Lego quilt

I am still working on sewing up my processed scraps.  I sew until I use all of that size scrap.  Then I put the piece in a basket to iron later.  I am very behind in my ironing.  Maybe one day I will feel like ironing, but not this week.  I really do like doing this quilt. 

I hope to get inspired to iron soon.  I have probably 15 scrap centers of quilts to iron, then see if I have scraps for borders.  I am trying to sew all the fabric I have before I buy any more.

Can you guess?

Can you guess which one of these sweethearts are keeping me from finishes?  Ahhh, so worth it.  Yes, this is how most pictures looks, can you tell he is teething.

Small finishes, pickled peppers

I had been wanting to make peppers for when we have guests over for salad.  These were on sale, so I picked up a bag.  I added garlic to the jar.  These have been a great hit with the guys.  They do taste different then banana peppers, so they are a nice suprise.  My daughters has a couple of jalapeno plants, we are hoping to be able to pickle some soon.  Actually, we are like vultures waiting for them to ripen.

Lego quiltm making progress

This is my second lego quilt.  I love doing them in long strips.  I considered doing the 12 inch blocks, but they kinda made me dizzy.  I do love the long thin strips.  I haven't picked a border, need to iron first.  Who's least favorite part of sewing in IRONING, not my favorite thing.  I have been know to pay teenagers to iron my quilts, but I don't have any teenagers who need mad money these days. 

Small Finish

 

 

 

Well, its a start.  I haven't posted in so long.  Work, family, grandbaby, dr appts.  We all know the drill.  I hav been able to sew a little. 

 

I have worked on organizing a little.  I want to get everything in order so I can spend less time cleaning and more time sewing blankets for babies.  I love, love, love, sewing tiny little blankets for sew little ones. 

 

This is actually a tiny baby washrag crocheted out of 100 percent cotton, American made.  I love American made.  Use it when I can.  Actually its wonderful for babies to hold, and chew on while mommie has the one with the soap.  I love this thread.  Crochet seems to be coming back.

Cheez it - gluten free

As you all know, I can't eat gluten, sad face here.  Well, the other nite, it was bothering me that I couldn't eat anything easy.  I did find a cracker recipe, and tried it with gluten free flour.  yum  was worth the little bit of time it too.

Even the family liked them.  Well the little I was willing to share.
 
1/2 soft butter
2 cups shredded cheese
1 cup gluten free flour mix, all purpose
1 teaspoon salt

Mix, roll, bake.  

Rag rug

Well I have been looking at rag rugs on Pinterest.  I was looking at the base to make one.  I decided to just buy an old rug kit at Carehelp.  I found a nice sealed box in great condition.  I was very excited until I opened the box.  Yup, it had been started.  It will take me forever to unpick it.  I think I will just try to find another one.
