My sister and I had an all evening pie/cobbler-thon Thursday (while watching Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban) before she travelled back to Michigan on Friday. Evidence below.
Strawberry Rhubarb, peach/raspberry and 2 blueberry pies.
If it is possible, I have found a joy greater than pie. It is the Cobbler. For those of us much more interested in the filling of the pie, as opposed to the crust on the bottom, this baked good is perfect. The only thing that we actually cooked on Thursday night was the cobbler; we froze all of the pies, waiting for the day that we will share them with lucky guests. Or when we feel like gluttons and eating an entire pie between the two of us. OK, between the one of us (me). Anyway, the cobbler was lovely. Here it is right out of the oven. Peaches, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Mmmm...
Marc had a small bit. My sister had a small bit. I am quite ashamed to say that this was all that remained of the cobbler, merely 48 hours after it was made.
Don't take my spoon away, or I'll bite your hand.
On the quilting front, I've started something new (surprise). It has been big fun so far -it's a Kimono quilt. Here's one done already. No sewing required for the Kimonos - it's all Origami, but with fabric.
It'll be a Christmas gift.
I've also started on 2 blocks for the Collaborative quilt with my Mom. We are starting out with 5 different fabrics, but we're each allowed to add onto the 5 fabrics. The blocks can be anything, as long as they are 9 inches. The block below (Maple Leaves) signifies Canada. The one above is called "Michigan Beauty". I can't figure out how to piece that one, which is posing a bit of a problem. But I'm sure I'll figure out the most difficult and painful way to make it work.
I have more quilting progress to share, but later. The Cobbler is calling...
Ummmm I can't believe you ate all that, it was REALLY good though! The Kimono is really neat and the block for the Michanada quilt are awesome! Talk to you soon!!!!
