oh baby
went to a baby shower last week. finally got to give this quilt to its new owners. here's the card i made using the new Michael's $1.50 stamps
and a reminder, tempting tuesday is next week!
blossom
i'm thrilled with how this one turned out. this is the biggest customer quilt i've done. i used an Aurifil thread and Blossom quilting pattern by Lorien Designs. i loved the *movement* in the pattern-was fun to quilt
here's a close up-will have to take another as this one is very blurry
double the fun
finished up the baby quilts i started when we were on holidays. by not reading the instructions, i ended up cutting enough fabric for a twin sized quilt(not sure how i had that much fabric as i did buy for the baby quilt size lol) so i ended up with 2 boy quilts and 2 girl ones. i did end up running out of the jungle print in the boy quilts-not enough for borders on both quilts. so i put it on the top and bottom of each quilt and will pick up one of the greens in the print to finish off the sides. this boy quilt has an orange inner border, the other one has the royal blue.
funnily enough, i had enough fabric to finish off the girl quilts. its amazing how using the same pattern and just different colors can make the quilts look so different. the girl quilt is really large, the border was supposed to be 6.5inches-i cute it 3.75 and i may trim it down a bit more. i love how soft the girl quilt turned out and the brightness of the boys. with finishing these, i now have 7 of my own projects waiting to be longarm quilted-i'm getting very swamped lol!
snack saturday
one of my favorite summer recipes. and just to let you know, last weeks Snack Saturday was delicious! i made if for a baby shower this week and it was a hit
Fruit Trifle
36 NILLA Wafers(i've used white cake and just cubed it)
2 Tbsp. orange-flavored liqueur or orange juice
3 cups seasonal fresh fruit, such as sliced peeled kiwi, blueberries and/or sliced strawberries
3 cups cold milk
2 pkg.Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
1 pkg. (6 squares) White Baking Chocolate, melted, cooled slightly
1 tub (8 oz.) Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
BREAK wafers coarsely into 2-1/2-qt. clear glass serving bowl. Sprinkle with liqueur; top with layers of fruit.
POUR milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Refrigerate until pudding starts to thicken. Add chocolate; stir with wire whisk until well blended. Gently stir in half of the whipped topping. Spoon over fruit; top with the remaining whipped topping.
REFRIGERATE at least 30 min. or up to 24 hours before serving. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.
grumble grumble
did my first customer quilt in a while today. the quilt was not put together well(lots of fullness, backing *just* fit the quilt, borders not straight) it was a real challenge! i'm not going to show you a full picture of the quilt lol. i quilted it using Wrought Iron by WillowLeaf
