Finished the Modern Quilt

This is a quilt that I just finished quilting yesterday. When I bought the fabric I knew whatever design I went with would have to be "modern". I started out with a theme in mind which did consist of wonky squares, but really didn't have a "plan" per-say. After playing around with various layouts, I finally settled on these designs. Once I began quilting it, I felt that it was all coming together nicely! I chose the name; "No rhyme, No Reason" for this one. It is to be given to a daughter for Christmas and we hope she like it!

Quilts of Valor. I was not the one who did the piece work on this quilt and I don't have the first name to offer the credits to. Thank you who ever you may be and keep up the great work! 

Rain, Rain Go Away, Come Again Another Day!

It's been raining for almost forty-eight hours here. Everything is saturated and although I'm certain that it will make for a beautiful fall scenery whenever the sun does come back, right now it's sort of dreadful!

HOWEVER: on the upside of things, I have two large bowels sitting on my counter top full of sourdough bread batter on the rise! One I am going to roll out super thin and brush butter and sprinkle seasoning on top before baking to try my hand at home made crackers. The other will become pita bread and flat bread!

I am a fanatic about saving every dime where ever I am able and one of our biggest dependencies on store-bought snack foods is crackers. I don't know why I haven't tried making them before now. The pita and flat breads are just what we like in a bread because of their sizes but I never took the time to make them; just always the large regular loaves that are still so delicious but not as much "fun".

So while the rain comes down, I will be in my kitchen all warm and cozy, counting my Blessings and smelling that enticing aroma of freshness seeping from the oven!
