A Jelly of a Review!

Firstly, I do know Kay, who is Jam Anarchy.  But she did not ask for this endorsement,

and I did order & pay for the jelly I got.  It's just THAT GOOD!



Oh my goodness!

I ordered this Hot Pepper Confetti Jelly from Jam Anarchy,

and had it sent to my sister's house for us to try out when I was there for vacation.

We poured it over a small brick of cream cheese

and

ATTACKED

it with a couple kinds of crackers.

If my sister hadn't been smart enough to use a

SMALL brick of the cream cheese,

we would have surely polished off the

WHOLE JAR!

Sorry, no pictures other than the one above,

which I nipped from their Facebook page -

there wasn't time.

It was just way too good to wait!

They only make jams & jellies in small batches,

and in some very fun & different flavors.

The latest one on their facebook page

is Bananas Foster -

doesn't THAT sound divine?

Jam Anarchy also does home "Jam Parties"!

Check Jam Anarchy out HERE &

on their facebook page, HERE!

Enjoy!

TLC Racers



That's me, peeking over the top!



Last Saturday I taught my very first

TLC Quilters guild workshop,

all by myself!

I taught the Jelly Roll Race quilt

and we had a lot of fun.

2 of my sample tops

My first instruction to my students was this:

"Take out all of your strips,

fluff them up

and put 'em in a big pile on the table!"



This one had all of her strips neatly separated by color

and wound around cardboard tubes!





There were batiks, civil war repros, Halloween,

red-white-&-blues, and Christmas strips.

Making sure there weren't any twists.
An impossible task!

Out of the 8 students that were sewing,

5 of them had completed tops by the end of the workshop!

A 6th one emailed me on Monday, that she finished her top on Sunday.  I think that's pretty good!

Here they are, in order of finishing:

Marlene

Jean

Carol
Look how it divided itself - dark on one side, light on the other!

Jenel

Dawn

And the whole crew:

Laura~Marlene~Carol~Dawn~Jean~Jenel~Lydia~Donna~Mary Ann

They were wonderful students!

They've made me start thinking about

what I could do in another workshop.

Thanks!

Black, White & a POP! of Color DQ

Last month I joined in on the September DQ swap over on the Quilting Board.  Our optional theme was

Black & White with a Pop of Color.

First I thought that I would do some

Wonky Stars

as I had just demostrated them at my guild meeting.

But nah,

I want to make something a bit bigger.

Then I thought

Single Irish Chain.

No, that's not it either.

So I put it out of my mind for a time

while I worked on the supply list for the workshop

I'm leading for guild this coming Saturday...

the Jelly Roll Race.

That's it!

I'll do a miniature JRR!

It took me a while to figure out the math

to get the size I wanted,

and then I began grabbing my black & whites &

my POP! of color & started cutting.

It went to together so quickly.

And I liked it soooo much

it was hard to send it away to my partner!

Taaaa-Daaaaaah~!!!

Even though I had good lighting,

the blue is not the right color in the picture.

It's really turquoise,

but you get the idea.

I just did a quick stitch in the ditch for the quilting.

I've decided I'm going to make a big one for myself now.

After I finish up a few more things I have stacked up!
