========================
Aloha Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Fun, isn't it?  Sometimes I'll get several yards of the same color solid
-> -> fabric but in different hues so I can have blenders to go with prints.
-> -> It means I may have to pick up one extra piece of fabric for a quilt
-> -> I've got in mind vs several, sort of like "almost free". I did my greens
-> -> quilt that way; only one piece besides the backing was bought just for
-> -> that.  The other 3 pieces were in my stash.
-> 
->  hn> Sure, but with quilting don't you save all the scraps of material you
->  hn> use for all
->  hn> those other projects too? I have a friend who quilts and when ever 
she
->  hn> has scraps she will either sew them to other scraps to make 
a "square"
->  hn> or cut them into squares and she files them away for future
->  hn> quilts...she keeps them in 1 gall ziploc bags! she has a vacuum sealer
-> 
-> I do save scraps--and scraps of scraps.  Soem of it is in gallon size
-> bags; a lot is in the plastic 18-28 gallon size rubbermaid type bins.
-> Not all of it is quilting fabric either since I also do a fair amount of
-> garment sewing.
-> 
And those scraps won't work on quilts why?

-> -> Bummer, isn't it?  I'm not so thrilled with OG any more; tried Carrabbas
-> -> on our way out here and I like them better. We have both fairly nearby
-> -> but it's hard finding a seat on Friday or Saturday night. (G)
-> 
->  hn> We went to OG back when my mother in law was visiting last
->  hn> august....and to me the sauces were over salty, over sweet, and 
rather
->  hn> poorly
->  hn> seasoned....and the pasta was cooked to death...But my mother in 
law
->  hn> likes them and she likes to treat all of us to a "nice dinner out"
-> 
-> 
-> My parents and Steve's are the same way with us.  We took one of 
Steve's
-> aunts to OG in Amarillo; she's widowed and I guess doesn't like cooking
-> Italian for just herself.
-> 
-> 
->  hn> when she
->  hn> visits...I'd prefer to do the cooking at home but......well you know
->  hn> mothers! (G)
-> 
-> Yep, on both sides of the coin.
-> 
Nuff said! (grin)
chat with you soon
