Quick Hand-Makes for Anytime Gifts

My most popular pattern to date is my Easy Reversible Microwave Cozy.

https://www.craftsy.com/quilting/patterns/easy-reversible-microwave-cozy-reg-size/263517

A few years ago I made one for all my coworkers, church family and friends.


I finally got around to making a set for my own home.  I used one of my Pampered Chef bowls as inspiration for my set of four. 



What makes my pattern different?  It does not require a lot of marking like most of the others I've come across. 

You can purchase my pattern on Craftsy for $1.50.  

I also sell a combo pack which includes instructions for medium and large size cozies for $3,


If you are looking to make quick, quilted gifts, look no further!  Your peeps are gonna love these! I guarantee it!

Until next time, God bless and happy stitchin'!

2nd Annual Chili Cook-off

It's been 5 years since our last chili cook-off at work, but it is our 2nd one,  so I believe "2nd annual" still works.

In 2011,  I entered my white chicken chili in the cook-off and won!  Look how skinny I was!


Before 2006 I didn't even know there was such a thing as white chicken chili. I had it for the 1st time at a church potluck, compliments of my dear friend Kelly. The following weekend I tried my hand at it, and I've been improving it ever since.




So much so, that I won again!  Yay me!
