Bakers' Table....It took me three years to find this. And yes that is a real pumpkin. I just LOVE pumpkins and try to keep them on display as long as possible.

Dough Bowl and Quilt that I made for my kitchen table in the
colours of my kitchen. I have my kitchen done in

when we eat, but it looks so nice with all of my kitchen colours in it.

BUTTERY SIGN


I just thought I would post a picture of the sign I just finished. It is a special order for a customer and I will be shipping it off to the USA this week. I like the way it turned out and I might even have to make one for myself.

QUILTS

Seeing Quilts were listed on A Primitive Place as one of the 10 things we like to collect, I thought I would post some pictures of a few of the ones that I have  done.
This pattern is called "Wacky Stars"

CRANBERRY BANANA LOAF


This is a great recipe. I just made this to take to our Quilters' Guild meeting tomorrow. Our group is in charge of refreshments for our break this month. It is a quick easy recipe.
TIP: If you have any over ripe bananas, just peel them and put into ziplock bags and freeze them.
Take them out for a recipe that calls for them and thaw them out and mash them.

RECIPE
1/4 CUP BUTTER
1     CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
2    EGGS
3    MASHED RIPE BANANA
1    CUP CHOPPED CRANBERRIES

1 1/2 CUPS ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
1 1/2 TEASPOON BAKING POWDER
1/2    TEASPOON BAKING SODA
1/2    TEASPOON SALT
1/2    TEASPOON CINNAMON
1        PINCH OF CARDAMON

Combine butter, sugar, and 1 egg in mixing bowl. Beat until smooth. Beat in second egg. Stir in banana and cranberries.
 
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon and cardamon.
Stir well. Add all at once to banana mixture. Stir only to moisten. Scrape into a 9x5x3 inch
loaf pan (greased). Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
