Dodee, Jenniky is right, this is so much fun and you'll have a blast, honest!
Welcome to the train.

JABA, your first mystery turned out great. I really like the amount of yellow you have. Wow, quilted and finished.

If I am late getting on the train, perhaps someone else can bring the Rhubarb Tea. Here is the recipe, it makes 2 quarts:

8 stalks rhubarb, cut into 2" pieces
8 cups water
Bring the first two ingredients to a boil then simmer for at least an hour. Let cool and strain. The add you favorite sweeter to taste. Serve iced. You can also garnish with something like mint, my favorite is Pineapple Sage.

Ok Caroline S, thanks for the recipe, where is Spanaway Washington? That sounds interesting. Since I am in Washington as well, maybe we should meet at the same depot to get on the train. I am going to pick some rhubarb and make this up. It sounds so good. I am excited that my rhubarb is doing well so far this year. It has taken a few years to get going but is coming up so nicely this year. Put manure in my garden last year and has made such a difference.

well, my fellow travelers, here we meet again. looks like some fun to come. may actually have enough time to finish my last mystery before i have to start cutting this one. (sewed some of the geese on bacwards so must do some of that "frog" sewing). need to start farming the stash for this thing. thanks judy. enjoy your trip and see you later in may.

All Aboooard. This should be fun. Glad I signed up for the quilting board soI can get in on the fun.

I'm jumping off the train to go pick some rhubarb. I won't be checking my stash until Saturday because I'm up to my neck in a parade of wedding gowns at my church tomorrow. Rhubarb tea will be a welcome diversion.

a scrap buster? count me in--again. Shall I have my son make some homemade Bavarian Cream fllled pastries to go with that Rhubarb tea? Wonder if I can get Anastasia to join in????

Now you are talking!! :D Homemade Bavarian Cream filled pastries to go with the Rhubarb tea, sounds wonderful. Do you think he would make enough for all of us riding this train? I am licking my lips now!! YUM-YUM.
:D :D :D :D

Caroline S............I used to live in Spanaway, when I was a young girl. I loved it over there, but my folks moved back to Yakima when I was in the fourth grade!! I still love to go back & visit that area.
:D :D :D :D

QuilterMomma..........Where in Washington do you live? My daughter lives in Pt. Orchard. It is such a nice place to visit.
