Love this magazine, Primitive Quilts and Projects fall issue
I have a finish. This cute little tabbletopper caught my eye.

I have only made a few primitive quilts, but this one went together so fast. The log cabin blocks and the wool applique is what sold me.   I made this one for my grandaughter's birthday.

My daughter's birthday is also this month and I put together this cute little girlie apron. She just loved it.
Hope every one is enjoying this warm spell.
until next time,

Fall on the Front Porch

Welcome.......
 Fall is finally here and my front porch is decorated, bring on the fall colours.
No monotone colours for me.
Love oranges, blacks, yellows .
A lantern with a crow and pumpkin. My cute little rat on the pumpkin and the corn stalks leftover from my harvest.
I had orange marigolds that I could not throw away so they went in the watering can.
Lots of  butternut squash adds a little more flare. My yellow mums are sure putting on a show.
A large wreath on the door completes the look.
 Happy Autumn everyone!

A little table topper finished. This pattern is Cheri Payne Designs.
If you want to take a stroll through my decorated home go here.

Spicy Pear Chutney

Pears, Pears and more Pears....

Fall is definetley in the air.

  So I have decided that best way to  make the most of these Pears is to make preserves.
Now this Recipe come from Jane @cottage at the crossroads.
First gather all your ingredients. Hmm looks like alot on my counter doesn't it.
Wash the 250ml canning jars. (12 1/2pint and One large Jar just in case.)
Put on  your apron and wash and core those Pears.
Add all those ingredients into a dutch oven and stir for 2 1/2 hours. You are almost there.

While the ingredients are simmering on the stove take your bottles and give them a hot bath in another dutch oven to sterilize.
Oh the anticipation... Taste test.  HMMM... GOOOD , We are now ready to pour the chutney into the hot jars and seal. Add labels . Ready for gift giving. Great for chicken, turkey, cheese and crackers........
This recipe can be found here.

While I was making chutney I also made 2 loaves of zuchini bread (recipe here) .
Won't you join me in a slice.

Be sure to let Jane know that I sent you. 

What are you preparing in your Kitchens today?

until next time,

Bow Tie Quilt

A Finish.  This quilt was so fun and easy to make.

First I cut  from an assortment of blues, then I proceeded to make those cute bow ties. With a little help from my friend. Here it is up on my design wall already to add the white borders.
I used my leftover fabric and pieced the binding.
This quilt measures 60 "x 60" .
Here it is ready to compliment my guest room.

until next time,

Linda
