Why can’t sewers/quilters have the same deal as the cell phone? Purchase the newest, greatest machine; sign a contract and upgrade in 2 years!?

SURPRISE!

KITCHEN KORNER

CORN AND RED PEPPER CHOWDER

1lb sweet Italian sausage

1 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 ribs celery, chopped

3 Yukon Gold potatoes

1 sweet potato

2 cups frozen corn

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 red pepper, roasted and chunked (I used jarred)

6 cups chicken or beef stock (or both)

In large Dutch Oven sauté chopped Italian sausage, onions, garlic, celery in olive oil until the veggies begin to brown. Meanwhile, in microwave bake potatoes until almost done ~ maybe 7-10 min. (I scrub my potatoes well, but don’t peel ~ too lazy!). Chunk the potatoes and add to sautéing veggies and sausage. Add broth and simmer for an hour or sew. I like to run through the soup with an immersion blender to thicken soup and break down veggies. If you do that, try to let the sausage settle to the bottom of the pan and don’t blend it. [If you do, it doesn’t hurt, it’s just that you lose the chunks of meat.] Add the corn and beans and continue to heat through or simmer, stirring occasionally, until dinner. I serve it with sour cream and shredded Parmesan cheese.

THREE-GRAIN BREAD ~ I made the dough in my bread maker, then baked it on a baking stone. It’s not a “bread maker” recipe, but it was awesome! I just checked the dough as it mixed and added flour to get the right feel to the dough.

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 T yeast

1 cup buttermilk (I used instant and mix it with very warm water)

2 T honey

2 T olive oil

2/3 cup oats

1/3 cup cornmeal

(I add about 1/4 cup each flax seed, and wheat germ)

1 tsp salt

Add all to breadmaker and process as for dough. Watch and add more all-purpose flour if needed. I think I added about 1/2 - 1 cup more. After bread machine beeps, take dough out and form it into 8-10 inch loaf. Place on baking pan coated with corn meal. Place in warm spot and allow to rise one more hour. Bake at 375* for 30-40 min.

*If you are not using breadmaker, after dough is mixed, knead 8-10 min on floured board until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl turning to coat dough. Cover and let rise 1 hour. Punch down, form into 8-10 inch loaf and continue as above.

WARM BROWNIE PUDDING

1 cup flour

3/4 cup sugar

2 T cocoa

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup milk

2 T oil

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup cocoa

1 3/4 cups hot water

In mixing bowl with electric beater mix first 8 ingredients until smooth. Stir in nuts and pour into greased 1 1/2 qt casserole bowl. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over batter. Bake at 350* for 45 min. Serves 8. Top with whipped cream. Ahhhhhh……

TIP OF THE MONTH

Lose weight Quilting: Cardio Pressing: If you have a basement (or live in a two-story
house) move your ironing board to a different floor than the one where you
sew, Each time you need to press patchwork or prepare an appliqué,
climb up or down the stairs. You'll get your leg-lifting exercise on
your way to the iron or back. If your house is all on one story,
locate the ironing board and sewing machine as far apart as possible.

Zepora Has New Web Site



There has been a change in Zepora's web site for information about the October quilt retreat in Ripley, West Virginia. Below is a message from Peg Bingham. If you have bookmarked Zepora's web site you will want to change it to the new address. Information about the quilt retreat will be posted in March. Peg Writes:

Hi, all –

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a safe & blessed start to 2011 – despite all the snow!

I have been working on the new website for Zepora’s Educational Quilting Seminar. After many years of hosting the site, Bob Pelletier had to give it up due to business demands. My son & I have migrated it to my webpage.

If you go to:

www.pegspatches.com

you will see a link on the left and one across the top to Zepora’s seminar. Either of these will take you to the home page for the seminar. I have built some slide shows of the 2010 seminar for you to enjoy! Please let me know if you have any questions or problems. And feel free to share this link with your quilting friends! NOTE: the slide shows are a Flash media and you may have to permit it to run the slide shows.

The information for the 2011 seminar will be loaded around the beginning of March and I will send an alert when it is ready! The teachers have submitted some fabulous stuff!!!

Take care,
Peg

2011: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It is January….whew! Every year I try to get through December gift making without my sewing room looking like a tornado has blown through and fail miserably! So, first thing I am going to do for myself in this new year is clean up. I will fold and put away all pattern pieces, bits of fabric and trims, put thread on the holder along with bobbins, gather all my tools and put them away, collect pins and get them away, etc! I will also evaluate the projects that are not completed, projects that I wish to begin versus what is happening in my family during the coming year (any babies, graduations, weddings, etc.) and begin formulating my plans. Each year I put things in a sequential “order of sewing.” It helps me get things done and helps me track UFO’s. I will also write a list of sewing supplies I need to purchase such as needles, thread, and rotary blades. Finally, I will take my machine apart and give it a thorough cleaning, change the needle, and wind tons of bobbins. Good sewing to you in the new year!

TCQ WEBSITE! http://treecityquiltguild.blogspot.com/

TIP OF THE MONTH

Start each day sewing in a clean and organized environment. It keeps your mind as uncluttered as your sewing room and you will be more productive when you have the time to sew.
