Patchwork?

Although I don't need any fabric, I've been spinning my wheels a bit when it comes to smaller quilted projects. I already have two more bed-size quilts I've planned to do this year that I haven't started, so that's more than enough. I've been looking for smaller project inspiration, and saw this lot of fabric and patchwork, much of it in Mom's favorite color. I get the sense this was a UFO stash someone gave up on.

This was a small project, maybe, that never got finished. The dimensions are right for a table topper.

The squares sewn together might be a runner or pillow cover.

I suspect there are two more pieced projects here that need finishing, too. I decided to bid on it and won the lot, so when it arrives we'll see if I'm right.

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.
