Ärende: soup's on!
==================
-> -> use a fattier one if I've got a super lean one to counter balance it.
-> 
->  RH> I've had veal now and then; does the modern version even have a
taste?
-> 
-> Don't know, haven't had any in years that wasn't covered with marinara
-> sauce & mozzarella cheese. (G)
-> 
That doesn't sound like much of an endorsement.  I think I'll stick to
turkey for that application, when it turns up cheap.

->  RH> I have a rotary cutter too, but it's easier to use a shears on old
->  RH> clothes.
-> 
-> Depends on the size of them and what areas you want cut up.  For some
-> parts, I'd go for the rotary cutter as first choice.

For wovens, that's true.  For knits, the scissor is a lot easier.
 
-> -> progress I've made in just 6 months of working at it very part time.
-> -> I'll sew up a couple of sundresses for Sarah after the semester ends
-> -> (end of May); that'll use a few yards (dress & lining, panties).
-> 
->  RH> I've just rediscovered some partially finished baby and art quilts
->  RH> that I'd all but forgotten I ever started.  Getting those fixed
will
->  RH> eat up some of the stash.
-> 
-> Yes, and generate ideas for using more of it.
-> 
Most likely; I still need to invent the backs!
 
-> -> I dn't have a lot of fleece bits, mostly yardage.  Got rid of all the
-> -> really small bits before we left GA.
-> 
->  RH> Awww - well, you can always cut up yardage.
-> 
-> I will--into jackets and then the remnants into a crazy quilt maybe.
-> I've got a small piece of a yellow lady bug print I might make into a
-> Sarah sized vest--or add solid sleeves for a jacket.

I used a piece with school house border print as the backing for a quilt
for a friend.  There's a small piece left, but what to do with it....
 
->  RH> Oh, OK.  Good enough for the time being.  He'll be really knackered
->  RH> when he has a screaming baby waking him up four times a night.
-> 
-> Time will tell.  By then, Steve will be taking 6 hours of credit thru
-> the Equipping Center at the church, doing whatever he's assigned.  Maybe
-> some of that will include giving grandfatherly advice to the 2 new dads.
-> (G)

Or babysitting?
 
-> Steve put Skype on to my dad's computer so we've had chats the last
-> couple of nights with Rachel & kids.  My folks have really enjoyed being
-> able to see Robert & Sarah (and Rachel & kitty Lou).

How to get the oldsters to use computers - let them use it to talk to the
grandkids!
