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. And maybe even an instigator of at least one or two. :-) I've stayed because of the friendships of those I've met & those that I haven't met personally, even when they have sent me green fabric ;^) the swaps, silliness & fun that the group has offered over the years. 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! You'll discover all sorts of things, like there ARE quilt police.... they just reside in Burbank g (I'll have to get that picture posted one of these days) Or that fabric CAN be stored in the refrigerator, isn't that right Butterfly??! If I can only find more 'spare' time (and a cooler sewing room) I can do more quilting & other crafty things that I like to do. Along with getting back onto the ng. Back to my little corner of lurkdom.....for now g Hope you are feeling better soon!

Mind Boggling? To say the least. I just love to casually say in a
conversation: 'oh, I got that piece from my friend in Australia' ..... 'hey, here is a great stamp from England' ...... that sort of thing. This is a fun thread. I really enjoyed reading Judy's 'Early Net History.' Now I can say 'my friend the internet pioneer.' LOL PAT Diana Curtis wrote: This is so interesting. I had no idea how or when the net really started.... To think, without the net this rather wonderful congregation couldnt exist, and none of us might know one another... its mind boggling. Thank you for sharing your very interesting story Judy! |

Im glad you added your story to this thread.
And Im so glad you found your way here to rctq! Good luck on your chemo! hugs, Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Ann Adamson" wrote in message ... 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.

Howdy!
(some copy&pasting may be necessary; beg pardon! this looks right on my screen g) Must be the longest THREAD on a subject Ever! ;-D My family's always been "in cotton." From my grandparents on Mom's side who were cotton dusters, gloves and tack cloths, http://www.theragcompany.com/ to my dad's people, industrial mops and floor rugs. http://lcweb2.loc.gov/award/ndfa/ndf...c200/c226r.jpg We evolved into at least 5 generations of quilters in my family, I've been quilting since I was a kid, a mere moplet; here's a typical home scene: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/award/ndfa/ndf...c100/c192r.jpg Our family song: *warning: music plays* http://louiseward20.tripod.com/ragmop/ragmop.html R I say R-A R-A-G R-A-G-G R-A-G-G M-O-P-P: Rag Mop So quilting was kind of in my fiber, you see; I've always handcrafted & quilted: http://home.att.net/~ellison-texas/w...ome.html-.html Thru' some very vigorous shaking, I ended up here at RCTQ. It definitely was not because my husband, RagMan; I introduced him to newsgroups and talking on-line . (What was I thinking?!) Good ol' RCTQ-- friendly faces and friendly fire, good ideas on and off topic, why go anywhere else?! What made me stay? Wellllll, this Quilting Party that Sarah threw made a big impression: "The door is always open and everyone is welcome" at Sarah's; http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?10008820+X-8820 "Come one, come all, she said; we're gonna' have a Quilting Party; I don't care how you get here; just get here!" Here's Joan, tucked in and waving goodbye: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?10062917+X-62917 LN and Kris and Pat traveled together, picking up Susan & Marcella, and a few others along the way: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?00170155+P-155 Linda and the Gang wanted to bring their own stuff: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/award/ndfa/ndf...c100/c140r.jpg Some of the party-goers took a little side trip on the way: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/award/ndfa/ndf...c100/c189r.jpg We had Nurses on call: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?10012150+X-12150 http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?10011879+X-11879 Sarah's planning committee met us when we arrived: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/award/ndfa/ndf...c100/c102r.jpg and she reminded us that she has a Stash Guard: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/award/ndfa/ndf...c100/c109r.jpg But I wasn't skeert: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?10022137+X-22137 We got a tour of the premises to inspire us: http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?10013332+X-13332 http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?10017869+X-17869 http://photoswest.org/cgi-bin/imager?10031433+X-31433 There was space set aside for smokers: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/award/ndfa/ndf...c100/c130r.jpg as well as other amenities: http://www.moore-warner.com/coups/coup012.gif Men and children went out to pick cotton for the batting: http://www.kountrylife.com/content/vin70.htm Polly gave a demonstration of how to prepare fthe cotton for batting, carding w/ deftness and speed: http://memory.loc.gov/pnp/fsa/8c2300...0/8c23936r.jpg while the rest of us stayed around to wash the new fabric.

Sandy, what is the address of the French-speaking group? I used to teach
French, but that was 10 years ago, and languages are definitely in the category of Use it or lose it. Nell in Austin "Sandy Foster" wrote in message ...

That musta been in '97 but I have a real bad memory so it could have been a year either side. I joined this ng cos I liked quilting. I stay because its like home - warm and comfy and full of people who I love, even though we all get made at each other sometimes. I have made some of my best friends here and done things I would never have done otherwise. Hope you're feeling better real soon. :-) I also got online in 1997 and immediately started searching for quilters -- important since I was then living in an area far from any other quilters. g This group was so friendly and welcoming that I've stayed and stayed -- I'm still not tired of it! I've met several people from the group in person, some when they came to the Las Vegas area in the past four years and some at the Tucson and Houston quilt shows. I've quit reading other quilting groups (email groups), except for one French-speaking group so I can stay in practice; but this one is an addiction! -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas http://home.earthlink.net/~s_foster |
