It worked!

It may be winter outside but in my heart it is spring......
So I was wishing for sunshine and today it was sunny, sort of, for a little while. So I took my socks off. I had a wonderful quilt day-yes Jane I am on pic 65 of 111. Past the half way mark! I have bought some fabulous wool batting-at least I think it will be fabulous, I will let you know after I quilt it. So I have a new protege-my friend Jenn's daughter Danna is getting the quilt bug. I have started her with something simple-the chop suey quilt. Scraps, scraps and more scraps which I begged from the community quilts commitee of the SA Quilters Guild are being put to good use. Danna and I are going to make some charity quilts and then she is going to do her own quilt. Jenn was working on report cards so Danna and I were busy doing other more fun things. I made chocolate orgasm muffins-no really that is the name of them. I am reading Australian authors this year and the last book I read was by a gal named Kerry Greenwood. The heroine of her books is a baker named Corinna who bakes and solves mysteries. There are always recipes at the end of the book. This one sounded good. I think I am going to have to play with it a bit though I don't think I used enough chocolate. Perhaps I shouldn't have taken those few little bites out of the bar.LOL.

Jane I got my hands on a stack of 5 inch squares-got any ideas for a nickle quilt? Mandy and Anita how are your gardens growing? It's hard to believe that July 1 is just around the corner. I am teaching my possums "Land of the Silver Birch" and have a stash of dulse to share with them this Canada Day. OK I will also share my Ganong Chicken Bones.

Just 2 more weeks til I visit the red center. I can't wait to see the desert. So what are you all up to this summer?
G'day eh!
