Trunks Get Applique

The truck quilts are going along well and now all the applique is on them. It is fun to design what colors will be used in applique. Applique is probably my favorite handwork and I never get tired of needle turn. This applique was tuned and glued to foundation made for applique then machine appliqued using invisible poly thread. I love how this thread works and looks. So easy!! and fast. So now to get the background cut and moving forward. This stay at home as been good for getting these done. Blessings to each of you as we together work to keep us all safe.

Surprise Ingredient

Made quiche this AM. I really do not cook so this is my first time on this and internet of course got me to a recipe. I had in the fridge some asparagus that needed used and so why not quiche? I had no crust so why not no crust quiche? ham and swiss cheese  All good. Who knew the secret ingredient is nutmeg and it really lifts the flavor delightfully. Well I guess those that cook would know that...

All good and I can now say I know how to make quiche.  (Yes, husband and son were pleasantly surprised at my cooking ability)

Trunks Stacking Up

I am making quilts for 2 GrandDts for HS graduation and getting a lot done during this stay at home adventure. I got the basics done and now working on the applique for them. Keep checking back as I work through the fun...

Friendship Album 1933 a Great Listen

If you are looking for a great "read" (audio)  then the Friendship Album,1933 is very entertaining. I am a fan of audio and this fits my quilting thing well. I am a fan of Frances O'Roark Dowell and her podcast the offkilterquilt.com  So if you are looking for a listen, try this.

New to the Quilting Party? No problem, Friendship Album, 1933, is still available for free. You can listen to the entire novel on your podcast provider of choice, or right on our web site. Set in small town Ohio during the Great Depression, the story chronicles an improbable group of five strangers brought together by quilting and turned into family.
