Hi Don,
RH> I wouldn`t say super smart, just, having made a good number of quilts,
RH> I`ve conquered the basics of calculating number and width of strips to
RH> cut, sub cuts needed, etc. I`ve been sewing since I was 7 years old,
RH> so for decades now (won`t say how many-G-), taught it on a one to one
RH> basis different times & places and made anything from curtains to a
RH> wedding gown (plus the dresses for the rest of the party) to a 3 piece
RH> suit for my husband and projects in between.
DV> You sound `quite` accomplished at sewing! As I mentioned, I `might`
DV> be able to get a button sewed on, but that`s the extent of my skills.
Practice makes perfect. I asked my parents for a sewing machine as a
wedding present, choice of that or a double Wedding Ring quilt. The
machine (and its successors) have had a lot of use, including making a
DWR quilt for us, some years later. One year I had to make our older
daughter`s and a friend of hers, dresses for their performance choir.
I asked our daughter if her friend (or mom) could sew on a button. She
reported back that neither of them could; I made sure our girls had
basic sewing skills before they left home. BTW, my mom did not make the
original DWR quilt offered; mom knit but she could hardly sew a button
on.
RH> I`m taking a break from sewing today--made a strawberry pie this
RH> morning and will do a batch of strawberry-rhubarb preserves this
RH> afternoon. It`s fresh strawberry season in NC and my husband
brought RH> home 4 boxes from the local farmer`s market on Saturday.
They have to RH> be used quickly or will go bad so now we`re down to
about 1/2 a RH> box--just right for nibbles over the next few days.
DV> OK - Strawberry rhubarb preserves, I`m coming to your house for
DV> lunch! ;)
You`ll probably catch us out running a few last minute errands or
finishing the camper loading. By the way, welcome to the kitchen table.
It`s smaller than it used to be, but still lots of good food ideas,
recipies, restaurant reviews, etc are exchanged. Where`s home; we`re in
NC, near Raleigh.
DV> I love strawbery rhubarb pies. They are my downfall. I did make some
DV> strawberry brownies, but used a strawberry cake mix and used the
DV> berries on top! They weren`t bad for someone who can`t cook or sew..
Hey, a cake mix is a good way to start cooking. I grew up making cakes
from scratch and still do, most of the time. For years (decades,
actually) I made our bread--100% whole wheat--but have pretty much
stopped that. Too many other irons in the fire. (G)
DV> Have a great day Ruth!
And you, also.

Catch you later,
