Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> The wide range of color choice was mostly what I was thinking
 NB> of...  NB>> :) And if you were to make a Victorian crazy quilt, there
 NB> wouldn't  NB>> even be the pattern constraints...  :)

 RH> Mom had a really interesting crazy quilt in a hope chest. I know Don
 RH> wasn't interested in it, have to see if my sisters do or not but I'd
 RH> like to get it.

 NB> Does either of your sisters quilt...?  I suppose they might be
 NB> interested in it even if they don't, though... :)

Neither sister quilts but one or the other may want it on GP.

 RH> I picked fabrics for my next QoV project yesterday, a
 RH> solid white, 2 red prints and 2 blue ones.

 NB> Sounds nicely patriotic...  ;)  Is that a "regulation", or can you use
 NB> other color schemes...?

You can use other color schemes but since these quilts go to vets, the
patriotic colors are more appropriate. You could use a beige, cranberry
and (other) blue, for example, it's still RW&B. Our group generally uses
pariotic colors for the presentation quilts, other color schemes for the
quilts we raffle off as fund raisers. I saw a stained glass window in
yellow, green and pink that would make a nice quilt, took pictures and
showed it to our co-ordinator. She wants it made as a raffle quilt.

 NB>  NB>> A long time... decades...  I'm thinking 25 years at least....
 NB> they  NB>> were well established a while before we started making them
 NB> a
 NB>  NB>> tradition... we'd been there at least once or twice before...

 RH> I didn't realise it had been around for so long. But, good food & good
 RH> service, I can see why it is still going. One of these days we'll get
 RH> back to it.

 NB> I think they were the first Korean restaurant here... IIRC, they got
 NB> started while Mr. Yang was remodelling his Chinese restaurant into
 NB> Japanese/Korean...  His Korean friends at the Korean Presbyterian
 NB> Church had been encouraging him to provide the service for them... and
 NB> there
 NB> was enough of a clientele that both restaurants, even essentially
 NB> across the street from each other, thrived...  now there are a few
 NB> more, I know of two others just in Henrietta...

Nice, thanks for a bit of history of the place.

 NB> wane... some  NB>> parts of them might stay constant, like what goes
 NB> into the stockings  NB>> IF one has them...  (G)

 RH> I grew up with them, did them with the girls, and they do them with
 RH> their kids. We don't do them for the 2 of us tho.

 NB> Likewise... One year, before he took off for his "second career", my
 NB> son did stockings for us... that was fun.. :)  Lydia took over doing
 NB> it for her kids, now her oldest does it for HER kids...

And the cycle continues..........................

 NB> make sure that  NB>> there wasn't any apple lurking in the red fruit
 NB> juices)...  Now that's  NB>> been taken over by others, but they still
 NB> make sure that it doesn't  NB>> have any apple in it... some of them
 NB> have been forced into (horrors!)  NB>> actually reading labels... :)

 RH> Reading labels--they might actually learn something! If not anything
 RH> else, they may learn how to twist their tongues around some of the
 RH> chemical preservative names.

 NB> Actually most have a reasonably good idea on how to pronounce that
 NB> stuff, even if they don't normally bother reading the labels...

 RH> Has anybody tried switching green punch
 RH> for the red or is red the traditional?

 NB> Red's pretty much the traditional... this year it was more pinkish,
 NB> though... a different set of juices, and less of the really red
 NB> juices... ;)

Sounds interesting, they probably had fun finding different apple free
juices.
