Salute the Stars- 2014-Bloggers Quilt Festival
I am excited about joining the Bloggers Quilt Festival hosted by " Amy's Creative Side".
My entry "Salute the Stars" is in the Large Quilt Category
Machine pieced and quilted to share at my quilt guild xmas party, our party was cancelled due to inclement weather last year and was I disappointed.
The quilt measure 52.5"x70.5" and is made using various quilting cottons.
You can read about one of the star blocks in this quilt called "Annie's Choice" here
Thank you to Amy for hosting the festival and to the sponsors for their generosity.
Now relax and enjoy viewing and reading about all the quilts you see.
I am linking this post up here and here
Peace, love, and art.

Quilt Guild Xmas Party
Our quilt guild Christmas party is Saturday. I am taking these along for festive party food. I bought the ingredients today and since they are so quick and easy to make I can prepare them just before leaving. I found the recipe here.

Cucumber Cups Stuffed with Spicy Crab Dip
3 large cucumbers
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cream cheese
3/4 cup crab meat, excess water removed
1 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1 tsp. brown mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1tbs. minced onion green onion
Remove peel from cucumber using vegetable peeler. Cut cucumber into 2 inch slices. Use a small melon baller to scoop out most of the inside of the cucumber. Leave walls and a thick portion of bottom intact.
In a bowl combine sour cream and cream cheese with a fork until well combined, add the remainig ingredients and stir until combine. Fill each of cucumber cups with crab dip. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve within 2 hours of making.
And this is the Block of the Month I made for showing in the viewers choice award. Already had the red and green batik which I loved so much when I purchased it I bought 1 yard. But I needed a second fabric so I purchased 1/4 yard of the red and green dots. I was attempting to make a modern version of the block called "Annie's Choice" and I really think it worked up great.
This kicks off my holidays. And I hope to hear about yours.
Peace, love , and art,
Angela
