Cooking, Books and the Bird Quilt from From My Carolina Home

On the veranda, the parsley survived transplanting and I’m already using the leaves in dishes. In fact, I have been actively looking for dishes that will highlight the fresh flavor they give to meat entrees and vegetable sides.

Turning the pages in the World in a Skillet cookbook from Milk Street (now on sale for $23.95), I came across this mouth watering photo. That is cilantro in the recipe, but fresh parsley works just as well. It is mixed with green onions, jalapenos, and rice vinegar. The fresh green mixture is a garnish and not cooked. I decided ...

Quilt Reveal: Be a Peacock in a World of Ducks from High Road Quilter

 

 
I was watching an episode of Quilt Nerd by Mary Fons which featured Liberty of London fabrics and one of the photos included a quilt of a peacock in a tree made with Liberty fabrics. It was one of those quilts I just had to make.



I don't have any Liberty fabric so when I went to the Cave of Wonders I was handed the same stack of fabric that I used to make my last peacock quilt, BeUnique. Copying the style or mood of last peacock quilt wasn't what I had in mind, but it's never ...

Aprils Block ~ Baltimore Oriole from Quilt Doodle Doodles

It's April! Spring is around the corner, I'm sure of it! Or so I hope, we did have sleet and snow over the last couple of days and our driveway is a skating rink! I can only hope for warmer weather soon! I'm ready to break out the capri pants and flip flops, LOL!

This month's block is a special one, a Baltimore Oriole. My dad loved to see them visit, he always had grape jelly set out for them. My sister gets her Oriole's about two weeks before I see mine. I know when ...

March's Block from Quilt Doodle Doodles


 Welcome March! This month's block features a couple of House Sparrows. They are a sweet little bird that I can always count on to visit my bird feeders. The block is adorned with a couple of daffodils and a few shamrocks for luck. Let me assure you, there are no daffodils blooming in Minnesota this time of year. Sometimes you just have to create your own spring flowers by either buying them at the store or stitching them up on a quilt block.

 This month's pattern is a free PDF instant download. (Unless you are asking me to ...

Quilt Reveal: Flight from High Road Quilter

 

I tried to avoid temptation by not looking to see what the challenge for Project Quilting was for this week. I want to finish a quilt.

But I won a prize from Project Quilting last week, and I accidentally copied and pasted my 15-minutes-to-stitch stats last week without deleting the sentence that said I was working on the Project Quilting challenge. So what else could I do? I had to take a peek to see how hard it would be do do.


The challenge seems easy enough - silhouette. 

Birds learn how to fly, never knowing where the flight will take ...
