Hi Ruth,

-> -> Did you pack sunglasses and a warning label in with the quilt? (G)

->  RH> No, but I should have!

-> Remember that for the next time.

 RH> Hmmm, note to self: put another eye-bleeder on the list of Quilts To
 RH> Be Made.(G)

As long as your eyes can do it. Do you sew with sunglasses on?

-> -> Send the triangles in another mail out. I may swap out something else

->  RH> Those will probably end up in something I do.  I've always wanted
 RH> to do a random granny quilt.

-> They're good for all kinds of projects. Drive yourself batty with a
-> pinwheel quilt in just 2 fabrics. (G)

 RH> Been there.  Did that!

I did it with a purple aloha print and solid purple for a friend about 8
years ago.


->  RH> And a bunch of meals brought in for Mommy or Daddy, depending on
 RH> who does the cooking?

-> Our church members usually provide meals for a week or with new babies
-> or other times when cooking can be a hardship. There's a web site, I
-> don't remember the name, that you go to--register for so many meals,
-> indicate allergies, dislikes, etc and others log in to sign up for a
-> date/meal. Our folks use it a lot to keep everybody aware of who's
-> making what.

 RH> Meal train?  It's familiar.

Don't think so but I've not contributed too many, due to various
constraints. The site we use does have a space for noting allergies,
likes & dislikes, etc.

->  RH> Those can be really cute. I've done that before, but it's been a
->  RH> while.

-> The baby quilts like that, yes. OTOH, the QoV quilt is random, but with
-> a bit of planning.

 RH> I make some that are random scraps just sort of worked in together.
 RH> You never know what it will look like at the end.

Mystery quilt time!

->  RH> don't make clothes so it's not bad.  I can't do it on the floor any
->  RH> more for certain.

-> OTOH, I still make clothes. Turned a shirt over to Santa the day before
-> we left, 3 more to do when we get home.

 RH> And two more ice packs on the hands?

Actually, they were pretty good overall. I did have to do some hand work
and since it had been a while the wrist/hand was hurting some the next
day. It recovered in time for me to finish the hand work the next day,
then finish the shirt (and the rest of the hand work) without incident.

->  RH> then baked, it'll be interesting to find out how a Jewish Jersey
->  RH> staple ended up in a Mennonite book.

-> Keep it in my memory to send the recipe.

 RH> A pretzel type thingie will have a lye bath involved.  I forget what
 RH> they use for the bagels.

Just boiled in lightly salted water I think.

->  RH> ever exported it. It's a restaurant thing since it requires some
->  RH> fairly big equipment home cooks won't have.

-> That's the hold up from it being better known--you've got to be able to
-> make it at home as well as enjoying it in a restaurant.

 RH> I don't think the equipment is even made any more.

That could be a bit of a problem too. (G)

 RH> Oddly enough I just found chubs of pork roll in the supermarket - same
 RH> place
 RH> that had the scrapple.  They cater to an older crowd, so it makes
 RH> sense.

I can see the point to that.
