It seems like the past week
has flown by.
I had committed myself to
only working on those stalled projects
that needed to be taken off the back burner.
I'm afraid, as always,
I tried to bite off more than I could chew.
But that doesn't mean that
I didn't have a successful week.
I sauteed some small pieces into
2 inch four patches and pinwheels.
and those were combined into 41-six inch blocks.
That's not all....
They were whipped together with 40 other six inch blocks
that were from an earlier
mystery quilt designed by Thimble Creek Quilts.
I had used all scraps and "leftovers".
There are still borders to figure out,
but I guess I'll move it back to the back burner
for just awhile longer to simmer.
It was fun to get out my kitchen aide mixer
and mix up some new fabric combos
for the last four full size hexagons
I need for "Route 66" designed by Di Ford.

I hung up the last
set that I just finished.
I'm getting closer.
One more tasty treat.
Look what finally popped out of the oven.
It had baked long enough.

Snow Happens
by Bird Brain Designs.
This has been my traveling "snack food" since
the start of the year.
It was ready to be done and enjoyed
with the red geraniums of summer.
There's still plenty lingering on those
crowded back burners,
but I'm feeling quite happy with
this week's baking.
Until Next Time-
Kyle

ReplyDeleteYou should be very happy with this weeks yield. Lovely projects. Your "Snow Happens" pillow is so fun. I love the hexies of course and the quilt top is lovely. Your photos were very fun.
ReplyDeleteLovely post! Wish I could say that my oven, pots and pans were as pristine as yours!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! Nice feeling to clean out the leftovers.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever with your posts, Kyle. This was a fun read. : )
ReplyDeleteEverything is delightful, but I especially love the light, summery feel of the quilt from your Thimble Creek Mystery blocks!
I love the things that came out of your kitchen! I think I need to spent more time cooking and baking! The top is beautiful and I love the snowman cushion!
ReplyDeleteYou have been sewing/cooking up a storm. Those pinks, blues and greens are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBusy in the kitchen I see ;-) Congrats on a VERY productive week !
ReplyDeleteI'd say you had a successful foray in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up Kyle - a master chef with words! I don't think you've been the least bit bored lately with such an assortment of projects to work on - I'm especially partial to those wonderful fussy cut hexies! And I love the script fabric you used as the background for the leftovers quilt. Is it all one fabric? Or several different ones mixed together? The setting squares are brilliant the way they make diagonal rows of color to add interest to the overall design. Love it! Job well done!
ReplyDeleteYou have been baking up a storm! Love the little pillow, but the scrappy quilt top is my favorite, great colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you for dishing up a delicious feast for us to savour. You certainly have been a busy bee whipping up beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteYour Thimblecreek mystery looks wonderful! Makes me think I should dig out my blocks. You used such pretty, cheerful fabrics. I love how you put your post together too - the fabric looks lovely in the bright red mixer. The snow men are darling too but I can't think about snow today - it's way too cold for July today!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post! Such beauties you cook up in your kitchen. You are so clever :) Love all your projects. You had a great week!
ReplyDeleteLoved the story line Kyle - your goodies all look like they are done to perfection!
ReplyDeleteI love your Snow Happens pillow, perfect for winter! I like to have a few winter items that aren't Christmasy, that I can use in January. The Oreo photo is a gem.
ReplyDeletePerfect creative cooking - and no calories! I wonder which kitchen tool you'd recommend for that wonderful hexagon fussy cutting? looking gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post, you've had a great week in the kitchen! Lots of yummy treats to enjoy for your efforts. Now, what will you do for canning season?!
ReplyDeleteWow you really cooked up a super fun post. It was a delight to read from start to finish! I love all your project, and especially that sweet blue and white pillow. How cute and the details are very special.
ReplyDeleteyour oven is so clean! what is your secret?
Creative picture taking. I could get interested in cooking if I found quilt parts when I opened the oven door or took out a skillet.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of meals and snacks! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis was just a delightful read ; what a fun spin on all of your beautiful projects! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous post and I love that summery quilt on the bench. So nice that it is almost finished cooking. The hexies and stitchery are wonderful, too. I love seeing what is on the back burner!
ReplyDeleteYou've been cooking up a storm, Kyle! (Thanks for the giggle!!)
ReplyDeleteWho knew what can go on in the kitchen of a quilter??!! A very fun post and you can really enjoy that full sewing pantry. Reminds of my quilt shop days when the UPS man would bring in boxes of new fabric - we always said they too were fresh out of the oven:-) Your posts are always a delight and filled with goodies to see!
