Friday Finish

Today I'm sharing with you this Friday finish!!

A little dress for my almost ONE year old

granddaughter!!!

The fabric is a nice piece of vintage cotton that I LOVE....

and the pattern is also an OLDIE but goodie!

I don't make many clothing items...

JUST simple ones like this.

Quilting comes much more naturally to me!

I like the IDEA of making clothes..

but more often than not....

I'm disappointed with the outcome!

;)

I also had some success in the kitchen this week.

Yeah!!!

Two "new to me" recipes.

The first is a Navajo taco.

I have great memories of traveling through Arizona

and stopping for this regional dish!

I found an excellent Youtube video on how to make the fry bread

HERE

I wouldn't call it healthy eating...

but it SURE WAS good!!!

AND...

Everyone enjoyed dinner!!!

I also got SUCKED into making these

after seeing a post on instagram.

(coconut brown butter cookies

by Smitten Kitchen)

DO you find yourself cooking new things

after seeing them on instagram or other

social network type places???

These cookies are ...I think....

the BEST I've ever eaten.

They begin with browning butter in a saucepan

and letting it cool before getting all the ingredients together.

WOW!!

THAT is the secret to GREAT cookies, I guess!

There you go.

A little sewing

and some NOT-so-healthy eating!!!

Houston

I've never been to Houston...

but NOW I can say that I've had a quilt there.

:)

It's a little one.

But it was THERE!!!

It sat on a long table

with some impressive company.

There's a short news feature here.

 

The exhibit was called....

What's for Dinner?

 

This little quilt began with an old vintage towel.

 

I pieced the background.....

Cut the towel up

and hand appliqued pieces on

along with some other linen pieces

and black felt.

See my BIG black blanket stitches?

 

It was a FUN project!!

I enjoyed every moment.

 

It had to be FISH.

That's my husband's favorite meal!
