Welcome to RCTQ, a usenet discussion group of
quilters. We want to read all about your quilting activites, and
welcome questions. We may even come up with some helpful answers!
But we do have a few requests, to keep this NG moving along. We
ask that you do not post pictures here, but we love to click on links to
see
your quilts
elsewhere. Please, no advertising .rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace is the
appropriate place for ads.

Do your best to remember to put OT in the
subject line of off topic posts. Try to remember to trim the original post
to the most relevant bits. This is a short overview of the ettiquette of
this group, for a more detailed version please go to:
http://scican2.scican.net/haxton/RCTQ/FAQ/index.htm




What is a Hug, and how do I contribute?
Hugs are quilts made by this group to help someone through a life altering
event, and let them know how much we care. Karen, Queen of Squishies,
maintains a Hug list. When a Hug quilt is needed someone will contact
Karen,
and she in turn sends an email to
everyone on the Hug List with instructions and color preferences, date
due,
and the reason for the Hug. Its always your choice to participate or not.
Hugs can be made without going through Karen and the list as well. Anyone
is
welcome to start a Hug,
when they feel the need is enough. A very touching explanation of Hugs
will
follow in post in this thread.

What is a Squishie?
A squishie is an envelope that comes to you, thats slightly fat and
squishie. It can be a bit of fabric someone knows you'll love, or a
birthday
surprise, the main thing is that when a squishie comes in the mail it
makes
you feel like smiling. The same thing happens when you send them out,
oddly
enough! When thanking someone for a squishie please try to contact them
privately, off the list. If you arent able to most of us don't mind
sharing
in the joy of a public thank you. A follow up post with a more eloquent
explanation will follow this post.



What is a Thunkie?
Its similar to a squishie but it can thunk instead of squish and hold
interesting things related to quilting, like chocolate or special things
we
quilters find indespensible for quilting.


What are all those abbreviations?
LQS Local quilt store
TSWLTH The store we love to hate aka Joann fabrics.
DH, DS, DD, DSM Dear Husband (or dratted, danged etc.) Dear Son or Dear
Sister, Dear Daughter, Dear Sweet Mother.
S.E.X. we use this manner of spelling to discourage trolls from seeing
it...
it means Stash Enhancement eXpedition or fabric shopping!

What is the Directory or how do I get someone's address?
A directory of everyone who chooses to be in it is updated two times a
year. Watch the newsgroup for posting about the next update. Only people
who
are listed in the directory are allowed to have it. No one is allowed to
give the information in the directory out to anyone who isnt in it. Not
everyone chooses to be in the directory, so how do you get someone's
address? Ask them for it. Its ok, it wont spoil the surprise if you wait
till they forget you asked. Or, ask someone else to ask the person if its
ok
to share their address with you. Be sneaky. Its ok.

Trolls and flame wars... what are they and what can be done about them?
Trolls come to groups to try to stir up trouble. The best advice is
ignore them. Its fun to poke at them or treat them as legitimate posters
but
they thrive on attention.
Flame wars are discussions that get out of control and angry words
are hurled about with abandon. Its easy to get caught up in the heat and
say
things that are regretted later. We all have bad days. All of our words
are
open to interpetation, lets all try to give people the benefit of the
doubt
and believe the best of them and their posts.

How do I find an old post?
Go to

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...roup=rec.craft
s
.textiles.quilting or use http://tinyurl.com/rab3 , thats the url made
easier,.and use the search option, remembering to use the "look in this
group only" function. If you still cant find the information youre looking
for then feel free to ask the group.



Please take the time to read the followup posts in this thread. Some of
the
most touching tributes to this group and the love we generate is there for
you to savor. Good info on picking out a good sewing machine will be found
there too.

You mean Vickie Y. has all our time?

Dee in LeRoy, NY where I am quilting...even though it looks like I'm just
sitting at the 'puter
