Quilt Wannabuts

It's time for another game of things I want to thrift but only for the minimum bid, the finished quilt edition. I have bid on three different quilts at ShopGoodwill.com which I would like to repair, refurbish and add to my collection, but only if I get them cheap.

This scrappy quilt reminded me of one my mother owned and had me repair constantly; a friend of hers had made it out of polyester clothing fabric. I don't know what happened to Mom's (my siblings probably sold it) but I'd like to have this one as a reminder of her.

This row by row outdoors themed quilt needs some repairs, especially around the raw edged applique pieces. I like the outdoors and I wouldn't mind saving it.

I collect double wedding ring quilts, but I don't have a green and white one. This looks pretty old, and may need some minor repairs. Will I win it or the other two? Stay tuned to the blog to find out.

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.
