received coupons for some free products made by kroger brand private selections barbeque chicken pizza was the first one and it was very greasy soaked through a paper towel once that was taken care of the taste was really good it s a thin pizza so extra crispy not really big enough for 3 servings though see not even as big as a bounty select a size paper towel next up is the chicken trumpets appetizer these were yummy but once again very small portion sizes the dessert we picked was mini eclairs which we took to christmas eve at julie s i didn t get a picture of them they were mini all right but very tasty i m not sure if i would purchase these at their regular prices although i did get a great deal when i got them as kroger was running a promotion were you got 3 off your next order

wright the quilter i collected 19 handmade and 31 purchased placemats at the meeting bright and early this morning i delivered them to our local meals on wheels office for distribution today with

this is the seventh quilt i ve quilted for virginia this fall she s been very busy making quilts and sewing pj s for christmas i was planning to quilt something different in the flame blocks and do the borders separately but when i saw the mini ebb panto on jill s blog i knew i was going to use ebb and flow for this one it s supposed to be water but i think it sure resembles the flames and pulls the whole quilt together posted by ruthie at 5 00 pm 2 comments labels ebb and tide racing quilt virginia alice s christmas quilt alice made this design as you go quilt for her granddaughter s boyfriend she had some blocks already made and used some great border fabrics to make a very nice christmas quilt echo holly and poinsetta is the quilting design i used along with omni safari thread and hobbs 80 10 batting posted by ruthie at 2 07 pm no comments labels alice christmas echo holly poinsettia cindy s blueberry fudge ripple cindy made this lovely quilt for her daughter in law how lucky is she she also customized pillow shams to match it s actually called raspberry fudge ripple but since it s blue i renamed it for my blog she wanted it quilted just like the pattern showed which is stitch in the ditch lots of it look how the straight stitching creates this star i purchased the stencil the pattern designer used but after trying it out i decided that i didn t like it spent about 4 hours taking the stitching out and went with my easy peasy bumpy feathers posted by ruthie at 1 59 pm 3 comments labels cindy saundra s t shirt quilt saundrea made this for her adult son and it s the first ever quilt for her she had heard of t shirt quilts and stopped at rossville quilts one day early this year to find out if they could help her they pointed her in my direction and she came over with boxes of t shirts i showed her the fusible interfacing and how to get started she came back a few months later with nice fused 12 5 blocks and we talked about adding sashing between the blocks off to rossville quilts she went to get fabric for sashing she brought the completed top along with a pieced backing of sweatshirt fabric and we decided on a meander there are some very thick seams where the backing is pieced so i had to be real careful in those areas when she picks it up she will get a lesson on binding which i m sure she will do a great job on didn t she do a wonderful job i hope this is the beginning of a wonderful quilting hobby for her and i m excited to show it to her posted by ruthie at 7 04 am no comments labels saundra t shirt quilt sunday december 11 2011
