Quilt in a Day Forums

Good morning!

No rain! Whoop-de-doo!! Big doin's today! It's the first day of the semi-annual 5-day 40% off EVERYTHING sale at my favorite LQS. and her prices are already 20% lower than anyone else's, so it's really quite a savings! All quality fabrics. Here is where I stock up on my whites, creams, and blenders. Also, I have a list of other fabrics I"m on the hunt for - some Christmas prints, chili pepper fabric, patriotic, etc. It's great fun! Final cost ranges from $3 to $$6 per yard. Even DH has gone with me a time or two. He knows the cost of good fabric so he encourages me to buy, buy BUY. Plus it's nice to have a 'slave boy' to tote those arm loads of bolts to the cutting counter!

IRISH - I saw something yesterday I've wanted to see for a long time - a picture of you!!! On Facebook! And what a gorgeous photo it is, too! And a great background - Lake Tahoe, I assume? you are even prettier than I'd imagined! How did Dan's girlfriend like her costume? And you try to behave today when out with the girls. You can tell by my opening paragraph that I won't have much cash to spare for bail money!

BECCA - oooh, how is your hand? Hope the burn heals quickly. One more reason to stay out of the kitchen and keep to your sewing room. I've I'm going to have a burn I want it to be from sewing and not from cooking!

JANA - I haven't seen that mix for salsa - but then I haven't looked either! Moving weekend coming up for the kids! I bet everyone is happy about that!! Did you say they will only be a few blocks from you?

TINA - sorry Jayda's mom is such a poopy-head. Some people are just like that. some day she will have a lot of regrets. One year, when my kids were little, we had a birthday party for our cat, Larry, who was 1 yr old. We invited about 6 neighbor kids, I made a cat-shaped cake, we had Goldfish crackers, played cat-themed games, and each kid got to go home with a gift bag of catfood for their cat! Kids loved it!

CHICKIE - Are you STILL recovering from that wild party the other night???

Well, you know how leftovers tend to take on a life of their own? Well, I still have half of the leftover casserole left over. So that, and salad, will be on our menu for tonite. It was pretty good. I won't mind a re-run.

What's on your menu for tonite?

Good morning! Mary—sounds like a GREAT day at the quilt shop!!! You have a great DH to carry your purchases without seeing $$$$$! I go Thursday to Edna to pick up my BOM. I need to make October’s block today.

Tina—I saw where your DD is bringing ideas to work on… here she brings the ideas, and I do the work on. Good luck!!! I have some scarves to make for DD and DGD—she brought the fabrics and those hopeful looks.

Jana—Mrs. Wages mixes are all I see here. I have used them and like them.

I just missed here yesterday… got busy with “stuff” and never returned… Oh, that happened to a guy who got on the MTA and “No, he never returned… his fate is still unknown…” For a little while, I got to work on some Christmas sewing. Later, I was looking for recipes to make for Mom’s birthday luncheon tomorrow. My sister assigned things. I’m supposed to bring scones or something, but I’m thinking “something” else. She’s making quiche, and I’m thinking some mini sausage balls, cheese straws (rounds, since I don’t have a cookie press any more), and parmesan mini biscuits. The other sister is bringing a green salad, and the first sister is bringing dessert as well. Her DD is bringing flowers for the table. My DD is unable to get off work, and of course DGD can’t skip school… Mom will be 97… I can’t believe it!!!

I forgot to make anything for dinner last night, so I used the last one of the Little Caeser pizzas from the fund raising kit and made DH pizza. I had some more of the taco soup. Tonight… I really MUST make something. Guess I’ll go see what’s in the freezer… I saw a recipe for the chicken rice casserole. I used to make it a lot in another life. DH’s not big on chicken, but he might eat that. If I don’t have chicken… another plan will have to hatch… I’m wanting potato soup… maybe with grilled cheese sandwiches for DH… That could work! I could take Mom a bowl of potato soup for her supper tomorrow.

Hello Mary Chickie & others,must hurry as sun popped out & going for walk.

Mary Forgot my have is doing better today.After I burned it I thought I couldn't imagine the pain someone feels if their body gets burned.Horrible that would be.....Becca

I made the chicken casserole in the crock pot. I have the mini sausage balls ready to bake tomorrow, and in the morning I'll mix up the cheese rounds and mini Parmesan biscuits.
