Thanksgiving

-
I'm bookmarking all these recipes so I can find them later.  So far today I've made

English Muffins - long story but I was supposed to make Eggs Benedict again this year - and I forgot to buy English Muffins - so I figured I'd make some.  They were so good - that the kids ate all but 3 which I demanded we save for daddy (who went to work)  I'll make another batch tomorrow - they were easy - and will make wonderful egg sandwiches !

I used the leftover dough, buttered it, sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar, rolled it up and let it rise in a cupcake pan.  Baked it with a little dab of butter and more cinnamon sugar on top - and wow - those are all gone too - except for 1 I saved for Daddy.

Then comes the prep for dinner.  So far I've made these

Mashed Potatoes - from Pioneer Woman - awesome !

Also will be making

Baked Sweet Potatoes

Turnip Gratin -

Oyster Dressing - except I substituted Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing instead of homemade - not enough hours in the day. 

Deviled Eggs - I don't usually use a recipe - but figured I'd link one that's close to what I do in case someone has no clue as to what goes on in a deviled egg !

Rolls - right now I'm waiting for the milk mixture to cool before I continue - so figured it'd be a good time to link all these recipes. 

Probably no dessert at our house tonight, but in case, I've already made a batch of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough and it's in the fridge.  Might make some Chocolate Chip cookie dough as well and leave that in the fridge ....

Whew -.... glad Thanksgiving only comes once a year !

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
