I have found most of my favorite bloggers through the links on other pages.<br />I've book marked your blog as I see we have things in common--a love of quilting and family research. You are a few hours south of me--where I hope it is marginally warmer!<br />I would probably balk at $4.99 per lb for pimento cheese--but I haven't given much thought to what it costs to make our own.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-37134233721390683162014-01-25T20:01:32.508-05:002014-01-25T20:01:32.508-05:00Kath; The Robyn Pandolf fabric lines always have d...Kath; The Robyn Pandolf fabric lines always have delicious colors. These are the first fabrics I bought from a 'line' [range?] of coordinates and I went way overboard with my purchase of them. If one likes a fabric a yard is necessary--if its a real favorite, then 2 yds--3 yds? This is the third quilt to incorporate these colors--each is very different from the others.<br />Naughty Nellie and Bobby--I am feeling submerged in cat hair!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-19827397219219547572014-01-25T19:57:42.252-05:002014-01-25T19:57:42.252-05:00Janet; I love your idea of working on something th...Janet; I love your idea of working on something that keeps you warm while it is being created!

It is supposed to be really nice the next couple of days.<br /><br />I hope you have a good weekend ~ Love and hugs ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-63813809089684969552014-01-25T06:58:27.817-05:002014-01-25T06:58:27.817-05:00BB; I toyed with the idea of a food processor for ...BB; I toyed with the idea of a food processor for some time, but they are expensive. We had accumulated 'Score' points by using our credit card each month for gasoline, tractor parts and such. The food processor was about the only thing on offer that interested me for redemption. The number of bits to be assembled for each use is intimidating.<br />It is interesting how certain foods can be linked to a certain era--recipes doubtless contrived by companies who want to push certain products. Most of our meal prep is 'from scratch'--so I miss most of the fads.<br />Cats are apparently the same the world over--eternal optimists, as you say, and convinced that what they desire is what should come about. We have been 'door keepers' for in-sy-out-sy felines all week!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-45296723411410494162014-01-25T04:08:51.337-05:002014-01-25T04:08:51.337-05:00I''m sorry to hear it is perishing cold ov...I''m sorry to hear it is perishing cold over there. We are still having mild, wet, grey weather, which if I am honest, suits me better than cold and dry - mainly because we stay warmer in the house and don't have to spend yet more money on heating oil. <br /><br />Your cooking sounds good. I have only fancied fish this week and have eaten it every evening, in one guise or another. My body must be telling me something! I have never had a food processor, but quite fancy one when we move. The older I get, the more labour-saving devices appeal - well, the USEFUL ones anyway. Couldn't be without my slow cooker now and I will even grudgingly admit that the breadmaker comes in handy on occasion.<br /><br />The Pimento cheese looks and sounds very 1970s. I am just about to move on an extremely heavy tome of American recipes from about that time which arrived in my possession when I bought a 2nd hand Kenwood mixer in auction. I haven't looked at it for years, but I bet there's a Pimento cheese recipe in there!<br /><br />I love the warm colours and layout of your latest quilt. Not to mention your earlier wallhanging - beautiful pattern. The girls' quilts are languishing right now as I haven't been feeling well enough to work on them. I wonder if you could get your Amish neighbour to hand-quilt your applique quilt in return for your doing something for her as a barter? Then you would get the quilt pattern you wanted.<br /><br />I see the cats are behaving just as their friends across the Pond are wont to do - always where they shouldn't be and eternal optimists when it comes to there being better weather outside the back door than the front . . . <br /><br />Keep warm.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
