Restless...

Brynwood Needleworks - Coffee Pouch Front

I don't know about you, but when I'm restless, I move furniture around. I doesn't happen as much as it used to in my younger days, perhaps because I'm much more settled now than I was then. It's a good thing, too, because I ache more afterward now than I used to. When did that start? 

I moved a pair of my organizers from the studio closet into the studio (next to my cutting table). Then, I stocked a few of the compartments with my handbag/wallet hardware so everything would be more handy.

I didn't take photos last night, so I can't show you until I can get daylight pictures.

Brynwood Needleworks - Coffee Pouch Back

I did manage to sew up a coffee-themed pouch for a special friend. She can use it for her knitting/crochet projects...or anything else her little heart desires. It will be in the mail soon!

Our guild board traditionally serves snacks for our Annual Meeting (which was Tuesday past). Even the outgoing officers have to bring something. I had seen this little video on FaceBook a couple of weeks ago and decided this would be my contribution.

It was a big hit, with many ladies asking for the recipe. Not only did it taste delicious, the smell while cooking was out of this world! I came home with an empty slow cooker (and whipped cream can). Here's a typed version, so you can just copy and paste it to print out:

Slow Cooker Apple Spice Cake

2-20 ounce cans Apple Pie Filling 

1 pkg. Spice Cake Mix

2 sticks butter

Instructions:

Spread apple pie filling in the bottom of a slow cooker.

Sprinkle cake mix on top of pie filling. Place butter sticks 

on top of cake mix. (I like to cut them into segments to place

them on the mix.) Cook in slow cooker (High setting) 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

Serve - hot or cooled -  with ice cream or whipped cream.

Enjoy!

Perfect For The Wanderlust...

 UPDATE:
I wanted to share a photo of my new quilt installed in the Flying Cloud.
The color scheme fits perfectly with the upholstery on the cushions.

 In case you're interested, I used the small polka dots fabric from Deb Strain's 

Cherish Nature line for the curves. The balance of the fabrics (including the 

coffee cup fabric) were from Deb Strain's Bistro line from Moda. These lines

are at least four years old, and were favorites from my fabric stash.

 I finished "Coffee Drunk"!

I really didn't want another UFO sitting in the studio. I wanted to

finish it in time for our Tuesday evening guild meeting, and I got

close. The only thing that wasn't done was applying the binding.

quilt front

 I took photos prior to the binding going on (it matches

the sashing between the blocks), because I wanted you

to be able to see how "drunk" the pattern looks! lol

Quilt back

 The really cool thing about this quilt is that you can only 

control the design on the front. The back becomes completely

random, but it doesn't look that way on mine (too much).

Handsome really likes this one. He said that we should use it

as a really cool table quilt in the Flying Cloud. Brilliant idea!

It will fit right in with our decor in the camper, and it's a perfect

use for my completed class quilt. I'll update this post later today

by taking a picture of the quilt installed in the Airstream.

Now to tackle the next project calling to me...
