My first pecan pie!

Here it is! My first ever pecan pie made with maple syrup instead of corn syrup!!!

Christmas Gift

This is the beginning of Papa Koues Christmas quilt. The borders need to be added. Husband has found a new calling as quilt holder and it struck me as odd that the quilt has the same color scheme as my house. Hmmm.

In other news, far away cousin reminded me that I have a beautiful deep pie dish. I decided to use it to make a pecan pie with maple syrup instead of corn syrup. I hope it tastes just as wonderful.

Today is Erin Day!

I have been wanting to make a romantic almost year round quilt for a long time. The only issue is that it cost a lot of money. Dear Husband insisted we have a king size bed so now I have to make a mammoth king size quilt. Look sideways at the quilt I plan to make. I can't wait to start cutting.

Frank Senior's Christmas quilt

JoAnn's was having a mega sale today. I got Frank's dad's quilt fabrics. I'm doing a simple four patch like this one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sewingdaisies/4451529601/sizes/o/in/photostream/
The fabrics are in the washer now!

Our newly painted house!

Fall is finally here!

The pie pumpkins are out and that means time to freeze and put away. Finally got to use my new mixer wedding present from a very dear friend. Thank you Martha!
