Asparagus & The Cost of Groceries, and the Current Quilt from caledonia quilter

FOOD

I'm currently at the beginning of a couple months where I will pick asparagus every day.

This week I've made:

GREEN CURRY CHICKEN WITH ASPARAGUS DH and I don't find it hot, but if you're not used to cooking with a curry paste you may have a different experience.

ASPARAGUS & CHEDDAR QUICHE (this freezes quite nicely, and I use a homemade pie crust).

I have to admit to being SHOCKED when I saw this...

Holy Mackerel! $7.99??? I had to employ my mental coping technique of adding an imaginary question mark.

Apparently this will ...

A Winter Quilt & A Donation from caledonia quilter

This is a beautiful quilt made from a panel. As you know, Winter Is Coming.

I love this gal's work. She cut up the panel, did some math, made lots of patchwork, then put it all together.

Even the back is lovely.

Back in the spring my friend and I were horrified about what was happening in Ukraine, and we decided to put our stashes together and make a quilt for donation.

Here's the final product.

A closeup of the quilting - sunflowers.

I also made some placemats to go with the quilt.

I'm pleased to say that ...

New Collection of UFO's in 2022 from caledonia quilter

I'm sitting on the back patio, 8:30 on Friday evening. Current temp is 24c with a feels like 30c. Saturday and Sunday are both forecast to be 30c with a feels like 40c. Given a choice between this heat or late January temps of -20c I will take this. In the wilting heat of the day I'll stay inside and do whatever is on my necessary list but as it cools down a bit in the late afternoon I'm back outside. I'm blaming this love of summer for my new little crop of UFO's ...

A Day In The Life (or five weeks worth of days) from caledonia quilter

I'm reading Her Turn by Katherine Ashenburg. It's a good book, and I noticed that each chapter represents a week. Since I haven't posted in quite a while I thought I'd borrow that format.

Feb 6 - 12

I started the week by giving myself another covid haircut. I was due for a proper cut at the beginning of January, but it's not like anyone cares what I look like. 37 years married...if you get my drift. Most of the time DH is happy if he notices that my shoes are still in the closet ...

Let's Get Caught Up, Shall We? from caledonia quilter

Oh, fer crying out loud. Now Blogger has gone and changed the posting format. I hope this all comes out the way it usually does...

This started out as a bunch of butterfly blocks from a guild Block Of The Month. Whoever won the blocks donated them back to the guild. I thought (?) I had given all the guild donation quilt stuff to the new chair of those projects, but apparently my organizational skills are not what they should be.

I had a cute lilac print in my stash that worked well with the blocks. I needed to add some ...

Entertainment During The Pandemic, UFO's, Quilt Ideas, Local Happenings from caledonia quilter

SCHEDULING UPDATE
At the moment I still have seven quilts here that I will be working on. As they're ready I'll contact you and arrange a porch pickup.
I am not taking in any quilts until the provincial restriction on non-essential businesses has been lifted. I realize you might find that to be an inconvenience, but as a rule I do what the "people in charge" tell me to do. Depending on how long this situation persists it might mean your booking in May gets delayed until Julember, or whenever. With all the UFO's that are being ...

I have obviously been M.I.A. ...almost a month since I last posted? Well, let me catch you up.

Oh, such a beautiful embroidered topper... tablecloth?

The maker is such a wonderful woman, she embroidered my name on there too.

Jelly Roll Heart Quilt & New Year's Happenings (1 UFO down...) from caledonia quilter

This is a lovely, modern Jelly Roll quilt.

I really like the way the pantograph echoes the heart shape.

On New Years Day I stuck with my traditional activity - a friend came over, we stitched the afternoon away, then had Chinese Food for supper.
I started the year off by putting these UFO blocks together - this was a Block of the Month project at the Caledonia guild in 2016/2017. After I completed the blocks I decided I was tired of the colours - I think I have too much red/yellow/blue in my house these days.

I completed the ...
