That's the very elf Roberta! I was thinking more of using her in my
whining, martyr mood---to offset the RedQueen.---It is hard balancing and managing multiple personalities. However---if you come to call we shall eat the cream cake like the perfect ladies we are! Judy |

Somehow, Judy, I just cannot imagine any part of you "cringing"!!!! - an
imaginary part of you or not! Dream on, though..... it's your personality you're splitting G ME-Judy "Judy Grevenites" wrote in message ... Y'know Piglet, I may have to add another personality to my ever fractured personality. There is Judy the adult, RedQueen the mad, but you're right--it's time to start thinkng of getting a servant around the old castle. How about Tremble the cringing? She could emerge to do the chopping and the pots and pans and vacuuming and such (whatever it is that servants do) She could be sort of like that little house elf in the 2nd Harry Potter movie. I could kick her around and be queen to my hearts content.(this could be an interesting stop on my trip to the asylum. ReQueen |

Actually, that statement should be attributed to someone else,
Lia I think. I did not say that. I did offer some Royal Options to the issue though! PAT, Queen of Everything Piglet wrote: Certainly, I'd go for it in a New York minute if I had the staff to pre-chop everything and wash up after that the cooking show dudes have. evil g Some of the Queens here may have sufficient staff to do that; here in the Sty, however, all our assistants are QIs. So depending on the ingredient, they might do an okay job of the washing up after (if you count "nothing but tongue prints" as clean), but the chopping options are 1) chewed and spit out and 2) clawed severely, and neither of those meet Our Royal Standards. g --pig On 2/25/04 11:29, opined: I especially love it on the cooking shows where each of those ingredients has been lovingly prepped and then placed in an individual little glass bowl. Can you imagine washing a separate bowl for each vegetable you put in a stir-fry? |

there is no way I can do a quilt in a day, unless that is all I do for
24 hours, and that would kind of take the joy out of it, making it a chore... AliceW wrote: I've taken several classes at my LQS that are advertised as a "quilt in a day" type classes. I did my first rail fence quilt this way. I did finish the top in class. But it took several days to pick the fabric and determine the layout; a day to wash and press the fabric; a day to do the pre-cutting; did the sewing in class (9 - 4pm); then a day for backing and basting; a weekend for machine quilting; a day to make the binding and attach it to the front; two days to do the hand sewing of the binding. Not bad for a quilt in a day, huh? n.b. - these were not consecutive days either - family, house, job were higher priorities. -- Dr. Quilter Ambassador of Extraordinary Aliens http://community.webshots.com/user/mvignali (take the dog out before replying) |

I agree with you totally! I can get a top done (YBR being the biggest), but
by the end of that, I'm spent. Of course, even a "top in a day" assumes you've done pre-cutting. The last quilt I made in a day was the New Year's Day mystery quilt and even in that case, I just made the top. Fun every once in a while, but sure would not make a habit of making quilts this way. -- Alice in NJ, Royal Cybrarian www.ourcyberfamily.us "Time is that quality of nature which keeps events from happening all at once.
