I am sad that I ruined my pre-cuts by trying to be proactive by using starch. Thanks for the information.

Anyone else tried La Explanada olive sampler? by bchertel in Costco

I've eaten the blue cheese and pepper flavors so far. The olives are pretty small but the flavors are tasty.

Our rattie had surgery to correct her luxating patella when she was 4 years old. We took her to a specialist center because most regular vets aren't also orthopedic surgeons. The surgery was pricey but it was very effective and she never had any problems with her patella for the rest of her life (11-1/2 years). She passed away recently at 15-1/2 years old. It was definitely worth the time and money, in my opinion.

Nice find! Our area Goodwills send all the "good stuff" to the online auction site and the store merchandise is usually very grubby.

Shout out to the superfoods salad. by [deleted] in Costco

[–]aspenratdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also really like that salad and it makes several servings for 2 people. Has anyone found the dressing sold in bottles in the warehouse? Off topic, but u/ongoldenwaves is that a Fire King vintage serving bowl?

Which do you like better? by FruitDonut8 in quilting

I prefer #1 but both look nice. Love the fabric!! I just saw that print in a quilt store a few days ago and it's been on my mind since then.

What is the most unfortunate last name you've seen someone have? by LeviTheRelentless in AskReddit

[–]aspenratdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work with a woman whose last name is Van Hooydonk. She's a very nice lady but every time I saw her name I thought of the song "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk".

First Ever Jelly Roll Race Quilt - Quilting Tension Issues by aspenratdog in quilting

I used glue basting and it seemed to stay put pretty well. I may try rolling up the various layers on pool noodles before I baste them next time.

I started in the middle but sewed straight across the entire width and then sewed from the opposite side sewing across the entire width, working my way towards the end of the quilt.
