A Brand New Favorite
My taste in fabric runs from contemporary to reproduction and everything in between.

South Carolina Snow Surprise!
Last night, while enjoying a nice dinner at home, the snow kept falling. It started around 4 p.m. and didn't stop. I've been wishing and praying for snow . . . a very rare occurrence in South Carolina . . .
This morning, with blue skies and lots of sunshine, it began to melt . . .
And I really enjoyed the gift of seeing my beloved snow!

Keepsake Quilting has Fleur Vivant Kit
Last October, we gave you a sneak-peek at an upcoming pattern using RJR Fabrics new line called Harlequin. After making the quilt, it took a quick trip to Keepsake Quilting to be photographed for their catalog (photo courtesy of Keepsake Quilting):
Keepsake Quilting is now selling kits to make this quilt, which includes one of our newest patterns for 2010, called: Fleur Vivant. Fleur Vivant will come in the yellow/black colorway, as shown, and a red/black colorway, as well. Both patterns (only - no kits) will be available on our website, very soon! We have a few more patterns we will officially release at the same time. They will include two patterns we're featuring with Moda Fabrics, so please check back for more information.
Our Block-of-the-Month for 2009 came to an end in December. Due to the studio being closed for most of January, our final pattern instructions on how to finish the quilt top will be available to our BOM Club Members before the patterns are released this month!

No it's not . . . . REALLY?!
I cannot believe it is already January 25. Really?! Wow . . .

Hope you all had a fabulous holiday and I wish each and every one of you a prosperous and memorable New Year!

A Lovely Day of Thanks
We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with our neighbors, yesterday. The turkey came out perfectly!
Our menu consisted of herb roasted turkey, spiral-cut smoked ham, cranberry orange salad (sister-in-law Debra's recipe), my mom's recipes for broccoli waldorf salad and peas with mushrooms, onions, and bacon, my mother-in-law's recipe for sweet potato casserole, and my recipe for garlic and fresh basil smashed potatoes.
Husband, Erv, made me a piece of salmon, since I do not eat meat. It was awesome! He marinated it in olive oil and spices, then gilled it. Oh, was it good! Our neighbor, Todd, made a delicious cabbage dish from his Cajun background that I've never heard of, and it was the perfect addition. Since we've deemed him "King of the Roux", he made our turkey gravy. We also tried frozen rolls for the first time, by a local entrepreneur: Sister Schubert's Clover Leaf style dinner rolls, and they were as good as homemade. My mom makes rolls similar to these, that was my grandmother's recipe (I really should try to make them one day!).
The broccoli waldorf salad never made it out of the refrigerator. There always seems to be something that doesn't make it to the table, each year. It's a flavorful salad made with broccoli florets, diced apple, raisins, pecans, and a dressing made from canola oil, balsamic vinegar, and sugar. I usually give it a quick swirl of olive oil, too, for a bit of extra flavor.
Dessert consisted of my grandmother's recipe for homemade pumpkin pie (I made 2 on Wednesday night), and a pecan pie, and an apple pie. We topped it all off with French roast coffee and Frangelico.
Hope you had a lovely day, too!
