TIPS AND TRICKS

·        Have a lot of threads stuck in your cutting matt?  Try using a lint roller on the surface. 

·        Use binder clips to hold all the cords around your sewing room.  Keeps them from tripping people and getting in your way. 

·        Need to purchase more fabric for a project but don’t want to carry all the other pieces of fabric?  Cut small snips of fabric from each fabric and attach them to a 3X5 index card.  The card will fit in your purse and there is space to write yourself notes about what you are looking for fabrics and notions. 

·        When you sew with flannel; increase your stitch length and use low loft batting.  Clean your machine as you work because of the added lint of the flannel. 

 

CHILDREN’S WORKSHOP

Members of the Children's Retreat Committee will be cutting fabric this Friday morning, May 2nd, from 9:00 to 

noon at the church in the fireside room.  This is also the same time and location as the hand work group, but we 

will use the other side of the room. We welcome anyone who is willing to come and help cut the flannel and package it.

 

JULY PICNIC

This year’s challenge is “Flower Garden”.   It can be any item but MUST be blooming!  We have also been asked to wear something flowery!  The committee has asked that everyone bring 5 fat quarters for the games.  Location and date of the regularly scheduled picnic has been questioned by the committee.  Discussion will be at the May meeting. 

 

WORKSHOPS

·        Friday, May 2:            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. 

 

·        Friday, May 30: Postcards & Banners from 9 - 2.  Quick small projects with many possibilities!  Payment; donate 1 project to the church.

 

·        Saturday, June 28: T-shirt quilts with Jim.  More information to come

   

2014 QUILT SHOW

Sign up for the 2 workshops TCQ will be offering at the 2014 Quilt Show at meetings (clip board at the sign in table) or by contacting Barb Byler.  Class fee is an equal amount of volunteer hours sometime during the show.  Classes are Friday, September 26; Magic Squares and Saturday, September 27 Storm at Sea.

Nancy Danby is organizing short demonstrations to take place during the show.  If you would like to demonstrate, please contact Nancy to discuss your ideas. 

The committee hopes you are sewing your fingers off during this long, snowy and cold winter and spring!  That way all of us will have plenty of projects to enter into the show.  We continue to meet and plan.  At the end of the newsletter is a copy of the show registration form.  You will need to copy the form; 1 form for every project you plan to enter. 

Are you selling your raffle tickets?  Just a reminder that this is how we support our educational endeavors for the next 2 years.  Tuck the tickets in your purse and show the picture to everyone you see!  You will sell them in no time. 

 

KITCHEN KORNER

RITA'S CREAM CHEESE POTATOES

3-4 lbs clean redskin potatoes, cut into chunks (skin on)

8oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 - 1/2 cup milk (skim is fine)

1-2 T dill weed

salt/pepper

  In large pot of salted boiling water cook potatoes until just fork-tender.  Meanwhile in small saucepan cook remaining ingredients, stirring to prevent scorching and until it is smooth and begins to thicken.  Drain potatoes, returning them to the pot for a few minutes, lid off, allowing the cooked potatoes to 'dry' a bit.  Pour the cream cheese mixture over the still-warm potatoes and gently fold all together.  Pour into casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray and place in 350* oven for 30-40 minutes until bubbly.  I usually cover the potatoes until the last 10 minutes or sew of cooking to gently brown the top.  These are AWESOME with Easter ham or pork roast.

 

 

SPRINGTIME STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD

1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2/3 cup raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing
4-5 cups torn spinach leaves
1 pint fresh strawberries, cleaned and sliced
1/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese, or shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
  Combine all ingredients, toss, chill and serve.

 

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE

Bake 13x9 pan of brownies according to package directions. While still warm, poke holes in brownies with a fork and pour 1/4 cup of Kahula over all. 

  While cooling, prepare two packages of chocolate mousse according to directions. Set aside. 

  Crush 5 or 6 Heath Toffee Bars and set aside. 

  Thaw large container of Cool Whip.
1st layer: In a large parfait bowl, or punch bowl, crumble half of the brownies for the first layer of dessert.
2nd layer: Spread half of the mousse on top.
3rd layer: Spread half the Cool Whip.
4th layer: Spread half of the crushed candy bars on that.
Repeat each of the four layers. Pretty and YUMMY
