And my mom really does exist... Thanks for making me feel welcome to
your wonderful group..


Your sarcasm says a lot about your maturity. This is a very warm, caring,
NON-flaming group, and you'd do well to start over, with an apology for the
tirade, and an earnest discussion of your problems or whatever went on. I
didn't get any of the messages till your tirade. I'm sure you're NOT exactly
making your mom proud of you with this behaviour.

I know what it's like to be working and going to shool at the same time.
Overwhelming. So much so that I don't really have time to *read* all
these posts, much less write them.
From what I have read it seems like there is some communication barrier
here. I hate to be the first to throw out the t-word, but it could be.


Back to quilting: I just found a black (who knew it would be so
difficult?) that is of the right scale and nature to compliment my
sister's lap quilt-to-be. Everything else is a mid-size floraly print so
I couldn't really use plain black! Now I've had enough time shopping
that I'm not sure I want to complete the blocks I'd planned, this
month's quilt in my year-of-quilting calendar looks really appetizing!

Erica is graduating from the University of Colorado
GO BUFFS!
next May so knowing my speed I've got to get a move-on now! She loves
yellow so using the school colors (yellow and black) was a no-brainer.
I'm not as big a fan of it, and I didn't want the quilt to be too garish
to use, so I found a lovely print that uses red, orange, yellow and
black in an asian looking crysthanthemum. It's hard to describe, but
very classy. All I need is the right block and this quilt will be almost
as incredible as the intended recipient.

to click a button that says terms of agreement.. that means the rules
that comply with the web hosting company.. Your provider here would be
Google. Googles rules state that you MUST not spam MAIL everyone which
I did not do. I posted a post... where you can open it at your own
free will correct? No one forces you to click the mouse to read. As
far as soliciting, if I was soliciting, I would have come on here and
had speech prepared about the great new vacuum cleaner I could sell
you. I was offering a trade. One of your members.. who YES posts quite
frequently, but has yet to post any comments to this post log at all,
linked me to your site. I watch her sitting back being quite and I
dont even know the lady only her name. Yet you all respond frequently
to hers.. Who could it be? Maybe your terms and guidelines should be
more clear or you should have a mail sent out to new members about
what they can and cant do. I read nothing or saw nothing OTHER than
googles terms.

I wasnt asking for money.. I was stating, if anyone would like a quilt
block... maybe to help complete a quilt.. or for new flavor.. or
anything... OR if you could offer a kind word, gesture.. anything a
prayer.. that would be appreciated... but those words were over-looked
and I was shot down into the water.

I have gotten many great emails up until I got a nice letter from
CNYstitcher saying that I was an ignorant snotty little bitch last
night. Of course when words are thrown at me I will throw them back. I
didnt deserve them. Maybe I wasnt supposed to post here in the first
place.. or maybe I shouldnt have come here... but there could have
been better ways to approach the situation.... Like maybe Hi cheyne...
thanks for finding our site, although we would like for you to
continue posting here, we really cant offering anything to you, and we
ask that your posts not be asking for donations..
Was that hard.... did I get that?? or any decency? No... I was offered
the first post back... You would be trying to fool us now Cheyne would
you?? Or... sounds like a bunch of bULLOney to me... How can anyone
every feel welcomed in your group if thats how you treat them? With
disrespect... and then I offer some words to try and explain myself...
I dont know what else to do to proove myself... medical bills what???
No one still says you cant post this here... they tell me I am a liar,
trying to cheat someone... that I am ignorant.. that I am no child...
that I should give up school... get a second job... live at home...
dont make anything of myself... have you read this from beginning to
END???

IT ISNT until last night that someone finally said... hey... you know
what.... you shouldnt have posted this here... maybe trying to be
friendly... I give you credit for that.. Nice way to try and rectify
the situation but by then, blows had already been thrown... people
were already upset and my heart was still broken. You havent tried to
make me feel welcome... If anything I feel worse leaving this site
then when I got here. I ahve recieved a few wonderful emails that I
hold dear to me... But no one tried to step back for just ONE second
and see me... desperate looking for anything to help... I didnt shoot
your ideas down... I have kept a log book of everything.. but do
understand.. if a person is this desperate and offering to sell
everything they own just to see someones life better...they have
already probably tried to common answers like exercising. I am at a
loss for words.. I have been made to feel like the bad guy and I am
not... I just wanted to help my mom. I dont have much to hold onto and
I reahed for a group who I thought would help me... and let me cry on
their shoulder ... but I couldnt get that so I sit in my apartment
alone and devastated.. with no one..

I want to apologize to those people who had great things to say to me
via email.. and I want to apologize to those people who had to read my
post and were offended.. I will even apologize to those people who had
to read my last few angry letters... but I WILL not apologize to those
people who disrespected me, cut me down... or did anything but MAKE me
feel unwelcomed.. I dont appreciate getting emails from people who
dont have anything positive to say... and I especially like someone
coming back here and stating that I emailed her telling that her that
I held her blame for everything started here.. I wrote her back and
tried to remain calm.. but wrote the nasty things people had said to
me.. and asked her if that is how she would want to be treated.. She
totally changed the situation and believes calling me ignarant will
make her a better person... I'm glad you believe I had been very
gently treated here.. but that is far from the truth.. Peoples ugly
sides shown my direction and if you are threatening me as to removing
my name, whats the worst that could be done to me??? This group
already threw stones... you want to hurt me more??? gently is a term I
wouldnt use, I havent been fed any silver spoons, and after this
experience I dont know why anyone would want to be here and chance
themselves to this kind of experience where they fear someone will
talk bad about them in front of everyone else......

Thanks for the welcome.. Thanks for making me feel "good" about
myself... thanks for the help with my mother, the few who actually did
send a donation and offered prayers... God bless you.. Thank you so
much... :*(

Selling and Buying in RCTQ

It's an agreed-upon ground rule of R.C.T.Q. that we don't sell things to
(or buy them from) one another through the medium of the newsgroup. The
newsgroups rec.crafts.marketplace and rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace
are set up for these For Sale announcements. However, many of the
newbies here (and some of the oldbies) may not know about the Quilting
Traders Newsletter. This is available only online. To be added to the
mailing list, send an e-mail message to . Dawn very
generously compiles buy/sell/trade 'ads' and sends them out to QTN
subscribers. (She said I could tell you all about this!) I suggest (I
speak from experience) subscribing for a couple of issues before you
take the plunge and place an ad.

http://scican2.scican.net/haxton//RCTQ/FAQ/selling.htm


Perhaps, if you read all of these, you will get your definitive answer
on what you are doing. I said you were acting like a snotty, ignorant
child because you were shooting down every possibiltity that people, lke
me, who approached your post with a good heart, were being shot down. A
person who really wanted help, would have simply said a gracious thank
you and wouldn't have shot down everything.

I responded to like words from this troll when I said these things.

And I certainly do wish that she would either stop lying about getting
this group from a frequent poster, or that she and the poster would fess
up. ANY regular member here knows the rules and guidelines by
now......or is this person ashamed that they encouraged this behavior
from an unknown?

In a direct email from this person, I got blamed for all of the
following quotes:

So, all of you other rctqrs who have said any of the above things (and
I'm not researchingthourh google to find them), rest assured, this
"child" as she calls herself has decided that she will presonally email
me and attack me for everything negative that has been said

Also, when she says: "No one still says you cant post this here..."

Is it just me, or did nearly every one of the initial responses to her
1st post have this in them in some form or another??

I know, I know, responding to my own post.

She's a geology major. What do you all think of "Fractured Crystals"?
Think I can do it? Google hits indicate it's intermediate/advanced.
Think it will work up ok in buttery yellow, black, and two accent
flowerish related prints?
