Blackberry Cobbler

I am not much of a cook, and by the grace of God, I don’t have to be.  BUT, every now & again I get in the mood to cook or bake.  The biggest reason I don’t do the cooking is because I have a problem with cooking in small quantities.  This cobbler is in a 2 QT dish, so not too big that it won’t be wasted.'

4 cups blackberries

1 tsp lemon juice

1 scant cup flour

1 scant cup sugar

1/8 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

6 TBSP butter

 

Preheat oven to 350.  place blackberries in casserole dish.  sprinkle with lemon juice

In separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients.  stir in beaten egg & vanilla.  Mix until a crumbly texture.  Sprinkle over berries (covering).

Melt butter, drizzle over crumbles.  sprinkle a little sugar on top.

Bake 40 min.

Get the ice cream or cool whip & a spoon.  YUMMO!

I’ve joined a team of bloggers that ♥ Accuquilt

As many of you know, we are using our GO! cutter for our 12 month Block of the Month Club this year.  Each of our 12 blocks are die cut with the GO! and include full color instructions for construction written by yours truly.  Here are a few of those blocks:

We have also used other GO! dies for some completed quilts:

(above) Used the tumbler block for a rag quilt

(above) Used the 8.5” rag die for this baby quilt

(above) LOVED using the apple core die for this lap quilt.

We will keep sharing more projects & tips.  Be sure to keep checking back.

Make your own personalized twill tape

I found this awesome inspiring post a couple months ago, gathered supplies & am JUST NOW getting to play.
I thought that it would be really nice to add a message to the ribbon on my packaging, So I used a page of Print & Press from my stash, & picked up some Wrights 1/2” twill tape.  Little investment in the event this project was too cumbersome (which it is totally NOT).

In Word, I used the Word Art feature for the text http://www.fabricsnquilts.com/ & then rotated the image 180 degrees. This command is in the Microsoft Word Art Toolbar.  I just copied & pasted the word art box on a new line as many times as it would fit.  Then ran the page through my printer twice, once for each column (which is why the print is in different directions). 
 
I cut one out for practice & Ta-Da!  What a cute fat quarter bundle!

Do not think this is spam, for as excited as I am, we want to scream & shout, Dr. Seuss is what it’s all about!

Ok, so the rhyme is a stretch, but you must admit a good Dr. Seuss rhyme will take you back to either your childhood, or your children’s, or both!

We are excited to offer you your choice of the collection to be released this spring by Robert Kaufman.

22 fabrics with all your favorite Dr. Seuss Characters.  We offer a 10% discount on all pre-orders, and quantities are limited, so you need to ‘hop like pop’ over and check these out. 

 

Thing 1 told Thing 2 you wouldn’t do it….who are you going to let win?

A New Thread Display

Inspired by reusing items on hand to bring organization to our every eclectic thread offering, I repurposed 2 antique ironing boards and some golf tees.

 

Yeah, I think they are cool.  The one on the right already had holes drilled for steam, so it was a good model for me to get the spacing just perfect for the board on the left.  Looks like I get to go thread shopping again; I see empty pegs!

Fig & Plum Reversible Table Runner

I love this collection by Fig Tree & Co for Moda.  Last year I made a disappearing 9 patch throw and last week found bits & pieces of left over blocks.  So I cut the necessary bits to finish this table runner for my mom for her birthday.

 

I used the leftover strips of fabric from the squares I added to piece the back of the runner & make it reversible.

Yes, she loved it, but like most moms, she wouldn’t have said anything else.  Happy Birthday Mom!

Round Robin

I think Round Robins are about the most fun thing a quilter can do with a group of friends.

I am currently participating in an online robin and just had to show my addition to the first block.

Here is what I received:

 

I set a disappearing 9 patch in the corner of the setting triangles and brought the brighter blue fabric from the setting squares into a thin border, taking the original block off point.

So I wonder, will the next person put it back on point or ???

I wonder what is happening to my block right now…oh the suspense!
