Cobbling

I've been saving three triangles of a beautiful watercolor print fabric that came in a recycled bundle for a time when I needed some inspiration. Thing is, what can you make out of three triangles? So I added a swatch of hand dyed recycled fabric that I thought went nicely with it, and pulled a lavender silk ribbon I've also had squirreled away.

I needed a project bag for myself, so I decided to cobble everything together to quilt and embroider with some holographic Sulky and some variegated perle thread.

The bag turned out really pretty, and just the right size for a small summer project I'm planning to do this month.

Since I give away almost everything I make I do not feel guilty putting this together for me. :)

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
