Another Peach Cobbler- this one called a Peach Crisp. The topping. Crispy.
My own Georgia Peach Deep Dish- is a 1000% Delight. The Peaches at just the right stage of ripe. Juicy but still firm. I had a bowl of "almost gone bad" dark cherries while watching a cooking show (before that I watched a Quilting show- Paper Piecing a Mariner's Compass.) O. M. G. PBS on Saturday Morning.
So many pinned edges. So much paper. And they still got one segment wrong way. I am guessing it was done on purpose......the finished quilt was divine. But.......who wants a quilt these days???????
I imagined myself sitting down with photocopied paper- and having to do the gauge thing so they were the EXACT SIZE. And right there I said- no way.
Once upon a time....I might have photocopied and made one block. Just to say I had tried it. But that Ship has Sailed. I still do very very finicky work. I still hand sew seams. I still appliqué.. But not often and not much. Without my Quilting Co Pilot (Riley) it just isn't as much fun. He had to check my work. Always looking it over- very seriously.....it meant a lot to both of us. And he had opinions. And I did a lot of unsewing if he didn't approve. I was thinking of him- watching that paper piecing show together. Then looking at each other- nope...not doing that.....we'd agree.
I read My Heart Will Find You for the 4th or 5th time. I still cry at the end.
I had a bowl of Peach Cobbler and it was so good......so good.
Husband did a puzzle and was two pieces short. We both looked. Table, floor etc. nothing. Before bed I found one siting on top of the puzzle and the other on the floor......right where I had looked. Weird.
Next to a dusty box of wine...circa 1980 something. Germany. I wonder if any of it is still drinkable. Perhaps Fate wanted me to think about the box of wine????.
Lots of people would like a quilt these days. Quilting is still alive and well in many forms. I wouldn't be tempted to make the paper pieced quilt you mention but I still like it and find it very soothing, especially the hand sewing.
ReplyDeleteDiane- my friend did send a thank you and she DID love the quilt. I still need to send an email on the care and washing of a 1950's quilt. Half the quilts are from the 30's and 40's and the one I gave my friend was 50 's I think.
ReplyDeleteOne of the older ones - the patches have sort of disintegrated. So I will need to repair that one.
And find old fabric to use...... I have a pile of small bits and pieces next to me that I often sew together. I still love the process
