Yellow Only

My art quilter's bingo challenge of using only the color yellow prompted me to buy a couple of lots of vintage crazy quilt fabrics in preparation. I'll use only the yellow fabrics and possibly the trims from this one.

This is the other lot. Since the challenge is yellow only I'll take out anything with other colors, but I do intend to use all shades of yellow, including gold.

I'm planning to do a piece with pears, so I went to Hotpot.ai's art generator to get some ideas. This image it generated is helpful, but I think I'll try something else. Stay tuned to see what I design for the project.

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.
