Quilts I've Made

Today is the end of the world, right? At least it will according to some religious person from South Africa (there are so many end-times prophecies that I get these confused, sorry if I'm wrong about the source.) Must be the tenth or eleventh time I've gone through the end of the world, and the world kept going. Fingers crossed it's just another bunch of crap being used to bludgeon people with someone else's beliefs.

Some reassurance for those who are troubled by this latest prediction: 100% of the end of the world predictions before this one were wrong. There was another religious person who predicted the end of the world twelve different times, and was wrong every single time. My advice? Don't worry about it and live your life. Why worry about something you can't do anything about or stop? Living your life, which definitely will end someday, is much more sensible.

Anyway, since I don't believe it's the end of the world, I'm putting together an album of all the quilts I've made since I began taking pictures of my work. I'm not including smaller projects, more like wall-hanging or larger. I'm also not including quilts made by others that I've finished or repaired. This is just my work, and in most cases, my original designs and patterns. You'll also see a few quilts like this one I made from my old t-shirts following instructions from a project book, or variations on quilt patterns like Atkinson Design's Yellow Brick Road, which I've made about twenty times.

Right now I have half of 2017 through 2025 in the album here but there will gradually be more as I go through my photo archives and upload the pics of quilts past. I've been doing this for over thirty years now. :)

Added: It's 9/24 and golly, the world didn't end. Again. Not a surprise.

Added: It's 9/25 and nope, the world didn't end yesterday, either. Just in case you were giving it another day like the rest of the bludgeoned. Stop listening to these people, please.

Make It Yourself

As we head into December, here are ten ideas for easy handmade gifts: Cookie Exchange: If you live close to your friends invite them over for a cookie exchange. Basically everyone bakes a set amount of their favorite cookies, and these are exchanged at the gathering by lottery, sharing a little from each batch with everyone, or however you want to do it. You can also exchange recipes, too. My neighbor did this once and it was wonderful. Favorite Recipe Cookbook : For my favorite person I found a copy of my favorite cookbook from a vintage bookseller (yes, I am that old) and went through it making notes on all the recipes I used, how I tweaked them, etc. Ornament: There are probably a million free tutorials on how to make your own holiday ornaments, so do some research online. I like to make hanging pomanders , which smell heavenly and are biodegradable after the holidays. Mug Rugs: If you sew, making up a set of mug rugs is simple and easy; I add these every year to my ...

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.
