I looked at several copy cat recipes for the Starbucks bar and then I adjusted this one to make it a little more cookie than cake texture. You can use the hint at the bottom if you want it to be thicker like the ones they sell at Starbucks. I do a cookie exchange and I love finding bars that I can make in the 1/2 sheet pan. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and friends.</div>

This is made simply with a Halloween charm pack that was sashed. The witches were designed by my son to add a little more personality. The leader and the caboose are both in a dark purple and the center witch is a black sparkle fabric. My husband made the broom so I was happy to be able to use it with the quilt. Happy Halloween travels!</div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love lemon bars and have searched for years for one I think is the best. Needless to say I have claimed several. I started with one and moved on to another, then another and on and on. Well this one it now my favorite. I think the difference is the zest in this one. It comes from the famous <span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1c1c;"> Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network. I hope you enjoy the buttery crust with the gooie tart filling dusted with powdered sugar to sweeten it up. I know my friends and family love the delicate combination of flavors and textures. </span></span><br />

I set it with half square triangles to do something different. It was auctioned at a Girl Scout event. Ray didn't think the colors would go in most peoples homes that we know. He doesn't generally give an opinion about my quilts so I decided to find a worthy charity. Susan did the binding for me so it wouldn't hang in the closet for a couple of years waiting to be finished. Thank you Susan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I made this for Tiffany and Phil when they got married. Tiff told me her colors and it took as look to find the fabrics as it did for me to piece and quilt the quilt. It is a turning 20 pattern. I wish I had a close up. The picture does not do justice to the beautiful fabrics. </div>

So we have decided to have a mini one of our own. Susan graciously opened her house up to the 4 original "Las Vegas Fabric Whores." I know of many others. We packed our machines, supplies, projects and loads of fabric and set up at Susan's. Then we went on a field trip to the Christmas Goose fabric store (you can't have enough). After making our purchases and stopping for sandwiches we were able to start sewing around 4:00. We stayed until we were to sleepy to sew straight and each went home to our own bed. I vowed to be back by 5 a.m. but somehow didn't make it till after 9 and was the last one to get back. <div><br /></div><div>Susan being the most organized and trying to pass Kendall as the fastest in the west, finished several projects. Mostly she added the binding to complete the 4 or 5 quilts then she did some quilting on holiday projects. She finishes all her quilts and does a lot of donation quilts. She is amazing!</div><div><br /></div><div> Vickie started her topper for a donation to the spring retreat. We are all hoping to win it! Although, if she were really a good friend she would make each of us one. She almost finished the top of it during our weekend. She did take some time out to go see her son compete and win. Go Nate! There was another fabric store near the competition location for her to support. Its always nice when you can support your family and your habit on the same trip.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bernice was diligently working on the quilts for her grandchildren. They will be eye-spying them for a long time when she finishes. Her work is always so beautiful and precise. She was a bit preoccupied. She has a plan to lose her cell phone the next time we have an in town retreat. Sometimes it is better to not be found. </div><div><br /></div><div>I couldn't decide what unfinished project to complete so I decided to start a new one. The others are to old and boring now. Oh, I hope no one ever says that about me. I did piece the top of most of a quilt. I just need to add the borders. I had planned to leave and do driving for my teenager and then he found ride. I love driving him and his friends but do appreciate when I can sew uninterrupted. It was a lovely weekend. Wish it could have been longer. It is always nice to enjoy the company of good friends, laugh, and sew.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816463782677430435.post-45967221854001154422009-10-04T00:26:00.000-07:002009-10-04T01:00:07.276-07:00Donation Quilt<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">Electric Star</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixt7PdPcjeAroIjNLcAAvZV0n5MmSscJu17JLGayLTg4oePHik0TGEfiGxxp6Id1w8BPo9bH9msfz_00SYsZwMb8lblJ1Vw2IXYT59eWKxyek2jvwHf-61tzosjhBrfRxF4SRJEpsPEpw/s1600-h/P9160064.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixt7PdPcjeAroIjNLcAAvZV0n5MmSscJu17JLGayLTg4oePHik0TGEfiGxxp6Id1w8BPo9bH9msfz_00SYsZwMb8lblJ1Vw2IXYT59eWKxyek2jvwHf-61tzosjhBrfRxF4SRJEpsPEpw/s320/P9160064.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388645510281387298" /></a></div>I started this for Kevin when he was 16 and into guitars. He saw the top and said <i>"I didn't want all that color, I just wanted two pieces of fabric with the fluffy stuff in the middle." </i>I bought some flannel sheets and quilted the batting in it for Kevin. He was happy. I quilted this myself with stars and clouds . I used variegated thread to add color to the back. I think with as bright as the top is the back needs some color. I donated it to our Stake Humanitarian Project which made quilts for children going through chemotherapy. We ended up with over 700 quilts.

Each block came with a piece of mystery fabric and a pattern. If your block was different than everyone else's you were given a store credit. I ended up with enough credit to buy the backing. I had such a difficult time trying to piece the blocks together with all the odd mystery fabrics that I changed directions. I made a Texas Star (quilt) for the center and then using the background fabric to blend all the fabrics, I framed the star with the mystery blocks. I gave it to my grandma.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4816463782677430435.post-49643285331168399472009-04-12T20:53:00.000-07:002009-10-14T17:44:23.145-07:00Black Red and TanThis is freehand quilting that I did when I was beginning.
