Saturday was the 2nd half of my latest Quilting 101 class and I needed a sample to demonstrate adding flanges and bindings. I had this sample block when from when I was prepping for my birthday party so I decided to quilt it up quick to use in class. Now I'll finish the binding my machine and I have a nice little table topper. Oh, who am I kidding, the cats will sit on it more than I'll ever use it on the table...
I also completed another twisted hexie and my February BOM heart. I was a little worried about the choco fabric being too busy but it was my only choice as I couldn't find a coordinating fabric in my stash. In the end, I think it looks fine. They will both be 'finer' when they get a good pressing :)
And last but not least for my weekend report...Tomorrow is the official Bicentennial Launch Party for the town where I work. The party is at the Arts Council across the street from my office. There will be Congressional proclamations, quick speeches, lots of memorabilia on display, local historians to answer questions and we'll be selling our bicentennial calendars. What else does one need for a party? Refreshments of course! Several of us were asked to make cookies so I whipped up my fav Molasses Krinkles. Molasses Crack would probably be more accurate since you can't eat just one. LOL.
Now to decide how many to keep at home for me...1 for the party, 2 for me...
Good way to use up a scrap block. Oh, I love molasses cookies for a good dunk - especially in my morning coffee.
ReplyDeleteI love your chocolate fabric there. And your twisted hexie is great. Longing to see all the blocks together.
ReplyDeleteEven across the Atlantic, I can smell those Krinkles .... Yum

Love the idea of Molasses Crack!! Great to see that there's help out there for us hexi-aholics as I'm just loving working with them at the moment. Your work is beautiful! xCathy
ReplyDeleteI like the way you count. LOL! Send a couple down this way, why don't you! Happy Bicentennial! And I love your little table topper/cat cushy! :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to share your recipe, I tried making some this year and they did not turn out at all, and I have a jar of Ozarks molasses waiting to be used!
ReplyDeleteNice little topper for the kitties!
ReplyDeleteI like both hexie projects--but I especially like those cookies!! : )
your hexie looks a bit 3D very good effect and of course love the twisted one. Very nice piece for the cats to lounge on too!
