Hi Ruth,


->  RH> That's a pretty good trick.  I have to use the foot. I've been
->  RH> assembling a throw quilt for one of my church's missionaries.  The
->  RH> center of the front is
->  RH> a Chinese applique piece that I rescued and reused.

-> Sounds pretty. I've put in a lot of zippers using the all around presser

 RH> It is.  It's a traditional design form.  I've done similar things
 RH> before.

OTOH, I don't have the access to the Chinese applique. Still, I can do a
lot with the fabrics I do have.


-> foot over the years. Helps to have a machine with a needle that can
-> shift right or left of center with the touch of a button.

 RH> This is true.  Mine is prehistoric.

Maybe you need to bring it into the 20th century?


-> -> Mine will go to a member of the military or family of a deceased
 RH> member.

->  RH> Good idea.  Mine usually end up with someone who's sick or injured,
 RH> or
->  RH> both.

-> Other than the ones I've made for us and grand kids, all the quilts I've
-> made have been for various charities. I usually take pictures tho, for
-> the memories, and have them as a rotating wall paper on my net book and
-> (some) on my phone.

 RH> I take pictures too.  Some have gone to charities, but the rest have
 RH> been gifts. I did make one for myself.

I keep my teaching sampler quilts and of course we have the 2 I've made
Steve. The 2nd was the "knock yor socks off" project that we need to
figure out where to hang (out of direct sunlight).


->  RH> They have noses and they get hungry.  Most cats figure it out
 RH> pretty quickly.

-> As do dogs, even the "dumber'n dirt" cocker spaniel we had. He could be
-> tricked into thinking we had doctored up his dry dog food by just adding
-> water. He thought it was some kind of broth because we did give him some
-> of that from time to time.

 RH> It tasted OK to him.  Cats can't be fooled like that.

We never tried it with any of the cats we had. Jenny was the only one
who ever got canned cat food; the rest got nothing but dry.


->  RH> Mine don't even like human grade roast lamb, so I think it's the
 RH> meat
->  RH> itself. Fish, chicken, beef etc are fine, but not lamb.

-> We never tried any animals on the human grade lamb so don't know how
-> they would have reacted. We only really started buying it in HI, after
-> we didn't have any pets at  home.

 RH> I buy it when it's cheap enough, and once in a while a cat gets a
 RH> table scrap or the water from the tuna can.

Our cats used to get the oil from the fish can. It ran right thru Inge
when she was a kitten so Steve bathed her, then used his blow dryer on
her. She was not a happy camper--but she did like the fish oil. Never
got any more tho, at least while we had her
