FEBRUARY MEETING; Quilting 101 / Block of the
Month
Jeri will introduce us to a beautiful
quilt through a block-of-the-month method.
Fabric requirements were passed out at the January meeting but everyone
can see the quilt in the January/February McCall’s Quilting Magazine. Jeri will also demonstrate a hanging sleeve
that has some built-in ease for the rod.

TIPS AND
TRICKS
Don’t forget to clean your bobbin
case after a session of sewing….or right now for the New Year! All that fuzz causes a lot of problems for
your machines…even broken threads and needles.
Lackman’s Sewing
Center gives a discount for cash purchases!
Looking for a new
machine? Jeri has a girlfriend selling 2
machines. Please see Jeri for
details.
Hang of collect
the tools/equipment/supplies near where they are used. For instance, have your pressing cloth,
applique pressing sheet, water, iron, and board all together. Have all your cutters, blades, matts, rulers,
scissors, etc. stored together. Arrange
your sewing room in zones for sewing, cutting, pressing, and storage.
PHD
Challenge
Introduced by
Jeri, your PHD Completion Program registration is due at the February
meeting. If you need more room, type
your PHD’s on a separate sheet of paper.
If you were not at the January meeting, please contact Jeri for a copy of
the program.
Your “tuition” is
one-half yard of quilt shop-quality fabric.
WORKSHOPS
Friday, February 7:
Handwork. This workshop meets the
first Friday of each month from 9-12, at Parkview. Bring your own work and a snack to share.
The first 15 minutes will be demos.
Saturday, February 22: Getaway Bag with Kim Panter. The pattern is available on pursepatterns.com
and is by Aunties Two. Also available

pattern and check the supply list.
We have all been asked to submit
ideas for workshops to Jim and Sally. No
dates have been set but they suggested the Sewing and Quilting Expo, the NQA
Show, the Amish Shop Hop, and a trip to Charm.
KITCHEN
KORNER
I was served the
following recipe by a friend and her husband and found it to be delicious. This was a traditional meal for their family
growing up…and you cannot serve one without the other. They are a
set!
White Bean
Soup
Cover Great
Northern Beans with water and cook uncovered for 1 hour. Rinse with cold water and cover just enough
to cook again. Cook uncovered until the
beans are done. This could be 2-3
hours. Add more water as needed. OR, you can choose to soak the beans
overnight, add more water and begin to cook until done. When the beans are as soft as YOU want them
for a soup, add 1 tablespoon of butter, some salt, and either cream or ½ &
1/2. Start with about 1 coup and add
until the soup is the way you want it.
You could also add more water. In
place of the cream, you can also use Coffee Rich or creamer or regular
milk. Either is good but the milk does
not like to boil so be careful. You can
also add more butter if you like.
Serve with a
sprinkle of Allspice on top – this is a MUST!
I was amazed that soup that only has 4 ingredients would be so tasty but
it is! Try it in this cold weather.
Dried Apple Pie
Pockets – to be
served alongside the bean soup
3 heaping cups of dried apples – let soak
overnight of cover with water and cook until tender.
Add: ½ cup sugar –
taste for sweetness and adjust for yourself
1 teaspoon
cinnamon
1 Tablespoon
flour
Cool and fill 5”
diameter circles of pie dough. Fold
over, flute edges. The recipe makes
about 10-14 pockets…always food in a lunch for the next few
days.
Bake at 425 until
golden
Pie Crust (one of the flakiest recipes I have
found)
4 coups
flour
½ teaspoon
salt
1 1/3 cups
shortening (I use Crisco)
Blend well, add
approximately 8 tablespoon of COLD water.
Roll out.
**True
Confessions: I can my own apple pie filling so instead of dried apples pie
pockets, I made m,y own apple pie filling pockets. Just as long as you make some sort of apple
pie pocket to serve with the soup!
NEORQC
The first meeting
of NEORQC will be Saturday, March 1 at 10:00 am. The meeting will be hosted by the Western
Reserve Quilters Anonymous at the Brecksville United Church of Christ. Mystery Quilts will be revealed, Show’n Tell,
