The Jelly Roll 1,600 Quilt and blog update

 

I got this from my friend Lisa on facebook. She finished a jelly roll quilt at her quilt guild meeting. You can find out more about the technique and complete instructions at http://blog.heirloomcreations.net/

Here is my version with a few changes. I cut my strips 3" inches wide instead of the 2.5" and added a border.  I can see why this would be so much fun to do as a  quilt guild project.

I did not purchase a Jelly Roll but cut my strips 3 inches wide from yardage.

At the machine joining the strips like seewing binding together.

A whole lotta strips joined end to end.

My completed Jelly Roll quilt.  Its's white on white and a Christmas gift.

You may have noticed that I have not posted in several months. When I started this blog I said I would post monthly. I love blogging but think I will post less frequently and include more content within a blog post.

This baby boomer is proud to say I received my Medicare card in the mail.  I am shouting praises for coming this far by faith. Happy holidays to you and yours.

Peace, love, and art,

My Garden Patch

It feels like an eternity before I will get fruit on my Better Boy tomato plant. It takes about
70 days from time of planting to harvest. Hopefully in a few more weeks I will enjoy my homegrown tomatoes.

Homemade Vin d' Orange

I made a batch of Vin d' Orange a french wine for the holiday. This is a step back in time of my
wine and brewski making days. The recipe is very simple and all it takes is a little prep work and
time since it has to age for several weeks. But it is worth the wait. I will be sipping Vin d' orange
and eating Memphis barbecue over the holiday. If  you want to try making it click on  Resources and look for it under How To's. Yummy.
