Saturday Baking

I like to try the cookie of the month from the last page of Martha Stewart Living magazine.  I received the March issue in mail last Wednesday and couldn’t wait to try these new cookies.

Zucchini Nut Bread Cookies



These are a yummy, soft sandwich cookie.  A moist zucchini nut bread cookie filled with a cream cheese and butter mixture.



I made the little container with my Silhouette die cut machine and the label is a clip art download from MarthaStewart.com  I made three of these as gifts for our friends, Len and Sharon, our neighbors, Lauren and Jeremy, and our daughter and son-in-law and family.  Share the love!!

I *Heart* Birthday Cards

~ Pamela Klingensmith ~ 2 Comments

I crocheted these little mini hearts and didn’t know what to do with them, so they became bowties on my antique candle holders!
The crochet pattern is from a blog I stumbled upon, but I’m sorry I forgot to note whose blog it was.

And my final Friday endeavor, a birthday card for my friend, Junko.



The black cardstock is Gina K Pure Luxury base weight, the white cardstock is Gina K Pure Luxury layering weight.
The printed papers are from Anna Griffin and the flower stamp is from Gina K Designs Buds and Vases.  The sentiment
is from a Close to My Heart stamp set and the die cuts are Nestabilities.



Quilting Catch Up

It’s been a very long time since I posted anything, so here are a few quilting endeavors from the past few months. Yes, I have actually accomplished a lot more, but alas, I dropped the ball and did not photograph them before giving them as gifts. So here are three for now.



Grandbaby #4 Quilt



A sweet quilt for my sweet Shirley, born last June




This was a kit purchased from a magazine a couple of years ago. It uses machine embroidery applique for the quilt squares and Minkee fabric for the pastel colored borders. The light colored background is a subtle print of 100% cotton.



Away in a Manger Wallhanging



This was a kit purchased from Fat Quarter Shop.  Don’t you just love kits?



Close up of baby Jesus, don’t you love his sparkly halo?  (Gold Fabric Glitter Paint)



Some of the quilting from the back side

 Last, but not least, Christmas Tree Throw



Back of the quilt to show some of the quilting (I’m still learning!)
