A New Mystery Quilt Train Ride! Hop on-board anytime
#271
Okay Everose, something that has to make you smile as it makes me chuckle just thinking about it. I live next door to someone that just doesn't get the fun and interest I have in quilting. She comes over from time to time to see how the "projects" are coming along and just doesn't understand why I spend so much time and brain power on these and then just give them away. And every time I talk about looking thru my "stash" she gets this disgusted look on her face and says she doesn't want to hear about it. Finally one day when I was all excited about figuring out a color combination after looking thru my "stash" she said, "why would you look thru the trash to find material, that is gross."
Deb- Those fabrics are going to make an awesome quilt.
And yes there is a dining car for a proper meal on the train when needed and also a sleeping car..but be careful there are still a few flying geese nesting in one of the bunks.

I tried my hand at making fried ice cream last night for my family. Love when the kids and crew comes over. Anyway, I think I will bring this to the car. Gotta have a freezer and fryer though. Any takers?

Already a freezer in the club car with that cherry chocolate ice cream and those frozen drink bags in it. Only need a fryer.

Marybeth, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dear Chesepeake of 16 years just 6 months after I lost my DH, so I understand how you are feeling. She was my 100 lb baby, so sweet but I never had worry about anyone hurting me. She especially loved babies.

I checked with the cook in the dining car.. he loaned us a small portable fryer ..with stabilizers of course..for safety for use in the club car. I've never tried fried ice cream... Im up for some

Thank you so much for this recipe - I just was over to my neighbors last evening and picked enough to try making a rhubarb tea - recipe shared in earlier quote - and picked enough to make some muffins with a little left over - this will be perfect.
I've been reading over this thread trying to decide if I should jump on board and try a mystery quilt - I've never done one before; you all make it sound very easy and there are other newbies that I wouldn't feel alone. I'll check my fabrics when I get home to see what I can come up with.
You all have a fantabulous day.

Kristine,
I've never done one either! But it sure looks like we're going to have a fun time with all this crew! And all the munchies in the club car will definitely satisfy our appetites as well. Jump in & join the fun!!

Do you think these fabrics would work? I could use either the yellow or pink as my contrast fabric. Whichever one I don't use could be used as sashing or the white might work for sashing.
