The Most Amazing Thing

Jan, Thanks so much for the apple dip recipe, I made it and everyone love it. I was sorry I missed you guys in May and June. I heard from Vicki that you had fun with red=) Here is what I have been up to:



Here is the finished (notice the binding that was finished on the way to Show Low) quilt from our exchange last summer=)
The machine quilting is by Kit.



I also finished this felted wool project, after I don't know how many years.



The most amazing thing happened: I went to pick up the quilt from Kit that she had machine quilted for me, you know, the one we did last year with the challenge fabric. Anyway, she gave me 12 perfectly stitched blocks and some extra fabric and said, 'Make this for your sisters group home. Bring back the top when you are finished and I will quilt it.' Isn't that amazing? The next amazing thing is that I didn't have an idea in my head, well I had one and it was BORING. I looked at the QR and found nothing, but Trish said, 'Wouldn't it be great to find a black that would work?' So, at Zoe's Mary helped me put together this amazing little quilt top that I don't want to give away=) But, I will.



This is another amazing project... Peg and Sally, or was it Glenna, won (earned) these blocks from the Zoe's challenge. It was a challenge because most of the blocks were not 12.5 inches square, so I clut them to 12.25" and made it big enough for a queen sized bed. This quilt also goes to the Lura Turner Homes in Phoenix.

Fruit Dip

3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
8 oz cream cheese (I used lite cream cheese spread in the tub)
1 t. vanilla
heath bits

Mix together- just before serving add heath bits
Good with apples, but also good with other fruit (strawberries, etc)
To keep apples from going brown soak cut apples in lemon lime soda

More projects,

Cristi's sweet baby stoled the show (was her name Kimber? I am so so forgetful)

May 2008 Quilt Group

Wonderful Quilts!! We had a great time. We missed those that couldn't make it. Peg and Glenna are planning a great Redwork project possibly on the last Thursday in June.

Two Cute Quilts

These are my two new 8 year old grand kids Abby and Jake. I make a quilt for them when they turn 8. It doesn't matter how fancy, they love them. Glenna

Peg's "Music Man"

"I always think there's a band kid!"
Music Man! So finally tonight we start the production week that has been in progress for well... since just after Thanksgiving. It's preview night!I've been kinda directing and my right arm and mega Producer and especially friend, has been Delia Alston. To say the least it has been a ride. My friend, Kathryn Tellef, is the Choir teacher @ Taylor Jr. High and does a wonderful job of getting a great sound and Candice Huffaker has been the choreographer - so great. These ladies and so many more (that it would be unfair to name) have come together and made this a great show. Any who would like a nice evening out might consider "The Music Man" as a fun get away. Who knows... next week I might vacuum or dust! Naaah!All reserved seats are $5.oo and are available @ 924-1832 or email : j_d_buehrle@yahoo.comWed. -Fri. 7:00 p.m. and Sat. 2:oo matinee only

Peg has extra tickest for Wed. night. I think I will go that night again. I tool 9 grandkids Monday night. We loved it. (Even when Peg stopped the show because the Mayor started laughing and made the quartet laugh.

Peg runs a tight ship.

Great show, if you want to go Wed. callme or Peg.

New Project

My newest project is cutting up Adam's cotton shirts into 6 inch squares. I am making him a quilt for his bed for when he returns home in April. My Sister Sally helped me get started. We took these shirts out on the back porch and we cut up about 20 shirts that day. If you have any 100% cotton shirts you don't need, bring them to our next quilt group.
