2 Side Triangles

Fabrics have been chosen for all of the right side triangles.

My first 2 side tris are ready to be added to the completed list tonight.

Happy Sewing,

Top Row Triangles are Complete!

An afternoon of piecing yesterday & some

applique late last night led to 4 completions.

It feels great to have the top and bottom rows finished.

Now on to the sides & corners (kites).

Have a wonderful week!

5 Triangles

In the last week top row 5 through 9 were completed. 

Today was a good day for applique!

Just 4 more triangles remaining in the top row, then I'll start the sides.

We've had a bit of a warm up this week.

The daffodils are starting to come up next to the house,

the dog has been out stalking the squirrels AND

we have song birds again.

The cardinals, robins & blue jays were out in full force today...

no doubt scouting out nesting areas.

It's so nice to know we're over the harsh weather of winter

(knocking on wood!).

Happy Stitching,

Jane Blocks, Semi-organized

I've updated a work in progress...

A better view of the finished blocks and triangles are available on

the latest page: 30s Dear Jane.

I'll be updating as I finish more triangles (and blocks, should I get the urge to start redos)----hopefully by the weekend.

Happy Sewing,

Heather

A Guest for Crepes

If you know Mr. Fabulous, you are aware NOTHING tops Strawberry Pie....

at least that was the case until this morning.

Move over Strawberry Pie and make room for the new favorite: crepes.

It turns out Mr. Fabulous wasn't the only one anxiously awaiting his breakfast...

an unexpected guest joined us at the table today.

{Hoping he could get his paws on some, too!}

Looks like a popular recipe all around.

Good thing they're fast and simple.

Here's the recipe I use:

CREPES

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup all purpose flour (still working on a gf version)
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil----melted shortening is a good substitute
• 1 teaspoon sugar or equivalent (for savory crepes, substitute with salt)

*optional* powdered sugar for dusting & butter to prevent batter from sticking

 ***************

Combine all ingredients and mix well.

If your batter seems a little thick, add up to a tablespoon of water.

Pour mixture into a Pyrex measuring cup for the best control.

Heat a skillet on medium-high to high, grease pan with butter, one pat per crepe. Add enough batter to lightly coat the pan, swirling the batter in the pan
to ensure even distribution.

 

If you aren't able to flip the crepes to brown both sides, it is acceptable to cook just one side. However, I flip. If you like a crisp outer layer, practice your flipping for a perfectly cooked crepe.

 

Fill with whatever you like. We prefer fresh fruit, but you can certainly use Nutella, chocolate, peanut butter, jam, etc. Top with fresh whipped cream, fruit , filling and/or dust with confectioners' sugar.

 

Enjoy!
