'Wot RoTT' exchange

[Renata L.]

Haven't heard of that one, another brew my friends did was using pineapple, which came out rather well.

A different friend who became known as 'The Hooch Master General, for brewing above and beyond the call of sanity' once made a gallon of chilli mead with 4 oz of red chilli pepper in it :shock: It was said that you always knew where the bottle was, as it made it's way around the campfire - it was just to the right of someone gasping for breath :wink:

Rosemary, you are way too funny! I think I will stick to my chili chocolate and not try making chilli mead although I always have a liter of alcohol waiting to be combined with a fruit in season and sugar, whatever suits my fancy at the moment. My next glass will be raised in praise of your mirth! :P

I can almost see the slogan: 'Chilli Mead, It'll warm the cockles of your Heart'! :lol: Too funny Rosemary. I love the title of the 'Hooch Master General'. :lol:

[Rita C.]

I think I might put my reels together in a way that would be like they all fell on the floor and this is how they looked...very random. If I can figure out how to piece them that way. I am pretty random in general. lol Such as randomly throwing in this topic in the middle of brew recipes. ;-) I only get on here occasionally because it is summer here on the farm and it is busy, busy! Good busy.

[Rita C.]

Sounds like a fun plan to me, but with all those odd angles for piecing, starch will definitely be your friend.
Random is good on this thread, it is Tangled Threads afer all :wink:

i've just about decided to make mine into a "beach-hut" quilt.
i've been in love with those fun and colorful beach-huts standing in a row since i first saw a set years and years and years ago
think the reels would make great and fun beach-huts
and adds a whole new dimension to the possibilities of embellishments...

[Lotti D.]

What a BRILLIANT idea Lotti - can't wait to see that one!

[Rita C.]

Great idea Lotti - look forward to seeing it someday.

[Renata L.]

Great idea, Lotti! Reminded me of when I lived in Okinawa!

[Roseanne M.]

Lotti,
Haven't ever seen a beach hut, so googled it & Wow! what fun images come up. I pasted one here.
What a fun idea for our stripey blocks!

[Renata L.]

That's a great beach hut design, Roseanne, and possibly more in keeping with what Lotti might have had in mind... I don't know... but the thought "beach hut" conjured up for me was one with a thatched roof! :lol:

[Roseanne M.]

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Yes, there were a lot of images with the thatched roof. That could be a fun 3D applique thingy.

[Roseanne M.]

Whereas this is more the sort of thing I was thinking of
Ok so they are all closed up, but these are at Swanage, Dorset, where my Gran used to live, and we would go down every year for a holiday. Her house was half way up a very steel hill, and it was hard work schlepping up after a day at the beach.

[Lotti D.]

and i was thinking of these which i saw in sweden two summers ago...




but much more colorful - more like these:

of course the first beach huts i've ever seen were from jacque tati's movie: Mr. Hulot's Holiday:

as you can see - we can do with them whatever we want :P

Lotti! Absolutely brilliant!

[Roseanne M.]

Love the beach huts!
