But Is It Kool? submitted by need2sew
Thanks to everyone who posted a Kaleidoscope entry in our Show and Tell section, and to those who sent their submission by email. Now comes the hard part of choosing 20 for the book which will be published by TQS site sponsor, C&T - whoo hoo!
I think there are about 125 total submissions. I'm so very proud of all the quilts. If you could only imagine how if feels to create a method or technique and then see so many happy results. What a lucky guy I am! Thanks for your continued support. If you have not seen the quilts in the Show and Tell - go take a look!
DVDs are available at www.rickytims.com. The book is scheduled to release Fall 2010.

Saying farewell to our wonderful group in Frederic, MD last May.
Justin and I are now on our third day of driving to Lynnwood, Washington for the Ricky Tims Super Quilt Seminar which will be held Thursday-Saturday.
Libby's foot is all healed, so she'll be there - in rare form I'm betting! Alex and John fly in today.
The entire crew will rendezvous at about 5pm today.
I can't wait! With over 500 registered for this seminar, I'm betting many of you out there are planning to be there. Raise your hand!
Also, for you Southern California and southwest US quilters, the Downey, CA deadline for large groups (10 or more, and best registration price) is coming up in early September. Go to www.rickytims.com for more info.

I need help. I am a quilter and I like to shop for fabric. Well now that I have so much fabric I need a way to inventory what I have using my computer. Do you have any recommendation on software that I could scan in a a small piece and log how much I have in stock. Or do you know of any other system that would help me?
Please help Shirley by submitting a comment with your advice.

Hi everyone. Last week my dad was admitted to the hospital with a blockage in his colon. Initially he was very sick and we were very concerned. However, almost immediately upon getting to the hospital they started treatment to maintain him and so we went to an 'on-hold' pattern. I was away on my short vacation (actually in the mountains away from communications) when this originally happened. Once I got home to civilization, everything had cooled off - which was a relief. The docs and surgeons wanted to keep him over the weekend to see if everything would move on its own without surgery. I'm happy to report that mom called earlier today dad delivered the goods so he is going home tonight without any surgery. Thanks for your concerns and prayers.
Some of you caught wind of this situation and I wanted to follow up. I'm spending the night in Rock Springs, WY en route to Seattle (Lynnwood) for our Super Quilt Seminar this weekend.
Dad will be 83 in November and he still quilts every day.

Arlene (scraparts) asks:
"I am in the process of updating my all in one printer and would like to know what is being used in the quilting arena. I do a fair amount of printing on fabric and don't want to buy one that does not handle the fabric sheets. I also use the copy function alot. Thank you for your suggestions. I currently have a HP 2410 and it uses a lot of ink as well as the rollers have had their share of work over the years."
Put your suggestion in by submitting a comment.

Ever thought of starting a blog (or using the member's blog area on this web site)? In this 6 part series, which will run daily this week, you will meet three queen bloggers and they will share their blogging wisdom with us. Meet Monica, our happyzombie - Pam at pamkittymorning and Elizabeth at The late bloomer blog. Check out their blogs and tag them as favorite places to visit. Also, for rich blogging information get your hands on Bloggin Bliss by Tara Frey where two of my guests are featured. It got kind of crazy that morning and so do not be alarmed that I end up in a very unusual place. (six segments will air)
