Sunday, May 25, 2008 Saturday at our place Posted in Quilting A beautiful autumn day - sun was streaming on dinning room table - so I just had to sew. - But I had to get past the Celts first. I finished Sarah's Choice - this block just came together & I think possibly is my favourite so far out of the blocks. I had popped in a loaf of fruit bread in bead maker - the house smelt yummy. This whole loaf got gobbled up I had to make another. I wish I could find a way to cut fresh bread - my slices are always huge & wonky. Fruit Bread 3 teaspoons sugar 3 teaspoons yeast 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon cinnamon 3 cups flour 1 1/4 cup warm water 2 tablespoons olive oil Pop in bread maker - fruit bread setting. Add as much mixed fruit as like - about 2 cups. When bread maker asks for it. I had to finish ours off in oven as Bread maker got turned off in error - no problem. Just popped in bread loaf tin & bake in hot oven 200 deg c for 30 mins. I'm pleased to say that today I  finished off all the blocks of Abbey's Mary Igalls quilt. After spending a good amount of time unpicking the blocks - If I ever decided to tackle this pattern again I would use the easy pattern Mary shares. I just don't seem to see patterns well.....So another quilt now waiting for me to go to shops & buy it some sashing, backing & filling. MMM all up to date with sewing what am I to do.... should be working on winter quilt - but instead I got cutting in scraps & cut more 1 1/2 inch strips & made some more log cabin blocks. - Will snap a photo & pop on blog tomorrow. I might get a bit of sewing done again Sunday - I am on a mission to get quilts on every bed in the house this year. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend!

I think it is so fun/neat that we are all making quilt blocks and we are all over the world. • Permanent Link Monday, May 26, 2008 - CUTTING BREAD Posted by Anonymous Hi the best way that I have found to cut cooked bread is to use a electric bread knife I was having the same problem until I was given one as a presant. • Permanent Link Thursday, May 29, 2008 - Thanks Ladies Posted by TheGoodLife Thanks for popping in & saying hi. Yes I too think the internet is a wonderful thing (wouldn't like to live without it now) And I think it's awesome that Crazy mom Quilts is kind enough to organise & share for FREE a lovely quilt for anyone around the world to make. I believe what goes around comes around - I sure hope Crazy mom is blessed hugely by her gift. An electric knife is on my need list next time I see it on sale. Thanks for tip.
