Hi Nancy,

 NB> sewing. (G)  NB>> Up until recently, I didn't really have the
 NB> capability to print out  NB>> coupons from online anyway... I think I
 NB> have that now, maybe, but like  NB>> you, it would be something else
 NB> to fill time I don't have...  :)

 RH> I've had the printing capability--needed to have a printer for school
 RH> papers--but the time to hunt down on line deals isn't always there.

 NB> Oh, I've got the printer, and use it for reports, etc... but was
 NB> lacking the interface for printing from online...

OK, get the resident computer geek/guru onto it. (G)


 NB>  RH>> Got this one worked out and aprons went into the mail last week,
 NB>  RH>> priority. Still had enough fabric to do a table runner for my
 NB> MIL  RH>> with some of the extra.
 NB>  NB>> Good deal...  :)

 RH> I generally buy a bit of extra fabric, especially cotton types. Small
 RH> pieces usually end up in quilts or earmarked for future quilts. (G)

 NB> When you know that it will undoubtedly be used sooner or later in some
 NB> project, makes sense to get a little extra while you're getting...

Yes, especially of the cuter prints and blendables. I was at the quilt
shop I used to go to when we lived in Savannah today, got some Quilts of
Valor panels, a couple of QoV fat quarters (same print, one to keep--for
now--and one to use), another FQ that got my attention and a free one
for having my red bag. Having the red bag also gave me a discount; it's
a fabric tote advertising the shop that they tie a lot of their sales
into your using it.

 RH> Cotton also work best for pot holders because polyester doesn't take
 RH> the heat. Probably should put a few pot holders/hot pads together to
 RH> have on hand to include in gift sets.

 NB> Sounds like a plan, for when you have a scrap of time... :)

I have bits and pieces, here & there. As well as catching up on sewing,
I want to finish cutting down my cotton scraps over the next few months.
I've got 4 bags full, was down to one bag at one point but..........


 NB>  RH>> That's why we warn. There's also a lot of adults who don't like
 NB> hot &  RH>> spicy so they are warned as well.
 NB>  NB>> And those that like hot and spicy are made aware of a treat to
 NB> be had  NB>> as well...  :)

 RH> One of the teen agers who's not into hot actually enjoyed a piece of
 RH> the cheese. His dad likes hot stuff; I suspect he had at least one
 RH> piece of the cheese. (G)

 NB> No doubt... (G)  And the teen surprised himself by liking it too.. he
 NB> may be lured into being into hot yet... :)

I suspect the kid will gradually work into liking things hotter. His
older sister likes some heat, but not as much as her dad. Youngest
sister doesn't like it but the "middle" sister I think is also beginning
to try some. Mom is not into it nearly as much as Dad is so he has to be
careful not to use too much whenever he cooks.

Catch you later,
