Anniversary

Twenty years ago yesterday -- August 2, 1995: my first post to RCTQ. I lived in Fargo then. The public television station offered inexpensive internet (email) access -- two hours a day. The service included a range of UseNet Newsgroups, among them RCTQ. I was a novice at both quilting and the internet back then. RCTQ provided a wonderful community, a virtual quilt guild, acquaintances that I value, and friendships that I treasure.

Goodness Nann! Your record-keeping is amazing.
I 'joined' in the mid-nineties, but I don't know when - nor have I any
records to look up >g<.
It was an enormously important part of my life, too. I know one has to
accept change, but I don't do that gracefully!
I am quilting far less now, not due to inclination, but lack of time.
Now that I am retired, I am busier than I have ever been >gg<

I've been on the computer since the mid 90's and that is when I found the
sewing and quilting newsgroups and I have truly enjoyed them and learned a
lot, and met many friends! It's great that these groups have many talented
people willing to help one another learn!

I first saw this group in July 1998, on a friend's computer, and joined in not long after, when I got webTV.

Wow, the changes this group has seen. The loss of quilty friends, celebrations of all sorts, and everything in between. The gain of some very good friends, whom I would never have met except for this group. The wonders of modern technology.
