New Classes

This table runner is just part of my new class listings. The pattern will also be available for purchase after the first of the year. The pattern will have sizes from the table runner size up to a king size. It is very interesting in the larger sizes due to the surprising borders I have added. More about this later.

I will also offer classes in hand piecing that is great for beginners as well as more experience quilters as I cover the very basic four patch to "Y" or set in seams all in one block. Hand piecing and hand applique are nice projects to have on hand for traveling, waiting at the Doctor's office and for times watching TV with the family.
The above class can also be done by machine.

===================================================================
Now for a quick recipe.

This basic recipe was given to me from a friend as a dip for fruit, but I have changed it into a base for several pies we enjoy.

Easy Basic Cream Pie

1 box Vanilla Instant Pudding
1 pouch Instant Topping Mix
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream

Mix all together and spoon into a graham cracker pie crust.

To make different flavors I add toasted coconut, bananas or drained crushed pineapple.

I also buy my pudding and topping mix in bulk from the Amish or Menonite stores in our area. Then I will use 1/2 cup of each powder to make my pies.
