fat people are all lacking in will and self restraint, a small percentage of them do have serious health problems that are the CAUSE of their obesity, not only consequences of it. For that small percentage, diet and exercise, though they can never be bad for you unless you go to extremes, don't really help, and more drastic measures might be required. gently snipped .... |

Interesting thoughts Jeanne,
There is a lady whose wonderful quilting includes the kind of thing you described. Her name is Dilys Fronks. I think she probably has a website? You, of all people, will find it if there is one!! Her wrought iron quilts are world famous, and she has written at least one book about them. She makes black, 'wrought iron' patterns in black just as you describe. She started with single pieces of floral fabric; now she makes pieced backgrounds. So, either will work; whatever you decide to do will be fine. Seams in the background are completely ignored!! They are there , or not, as the black design goes. I'm sure you will love the effect. And you will probably enjoy the actual doing - even if it might get a bit fiddly. Do a little baby one first, perhaps? just to try. Seams underneath won't make a big difference, because you can just 'catch' the top layer of the underneath fabric. Have fun! .. In article , nzl* writes eh? me too subtle for you? well that must change immediately. now then what can i do to change from being subtle. ya know i'm fresh outta ideas today however i'd gladly accept any from one and all and they'll not cost ya to send'em in. in the meantime i've been mulling over doing a sorta stained glass hawaiian type block. i'm thinking...make a 14inch qst in two colours. then sew a big piece of black over the front but just round the edges for stabilizing the whole thing. then draw designs on the black, snip out the middle pieces and reverse applique that black outta the way so the colours show thru. geez, i hope thats clearly subtle enough or subltly clear enough even. with the quarters in two colours opposite one another... do i do two different designs as well or just the same in all quadrants. decisions, decisions. another thot i had was to start sewing all my lovely scraps from all round the rctq world and then with black over them just randomly reverse applique some design as the mood takes me. oh must be careful i dont have seams showing thru, that would look so tacky. all your thoughts would be much appreciated. did i not consider some essential ingredient? you got some other ideas re similar project? come on folks put yer thunking (sic) caps on please. hugz to the bestest ng in the world. jeanne* -- Best Regards pat on the hill |

Tell me about it! My attendance record at school was around just over 3/4 because one week a month I would be in so much pain I would be in bed! My mum took me to the doc eventually when I just passed out from the pain once and he put me on the pill at 14! Everything was good, my attendance was almost perfect! My dosage was upped to a different one two months ago because the pain came back a bit and now I@m going to try an almost dairy free diet (except for cream, and I won't go out of my way to not eat things like cakes or milk in my tea!). Oooh, Kate, if you have any great dairy free recipes that you're willing to share and don't take a lot of typing I'd love to have them - I'm compiling myself a cook book. I loved your soup idea of getting the spoon to stand up, I tried it with leek and potato and it was wonderful! BF loved it! Charlie. Ha! Boarding school did NOT up my attendance in this respect! I was eventually put on the pill because it was affecting my A level studies. These days I have a plastic insert that released progesterone in the one spot: lasts for 5 years. It hasn't cured it, BUT I no longer have 9 day wonders, floods and throwing up/fainting/dizzy spells, etc, and my temper is better (except this week, when I blame the weather!). I have about 200 cookbooks - there MUST be a dairy free recipe or two in there! Would you like meaty ones, veggie ones, puddings? Let me know, and I'll scan a few in and get DH to convert them to text files so they take up less space. -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

I did get an offer of a lesbian slave, but she wasn't very decorative, so I didn't bother... I think a Russian bride might be a little more respectable, don't you?

EVERY woman needs a WIFE, to do for us the kinds of things we do for our husbands. If she actually shows up, keep her!!!
