Well, even if it didn't amuse Diana, it sure amused me. I scared my
officemates, LOL. Thanks Wendy. I needed a chuckle. That's the most unique party-coverup-story I've ever heard. frood wrote: Oh, my, does that combo bring back memories of a funny story! This ought to amuse you, Diana. Just don't tell my mom the real truth, ok? While I was in high school, my parents decided that I was old enough to stay home by myself, while they went on vacation. So, being an intelligent girl, what did I do? I threw a party, of course! My parent's had recently re-decorated the living room, with sea-foam green carpet. My mother was so proud of that carpet. Well, over the course of the party, someone (I'll not name her here - this is archived forever, after all!) spilled a large glass of Hawaiian Punch. I threw some baking soda on the spill, and decided to think about it the next day. The next morning, I looked at the spill, and man, was it bad! Off to the store for carpet cleaner. Then more carpet cleaner. Consulted every Hints from Heloise book the library had in stock. It was still pink. Mom and Dad come home. Notice the carpet right away. "oh, the poor dog!" I said. "he got into the big dog's food, ate it all and moaned and groaned, I thought he was going to die! So, I gave him some pepto bismol. Then he threw up! I cleaned it as best as I could, but I'm sorry, I couldn't get the stain out!" Since the poor dog in question couldn't defend himself, and was, in fact, prone to eating the big dog's food, then moaning for hours afterwards, and since there was no other evidence to suggest something else had happened, my parent's had no choice but to take my word for it. I did make sure the dog got as many doggie treats as I could afford for the rest of his life. To this day, my mother has no idea of the real story. This even came up this past Christmas! My mother *knows* something else happened, but has no evidence! Well, until I published it here on the internet that is! -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ...

m... I can't remember how I found the group, my DH probably did for me, but it was in 1999, I think! Wait, DD#2 was born in '97, so it must have been then, cuz I was working on some quilts at the time and I remember asking questions about thread basting. What I learned: don't try to thread-baste a quilt on the floor while 8 months pregnant. :-) Why I stay? That's easy - everybody is so great here! I have a large number of quilting friends (even if I haven't met most of them in person), a support group of experienced quilters to ask questions of, and a place to get a laugh or a hug whenever I need it. I used to be a weaver - I've always done some hand work or other - and I used to sew clothes. I wove baby blankets for DD#1 and DS, as well as a couple of nieces. But with kids, I couldn't set up my loom anymore. For a long time, DD#1 had her crib in my weaving room! Once she started crawling, it had to be put away. I took up sewing again, making baby clothes. DS's blanket was woven at a community center - another thing not to do while 8 months pregnant! DH asked me what I was going to do for DD#2's blanket. I dunno what happened, I just decided to make a quilt. I can sew, right? How hard can it be? And my best friend was having a baby, too, so I wanted to make a quilt for her baby. Then, of course, DS would need one for his big boy bed, since he was getting booted out of the crib. By that time I was well and truely hooked! It didn't hurt that the lady who sold me weaving supplies had diverged her business (they sold knitting supplies, finished pottery and finished quilts) into just quilting supplies, and some finished pottery, too. Her partner took over the yarn part of hte business. How great was that? A LQS owner I knew! She's a great lady, too! For the future, I want to improve my skills, yadda yadda... I also want to make more quilts for my home, as wall hangings, and for more beds - not every bed has a quilt yet. And, I really want to teach a class on some aspect of quilting, and I'm working on that goal now! :-) -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ...

Here's my short story of how it all began per your request :^) I started quilting in 1989 after getting a quilting catalog in the mail. Got my curiosity so I ordered a quilt kit. Not feeling all that sure in selecting fabrics much less a pattern it was easy to let someone else pick out the fabrics for the design I liked. I'm self taught since where we used to live it took an hour to get to town and all the guilds met in the evenings. Night driving is not my cup o' tea. But I discovered all the fun books, patterns & gadgets that all work together. Since then I've made probably at least a dozen quilts. I've learned to enjoy working with triangles, green fabric & will master applique if it kills me g I found r.c.t.q. way back in 1994 (!). DH (then boyfriend) had just purchased a computer & he had run across the newsgroups so he subscribed me to rctq. I lurked for awhile, then hopped in (after The Great Flame War was over g)- and have participated in the goings on like block/fq/siggy swaps & HUGs (first one was Ruth's HUG) and have been in on many HUG's thereafter.

I have laughed & cried with you all. If you ever get a chance to meet an rctq'er, do it! It is even more fun when you gather in groups!

Thank you for the story, and for the get well wishes. I have enjoyed every
tale from the shortest and simplest to the long and involved and marveled at the different ways people have become involved in quilting, and the reasons they stay with it. Seems a fair number of us are admitting that our significant others/future husbands, and family techie geeks got us hooked up with RCTQ. Thats ok. We got here. We made it our own. Thanks HoBo!!!

Oh, geez, you brought back some memories.... Do you (anybody?) remember
FidoNet? That's where I got my start on what was to become the Internet. The town where I live got a federal grant to help answer the question..... "how would (actually "would") a global computer hookup affect 'small town' U.S.A." The head of the project was installing computers at the local library and saw me going through census microfilms doing some genealogy research. That was back in, ummmmm, mid?-late 80s. We didn't even have a modem on our home computer. He told me I was using the "wrong" machine - and would I be interested in being a guinea pig for his project and searching for genealogy and other things on the NEW world-wide-web. Ooooh that was a life changing decision for me! Couldn't wait for us to get a modem at home instead of downloading everything on disk at the library and taking it home to read it G Just shows how much time has changed things, huh? My grandma taught me to both hand stitch & do embroidery, where the back MUST look as good as the front, or you dang well undid it and did it over! She also would draw a line/curve on an old piece of used stationery (recycling back in the 40s) and have me (using the old treadle with an OLD needle and NO thread or bobbin) try to sew on the line. She figured if I could do that, then I'd be able to sew something "for real" when I got a little older. She also had a big basket of scraps that I played with. Well, I learned to sew clothes for my doll and such. Then, when I was 7th grade, made some of my own clothes. My first real quilt didn't happen till the early 60s in college when my roommate and I decided to re-decorate our dorm room. We made simple alternating squares (print & solids) in those 60s greens G. I still have the quilt, BTW. Jump a few years - got interested in "the web", got a new computer (with a modem, yet.) Went searching for 1. genealogy leads, and 2. quilting. Found RCQ(?) just before it became RCTQ and have been hooked ever since. I lurk mostly. But I love to see the variety of ideas, questions, LINKS! Anything and everything between a group of cyber-friends. Gals (and guys) that you trade ideas with that you may never meet in real life, but that affect the way you look at things. Fantastic group! Glad I found you. ME-Judy "taria" wrote in message ... It has been a good while but I would assume DH sat me down and suggested it might be something I would enjoy. I remember many years ago being on Prodigy (gosh I think that was one of the early ones) and there was a quilting group. They changed over to charging by the time you were on instead of a monthly charge and we dropped them. Were any of you there in earlier years? I'll never forget a woman posting that a policeman had come to her door to tell her that her son had died. It had just happened minutes before and she turned to the group to talk. I can't remember her name or anything else but that will forever stick in my mind. How we got here might be different for many of us but why we stay is probably similar.

I haven't been spending too much time online in the past few days -
getting psyched up for my 2nd chemo. So I've missed this long, but interesting I'm sure, thread. Not sure If I'll ever be able to wade through the whole thing, though I've "browsed" some of the answers here and there. I began quilting in early 2001. May I think. I hadn't sewn much since my home ec class in middle school, and before that just a bit with my mom. But I always loved crafting of almost any kind. Anyway, my dad had passed away in 2000 and I had gotten the idea of making some memory quilts in his honor to give to my siblings (incidentally, to date, I'm the only sibling that doesn't have one -- yet). I saw something like that in a catalog and loved the idea of it. I just love the soft and tactile aspect of the fabrics mixed with the warm memories from treasured photos. Anyway, I was talking about it with a friend, and she mentioned that she had started quilting with another friend in the past months and they were taking some classes at a LQS. She asked if I would like to take a class, but I couldn't commit to an evening class because of our schedule with kids baseball and scouts and etc. And the daytime classes were out of the question anyway because we both work. But I asked her tons of questions and went with her to the LQS and bought a book or two and ordered some fabric and a new sewing machine online and plunged right in. And I haven't had a break ever since. I like to make small quilted projects as gifts, and thus I mostly like to stick with simple patterns. Someday I hope to make a project just for me, and I would really like to tackle a Lone Star and also make a queen bed-size Irish Chain. But, those are "stretch goals" for me. Mostly I like to make memory quilts, WH's, baby quilts, doll quilts, snuggle/lap quilts. And my new favorite short project - tote bags! I found rctq because my friend had been lurking for a while, and was always talking about hints and stuff she found here. I subscribed and lurked just a bit before jumping right in! I really enjoyed that this was such a warm and welcoming place. And I got a LOT of help. So, even when the group seems to go through a "quilting lull" (where there seems to be more OT posts and rants going than talking about quilting) I stick it out and wait for someone to post a quilting question or tip, or even better - pictures of projects -- my VERY FAVORITE reason to stick around in rctq! They are so inspiriational! Whew! Ann Diana Curtis wrote: Im recovering well... certain things coming in the mail keep my spirits up, thank you muchly! But the days linger long sometimes.
