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."

LOL AnngelAnne ..cute story made me laugh.

Deb- Those fabrics are going to make an awesome quilt. :thumbup:

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.

It is a sad day here, we lost our beloved dog of 13+ years. He was the best, sweetest dog I have ever known. Rest In Peace Puppy.

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 :) :) :)

I have never made deep fried ice cream, but one of the restaurants in town has it. It is wonderful!!!

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.
