The simpliest pattern for a cape is a half circle, I'm thinking that a yard deep could be good for Margo's size suggestion, therefore we would need 2 yards of fabric by 1 yard.... Have you got that many spare boxer short's Terrie, or do we need to find some other fabric to augment them?

Margo, the guy in the shorts ain't bad either!

I know absolutely zero about bowling, but I loved watching that. Even I can tell it was very special. Big contatulations, Keith! I bet if you would take me to one of these places I would have a lot of fun rolling the ball along one of those ditches on either side of the lane.

Here is a more direct link to Keith's 300! Congratulations kiddo!! http://www.bowlingarizona.com/video4/dommer3001.wmv

Hmmm....hip length cape? plaid?

Hey- they finally posted the videos of my 300 last weekend at [url]http://www.bowlingarizona.com..[/url].
Terrie - Dwight says he likes plaid... And if we're good enough - they'll let us bowl in anything...
We ate at a shopping center in San Jose called Santa Row tonight - kind of a stuffy yuppie happy hour strip mall - not my kind of place but it was fun. Wait-I shouldn't be blogging here.
Lorchen - you're delightful and motivational even though you put a spell on my thread.

...I have collected some boxer shorts..... just saying...

Capes are easy to make, Keith, but they use a lot of fabric. I'm sure we'd all love to see you and Dwight competing wearing some really jazzy quilted capes!

Ritzy, that picture was taken by my son when Faye was 4 hours old. I had just been told that Faye's middle name is 'Hannelore'. I didn't know at the time if I should smile or cry.

We made it - we had a good practice squad - thin Dwight bowls good - doubles qualifying is tomorrow - this one's a PBA event, a step up from the tourney I won last weekend - we can hear your cheering - Dwight thinks we should bowl in capes - does anybody know how to make fashion capes for bowlers?

OK! Now I have read your post and I have to say--you are not getting these fat thighs in anything "skimpy"--quilted or not.

Oh LORCHEN!!!!! I haven't even read your post yet. What a great picture! I love it.

Only quilters would not misunderstand 'playing with your threads'.

Go and get them, Tiger!! We should try and organize a cheerleader squad for you and Dwight, Keith! I can see it now: Skimpy crazy patchwork outfits, designed and sewn by Rosemary, embellished with lots of Razzle Dazzle, Margo doing the choreography, .............

And before anybody make a cheeky comment...... I have only had one little single malt, and now I'm off to bed!

He is out there winning bowling tournaments!!!!
