I, for one, thank you for volunteering : ) At least you got a few others
interested : )

Actually Jennifer, you've prolly hit the nail on the head. Read the
thread,
a lot of people want to contribute but no-one wants to actually "do" it.
I
offered to do it in word format - easy for me to copy and paste and format
and send out, easy to read, pictures can be included. However since I
stepped up a lot of people have decided that PDF, ASCII text whatever is
much better, so I'm hereby resigning my post. I'm not computer literate
enough to even know what those things are let alone how to use 'em!

I haven't read the entire thread yet, so maybe this has been mentioned
already. One thing my MIL does at holidays is print out recipe cards on
her
PC - she selects a few recipes she has enjoyed over the year, makes a
cute
little card, either with stickers or clipart, and gives them out to us.
I
have a little photo album I keep them in, along with a few from my
family.

It might be fun to start a group which swaps these cards.

All this talk about Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Julia's post about her
cheesecake recipe got me to thinking. This may have been brought up at
some
time or other, I don't know. But I'll bring it up again. Has anyone
ever
collected recipes from RCTQ and put them together into a recipe book
and
then distributed to the participants? I think it would be so much fun
to
collect recipes from quilters around the world and put them together
with
little anecdotes from each person. Would anyone be interested in
participating?

[Word vs ASCII for recipes]
Fine, you take it over! I'm no computer wizz, and word is simplest to me.
I've never had a problem receiving or reading the directory in word format.
If you can do it better, then by all means you are welcome to it.

It wouldn't take long to simply google for every post in the group
containing the word "recipe", string them together, tidy the layout
a bit in the most low-tech way possible, and plonk it on our website.
Would that be enough to be going on with?

How unfortunate Sharon, as Word is the only thing that I understand,
must be the trouble with learning computer programs at Victorian
schools. I am too old to start to learn something else now.

Okay, lissen up who'all suggested this. I'm happy to help organise it.
Perhaps if I do the Oz/NZ/Metric ones and someone else take over the
non-metric. And to make it easier, perhaps we include a page of metric
to non-metric conversions rather than changing each recipe. Then we get
together once we have received all the recipes (cyberlly speaking) join
the two docs together (we're doing it in MS Word right?) and email to
whoever wants it.

If you want to do it in word, I can convert to fixed width ASCII of whatever
it is or PDF. Just say the word!

LOL Dee! I remember what a fuss I kicked up at my first job when they told
me I'd be switching to Windows and Word from WordPerfect 5.1 and DOS -
Jeepers I had the Computer Techy worried. But really though - the directory
gets sent out in word format so what's the big deal?

I know I am jumping in the middle of this topic, but if I can offer my web
space, I'd be glad to do a site with all the recipes and tips categorized by
type of recipe. That way, there is no paper involved. Everything can be
sent electronically, including pictures or other graphics if you wanted to
provide them and everyone would be able to read and print them so that we
don't have to worry about format. Unless the idea was to publish a
book........

Howdy!
Thanks, Alice.
I think this is the best idea, a web site to go to
when we're starving for something special.
Otherwise, all this talk of which format, metric or American g,
deadlines, this and that-- takes most of the fun out of what sounded like
a great idea, sharing recipes. Nothing like over-organizing to do that.

Susan Ford (in Oklahoma) used to have our RCTQ recipes on
her website; worked great. The addy was available upon request and
via archives (like GoogleRCTQ), like the FAQs.

Do you have the time and will power to keep up w/ this?
It would be most appreciated. I'll even dedicate one of these
freshly-made Hershey's Chewy Chocolate Cookies to you, Alice.
Hey, what are friends for?!? G
