I have been sewing some on the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt,  I have been working on a block that looks difficult, but is actually not too bad.  Then I started on the next block ..I also have my on point top that I am working on still.


not mine

  Last week at quilt guild, we had a 5" charm square exchange..and I won some, so now I have more squares for the other to the point quilt top I have going.  I may take apart the 5" blocks that I have sewn already.  I really like the block of the month slice and dice..pair it with a white and I could (haha) have it done fairly quickly.  I keep going back and looking at full quilts made with this block and it just keeps calling me.

Yesterday I started making  baked beans..I started off in the slow cooker, used boiling water, had the slow cooker on high.  It takes a long time to bring up the temperature of the beans.  So after a couple of hours I decided to turn off the slow cooker and use the oven.  Two smaller crocks in the oven..enough to share with my daughter IF she wants some.

It smelled fanastic after a couple of hours.  I am sure that my sister and I will enjoy
