 NB>>> Does either of your sisters quilt...?  I suppose they might be
 NB>>> interested in it even if they don't, though... :)
 RH>> Neither sister quilts but one or the other may want it on GP.
 NB>> True...  Do you know who made that quilt...?

 RH> No idea, Mom picked it up at an auction. I didn't look at it that
 RH> closely to see if it had a label.

So at least the GP wouldn't include that it was some sort of family
heirloom... ;)   Something to talk thru sometime, I guess... :)

 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
 NB>>> you use other color schemes...?
 RH>> You can use other color schemes but since these quilts go to vets, the
 RH>> patriotic colors are more appropriate. You could use a beige,
 RH>> cranberry and (other) blue, for example, it's still RW&B. Our group
 RH>> generally uses patriotic colors for the presentation quilts, other
 RH>> color schemes for the quilts we raffle off as fund raisers.
 NB>> Ok, that makes sense...  :)

 RH> That way we can make use of donated fabric that's in other colors

That, too... :)

 RH> BTW, I think I have enough fabric to do a reverse of what I'm

 RH> white where the red and blue are.
 
Good show...  :)   That sounds like a nice quilt, too...  :)

 RH>> I saw a stained glass window in yellow, green and pink that would
 RH>> make a nice quilt, took pictures and showed it to our co-ordinator.
 RH>> She wants it made as a raffle quilt.
 NB>> That could be pretty... :)

 RH> We'll do it as 4 blocks, with black "leading" strips to make it look
 RH> like a stained glass piece too.

Will the blocks be done by four different people, then...?  That can be
fun, to collaborate on something like that...  :)

 RH>>> I didn't realise it had been around for so long. But, good food
 NB>>> I think they were the first Korean restaurant here... IIRC, they
 RH>> Nice, thanks for a bit of history of the place.
 NB>> The first year that we went there for Christmas Eve, there was a bunch
 NB>> of carolers that came in while we were there, that sang for the people
 NB>> there in the restaurant... :)  I think they may have come from the
 NB>> Korean Presbyterian Church...  :)  Haven't seen it since, so dunno if
 NB>> our timing's been different or if that was a one-off thing...  :)

 RH> Have to ask when you go there for your pre Christmas meal.

If I think of it then...  :)   Or if I think of it in the meantime,
sometime when we go there in between...  :)

 NB>>> Lydia took over doing it for her kids, now her oldest does it for
 NB>>> HER kids...
 RH>> And the cycle continues......................
 NB>> Yup... the way traditions do...  :)

 RH> With minor twists along the way.
 
Often...  :)

 RH>> Sounds interesting, they probably had fun finding different
 RH>> apple free juices.
 NB>> Apparently...  :)

 RH> As I did once with a 3 bean salad. Instead of using green, wax and
 RH> kidney beans, IIRC, I used black, white and (I think) red beans in the
 RH> traditional marinade. Same salad, different beans.

Not quite the same salad...  ;)   But at least the same marinade... ;) 
I've seen versions that were 4-bean (added chickpeas to the traditional
3), and ones that added other things to the mix...  That's something I
tend to buy canned...  Reed's is pretty good and quick for the spur of
the moment deciding you need something like that to round out a meal. ;)
