I’m almost finished with the first I-Spy quilt.
It is all quilted.
I made the label and am now hand sewing the binding to the back. I really love the backing fabric.
I’ve been very busy this week making food for the freezer so that dinners don’t require much thought while everyone is here.
This is a pot of meatballs and sausage for Monday when my son, daughter in law and grandson arrive. Here is the recipe. It is from a long ago Family Circle Magazine. You can see that it is well used. I make this several times a year. I don't add the mushrooms as I am don't really like them.
I also made beef and turkey taco fillings for other dinners or lunches. There has been a request for take out from a local italian restaurant so that covers yet another dinner.
I’m on a baking kick lately also. I had two bananas going bad so I made two loaves of Sweet Banana Yeast Bread.
I also made Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip cookies for a sweet treat.
I’ve been working on the Woodland Babies birth announcement. Almost all the leaves on the tree are stitched.
I doubt there will be any crafting this week with two toddlers here from Tuesday to Saturday and a whole lot of holiday cooking to be done for Thursday. For those of you who celebrate this week, have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are up to.
Thanks for stopping by!
