Here’s a little peek of what’s happening outside the shop this week. We are enjoying all the quilters who are in the area to see the changing leaves. It’s nice to get a chance to chat with people from so many different places who enjoy fabric and sewing as much as I do.
I was going to share a soup recipe but thought this quick, easy recipe might be just the thing for those busy days when you need a quick dessert. It was always a favorite in our home. The kids always liked to scrape the pan and spoon to get a taste while the cookies cooled and set up.
My youngest daughter knew these were Preacher Cookies but had trouble saying preacher. She called them Creature Cookies. One Sunday afternoon our Preacher came to dinner and she announced his arrival….”The Creature’s here!”
Enjoy!
Preacher Cookies
2 c sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 c milk
1/2 c cocoa
2 c oatmeal
1 tsp vanilla
1 c nuts or coconut
Combine sugar, butter and milk in pan. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining ingredients. Beat quickly while hot and drop onto waxed paper. (Put newspaper under waxed paper)
Susan asked me to be a guest blogger today! She is so busy with the new Moda fabrics that arrived at the shop this week. Wildflower Serenade by Kansas Troubles and Louisa by Terry Clothier Thompson are here and I can’t wait to see what she creates with these two beautiful lines of fabric.
Gathering Friends books also arrived. Quilt Cravings, Classics, Priorities, Runners to Go and Simply Done. Definitely some fun projects in these!
I love the Christmas quilts she made with the Merry and Bright line (check out the picture in the Gallery on the website) but both sold before I had time to enjoy them hanging here in the shop. Hoping she’ll make another before the fabric disappears.
The leaves are just so beautiful right now here in the mountains. I think this is one of the best seasons ever! Susan is planning on sharing a soup recipe to enjoy on one of these crisp fall days, so check back in soon.
