May 15, 2011

Happy Sunday! The weather is glorious and it’s a great day. 

For those of you who like getting a bargain and expanding your library, C&T Publishing is having a super Spring Fling Sale. Today is the last day you can take advantage of these great prices.

FABRIC COLLAGE QUILTS
This is definitely eye candy. I’d love to attend her retreat.

SPRING VIOLETS
What a pretty pincushion! Almost too pretty to stick pins in it.

FREE PATTERNS
Lots of patterns to download from McCalls.

NEW BOM – HAND EMBROIDERED CROSSES
This is the first posting of twelve. It’s going to be beautiful!

HEXAGON QUILT
Janet does a very different take on a hexagon or Grandmother’s Flower Garden. This is SEW cute!


QUILTING EYE CANDY FROM DOWN UNDER
These Aussie gals do some great work. I love to see what other quilters have done.


QUILTS FOR MOTHER
I just had to post this picture for all of you. This quilt (yes, it’s a quilt) was one of three winners in a Quilts for Mother contest. I think I would do physical harm to my daughter if she did a quilt with ME like that.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER (OR MAYBE BREAKFAST)
Cinnamon Roll Muffins
Much easier to make than actual cinnamon rolls, these quick-fix muffins have a similar great taste! The delicious aroma will sure to wake everyone with a simple smile on their face! Serve warm for the best flavor.
Topping:
5 Tbsp. butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.

Muffins:
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 400F. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients and whisk well. Make a well in the center and add eggs, milk and oil. Stir until thoroughly moistened; do not over beat. Batter will be thick. Fill greased muffin pans 2/3 full or use paper liners. Spoon a dollop of topping onto the center of each muffin. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until done being careful not to let topping burn. Remove from pans immediately and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Drizzle each muffin with a glaze of 2/3 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 tsps. of milk blended thoroughly and dropped with a fork.
Yield: about 10 muffins.

Enjoy your week!

When life hands you scraps, make quilts.
