Hello again ...
... thank you all so much for the help with my butter. Now I have the answer, I will be able to make all sorts of yummy looking things. I started by making some Snickerdoodles, using Sunny's mother's recipe, which she kindly sent me. I took some with me the next day when I went to play with my friends J and F, and we ate them all within a very short space of time, so there are no photos I'm afraid. They were absolutely delicious, thanks Sunny,
On Saturday I went to a Sew-In day with a fairly new group called the Yorkshire Modern Quilt Guild. This is a new group, started by my friend QuiltHaze, and a friend of hers, and this was only the second meeting of the group. There were about 14 of us and it was great fun. Most people had brought some show and tell items, but guess who forgot her camera? Still, if you follow the link above, you can see photos there. Most of the day we all worked on our own projects, chatted and ate cake - one of the members, Liz, brought some delicious cakes for us all. I made two blocks over the course of the day, and managed to get one of them wrong! I've shown both of them in the photo though, so you can see how they will go together to make diamonds in the quilt. Anyone think the fabrics look familiar?

The fabrics, I do believe are what you are not using for the Country Charmer. My pattern still has not arrived. It looks an interesting pattern, I'll be watching for more.
ReplyDeletethere does seem to be a lot of "cake action" at present :}
ReplyDeleteI love Snickerdoodles! Great choice!
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks and the fabrics. I love pink and orange together!
Sounds like fun. Why is it that quilting and eating go together? Love, love the diamond.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the snickerdoodles were delish. I love the way the new blocks look in your fabrics.
ReplyDeleteSounds like great fun. Our little group is having a quilt retreat next week for a couple of days. I've been preparing quilts to bind and a Chevron quilt to assemble. I love getting together with quilting friends....always lots of laughter and food and quilts to share.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a Giveaway....come on over and check it out.
Loving the diamond block...is it paper pieced? Where is the pattern?
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting block, it's going to be fun to see how this grows up into a quilt! Congrats on your friend's new group, it sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I think it is so unique - I bet as a whole quilt it will be wonderful. I do like the modern look of it.
