| We came from here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1217989/
It is Officially Fall and there is cooler air up North.
Time to get some serious quilting done.
I think this is the only quilt I ever made in Fall colors. It was a wedding gift for my cousin.

| Jean, the temps are so different . We are having much cooler nights and the day temps are very nice in northern Florida. I am so enjoying it after having been in the Port Charlotte area for a month--talk about hot!
Isn't it funny how eventually we all get so involved with saving scraps that they lead to yet another idea for another quilt. Stu, you are definitely addicted--but that is a good thing. LOL
Sometimes it is fun just to go through my scrap bags and just "love" on my pieces I have accumulated. Yes, I know I am odd. |

| Key Lime Pie
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
3 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lime juice ( recipe asks for key lime juice but I just use regular as we don't get key limes too often)
Blend together well
pour into crust and bake for 10 to 15 minutes till set in middle.
I usually double this recipe as I use a large pie plate to make it a deep dish pie. YUM!
In that case I bake it for 20 minutes or until set.
Either buy graham cracker crust or make one with graham cracker crumbs butter and sugar. Recipe on box.
You can add a little green food coloring as I like to see the green lime and so does my sweet hubby. He always says, I thought this was a key lime pie, why isn't it green. ????
You can add meriange to top of pie but we like whipped cream.

| ROFLOL--now ladies be sure you use real key limes--not just limes. It makes a difference you know. I actually have about 6 I brought home from my sister's house. Sent a box full to the son of my BF from Gainesville earlier this week. Been a long standing thing that I get them key limes. Didn't get many as most were taken to the Nursing home to the nurses who care for Mom. |

| I think we need a new rule. I move that any recipe for Key Lime Pie (or any other dessert) is hereby always on topic for just about any thread.
All agreed signify by the same sign. (Aye! ;)
Jean, I LOVE the colors in your Fall quilt. Very pretty!
I went to California last week and have been bumbling around trying to catch up with myself ever since. Daughter and I started water aerobics a month ago and it's GREAT fun and a lot more of a workout than I thought it would be. Best thing is - most of the other women there are round, like me.
I just finished quilting a scrap tumbler quilt top that I "rescued" - was going to dig through my stash for a fabric appropriate for binding and whaddayaknow... I actually used the backing fabric to prepare the binding for this quilt when I basted it, several months ago. One of the benefits of being ADD - I'm always finding these "surprises," stuff I forgot I had. :)
Now I can bind the quilt tomorrow and it will be done, done, done! Three large bed quilts done in two months - a new record for me! :)
I'm four weeks behind on the Barbara Brackman Civil War Quilt, so I'm preparing fabrics to get caught up on those, too. Even if I get those done tomorrow, on Saturday, I will be behind, again. LOL! |

| You are all a little nuts I think and I am right there in the middle. What a great group of ladies. I think that crafters, stitchers, all have to have some great imaginations to do the fun and sometimes wacky things we do and say.
Okay, Key lime pie is a keeper but it really is a summertime pie. What is your favorite fall treat. I would have to say Pecan pie wrapped in a nicely quilted pie keeper or transporter.
Have you seen them? They are quilted in a circle and then a casing it stitched along the outside to pull up over the pie when you carry them. Some of them are made to tie over the top of a covered pie like a towel
Here are some that I found online

| just watched a show on RachelRay a couple weeks ago, where she went to Key West to look for places to eat. One of them was a woman who made Key Lime pies using a recipe similar to that with fresh squeezed Keys and condensed milk. She served them in her restaurant and had been using the same recipe for years. Sounded really good, but we only see Keys up here about once a year at the grocerys. Maybe I'll grab some next time and try it out. My dad was a lemon meringue fan, haven't had one of those either for a coon's age! |

| Okay, I can't remember if I posted this last year or not, but this "dump" type cake is so insanely good, it's probably worth posting twice, anyway:
Pumpkin Pie Crunch
* 1 15oz can pumpkin puree
* 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
* 3 eggs
* 1 1/4 cups white sugar
* 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (I only use about half the package and I have used Spice Cake mix, too)
* 1 cup chopped pecans
* 3/4 cup butter, melted
* 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (you can substitute vanilla ice cream - even better! :)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. Combine the pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Mix well and spread into the prepared pan.
3. Sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the top of the pumpkin mixture and pat down. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the cake mix then drizzle the melted butter all over the top.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 1 hour but no longer than 1 hour and 20 minutes. Top cooled cake with whipped topping when ready to serve.
This will be the first dessert to disappear at a potluck. Fabulous chilled all by itself or warmed and served with ice cream.

recipe is Pioneer Womans Pecan Pie. I thought my mom made the very best pecan pie, this one is as good if not better. Just in case this isn't rich enough, my daughter has also added semi-sweet chocolate chips at times. For some reason, the chopped pecans seem to make it so much better. |

| not at all that is why I make it Prime rib - crown roast , one year this and than the other. Butcher makes the the crown ,you stuff it or not and roast at 350 degrees according to size and amount of stuffing. With pork timing is not so important as you want it well done ( I do) cannot overcook pork. Towards the last half hour roast some canned apricots halfs right along the pork for garnish with maraschino cherry in each apricot half all around the crown.
Panties are provided by the butcher.
This is another beauty - recipe in Bert GReen Cookbook. Anyway my presentation with his recipe. Geourges. German Potatoe Salad Momas easterbread and this ham to die for.
Again I am still up because my neighbor just finifhed grilling his meal or the day. She is anorexic and doesn't cook or eat or what ever. i do have a problem here...
But we are supposed to be quilting...

| I got the front room painted this AM - a lovely light fern green. Goes well with the large palm outside the window.
Hope to get the machine up and running so I can get the valences made. Using the curtains from MD but will need valences. Luckily I found the rest of the fabric.
Hope to go furniture shopping in a bit to take advantage of the Columbus Day sales.
A couch & kitchen table would be nice to have. |

| Good day for working on "Gift" blocks, right Marion. I'm almost caught up on requests for embroidery charm squares, what would you like in exchange for the four blocks you're making for me? I did a snowlady with snow shovel and the caption " I'd rather be quilting" yesterday and more Chickadees and more Cardinals. IDid a really cute motif for a mug rug. My sister (youngest) Patty stopped by yesterday and was admiring my Monogrammed Apple dishtowel. I explained about the different dish towel swaps I've been in, opened the drawer and there was my ice Cream Sundae towel from you. Patty says that getting an unexpected package in the mail was so wonderful, it really made her day. We laughed because we all use them as decoration and don't want anyone using them to wipe up anything messy or dirty. I do allow hand drying when the hands have just been washed. I love ironing and spray sizing them to keep them crisp looking. Brings back wonderful memories. I also love the extras we received like my Darlinmomma slippers. I wonder if there would be any interest in a basket liner or dough cover swap. I've gone back to baking bread twice a week, make two loaves and give one away. A premade dish cloth would work as a base. |

| Marion, Thunder, et.al. Was up in your neck of the woods Saturday at a dog show (an outside show) in Lake City. We showed at 10am between the rain and wind bursts. Our boy Merlin (the one we're taking to Eukanuba in December) got Best of Breed and one of our puppy boys earned his second point. We usually would stay for Groups to represent our breed, but the weather was too unpredicatble and the delays it was putting on doijng the breeds had us concerned that we could get caught in a quagmire, so be finally decided to leave between rain bursts. We hadn't entered Sunday, which was just as well as it rained the entire day at home. Been to only one outside show that was actually cancelled, and that was on account of concerns of lightning. Usually, they will procede with the show... the judges can stay unbder the tented area of the ring. But you haven't seen a show until you've seen the standard poodles show in the rain ... it's not pretty. |

| No pattern but was thinking along the lines of napkin size so you could line a basket and use it for bread or rolls at the table or I'd probably use it to cover my bread dough while it's resting, and rising.
Here's the bread recipe. Best Ever white bread I make it in my Cuisinart food processor. Spray the workbowl and knife blade with cooking spray. Add to the workbowl, 3 1/2 cups bread flour, 2 teaspoons sea salt, 2 1/4 teaspoons or 1 pkt dry yeast. Process to mix well. In microwaveable glass measuring cup combine 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 3 tablespoons of honey. Heat until warm but not hot. I use 30 second increments, testing on the inside of my wrist until it feels warm. Turn processor on and slowly add liquid mixturep until dough forms. Knead for a few minutes giving quick bursts of off and on. Dough should not feel wet and stick to your hands. If it does add more flour a tablespoon at a time. With additional processing. . When dough is ready turn out and put in a greased bowl, turn dough over to grease top. Cover with plastic wrap and a clean cloth or towel. Before rinsing the bowl, repeat and make a second loaf. Trust me on this, one will not last long. Let rise covered for about an hour. Turn out and knead 15 times, place in a greased bread tin and again cover with the towel, but no plastic wrap. Let rise until double in bulk or about an hour. After it has raised for 45 minutes, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Be sure you have enough space for the bread to have air circulate around it and place on the top oven rack. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown crust. I can usually smell it when it is done and eady to come out of the oven. This makes excellent toast and is very good with sandwiches. For variations you can add up to one cup of whole wheat flour and still have a nice light bread. We like to roll the dough out and add butter, brown sugar and raisans with a sprinkling of cinnamon to make cinnamon swirl breakfast bread. Just wonderfull for French toast with real maple syrup. |

The red/blue/gold border is a continuous strip, not individually pieced. Should I stitch between each one of those stripes? This is a wall quilt, not a lap robe...

| On this past Monday the 3 other counselors & care coordinator all decided to make a rag quilt for the Big Boss for this coming Tuesday. It's denim and autumn fabric. I gave the denim jeans to each of them with a finished block for a pattern on Tuesday. They returned them to me on Wednesday, I cut all the fabric tops and sewed all the Xs , got 2 sections of the quarter blanket done and gave them to the first 2 counselors, showed them how to clip it and loaned them my scissors. I sewed the next 2 quarters the following night. I have back the first 2 quarters and I'm supposed to get the remaining two tomorrow. I will then join all 4 quarters into the whole blanket and clip those final assembly seams. Then take it on down to the laundry mat. I HAVE to have it done and to work on Monday. The Boss appreciation breakfast is Tuesday and I won't be there. My husband's surgery is Tuesday...
What was I thinking?? LOL The real test is whether the staff will want to make another one for our immediate Boss's Christmas present. She's a quilter and will understand the amount of work that went into making it. The Big Boss may not but I had the fabric and denim available in her colors/style. She's into hunting and fishing, autumn colors and I had 2 pair brown jeans, 1 olive, 1 gold and some really great theme fabric to go with it. |

| I've taught a few craft classes and a couple of wall hanging projects... my pet peeve are the women that come in late and expect me stop everybody else's instruction and catch them up!!! I usually ask them to wait a couple of minutes while I get everybody else moving on to a step that will take a little bit, THEN I'll give them the help them need. (The late comers are RARELY happy with that!!) |

| Teaches them what they need to know-being late for a class is rude!!! |
