That is really cute, Terri! Lucky SIL!

I'm really liking your bowtie - could be because I'm enhancing my neutrals stash to do a quilt in various shades of cream, beige, etc. I'd been seeing a neutral quilt in beiges and browns for quite some time now. I started laying in the colors a year ago and every time I reached for them colors I made myself back off and go use something else. I find I'm drawn to the two tones and simple geometric patterns more than any other. And before I forget, this is something entirely different from that I made as a house warming gift for my SIL. They are the last relatives to leave New Orleans so now I don't have to worry about any family members down there in harms way. http://www.home.earthlink.net/~dogsn...ges/Aprons.jpg I ran across this in a magazine and just had to make it. The pattern was inspired by the aprons women used to wear in the 1940's and the embellisments are all items given to me by my SIL. She loved it. And I think your design decisions in the monkey puzzle are just fine - and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! So sorry to hear about the loss of your pals. I know how empty your life can feel without them. Today has been an especially bad day for that. Thank you. -- Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy ****...what a ride!" |

Terri, do you happen to remember what magazine the pattern is in?

We have some of these here in the Seattle area! I've often wondered if it
would be fun. -- TerriLee in WA (state) remove the cats to reply http://community.webshots.com/myphot...umID=548330161 "Louise" wrote in message news:GOGDg.88808$FQ1.83919@attbi_s71... Both. If you want to do your own, you register for a class, select the entrees from a menu that changes monthly, and then show up at the scheduled time. All of the ingredients are prepared for you - the meat is cooked/sliced/whatever, the veggies cut up, etc. You then assemble each of your entrees (12 per session, I believe, and each one is designed to serve 4 or more) and put it in the freezer until it's time to go home. Each session lasts about 2 hours, and you go home with 12 (or 6, it's your choice) main dishes - I think she's going to have side dishes available as well, if you want them. If there are only one or two in the family, you can divide most entrees into smaller portions and get more than 12 meals. If you don't have time for the 2-hour session, she and her staff will prepare your entrees for you for an additional charge. This is something that started around her about two or three years ago and they've been fairly successful. She and my brother moved to Wisconsin a couple of years ago, and that's when she decided to start a business herself. I can see where it would be a time saver for busy moms. I haven't been to one myself, but I know my sister went to one to make dinners for her bachelor son who works long hours. He loves it - all he has to do is thaw it out ahead of time and pop it in the oven, which is pretty nice for someone whose idea of a home-cooked meal used to be frozen pizza! -- Louise in Iowa nieland4 at mchsi dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message news:PhGDg.6037$yO4.670@dukeread02... Louise, Your SIL's new business sounds very unusual. I've never heard of such. Do the customers buy the food from her and cook in her facility? Will she prepare the dishes for people who are time (or cooking) challenged? TTFN, PAT, curious in Virginia Louise wrote: Love those aprons! I've been trying to decide what I might make for my DSIL, and that might be it! She just opened a new business - one of the places where you go to prepare meals that you then take home to freeze until you're ready to eat them. In addition, she's always worn an apron at all family gatherings (as opposed to the rest of us who just wipe our hands on our pants!), and something like this apron quilt would be just perfect for her. |
