Summer Squash Recipe

 Friend Kimber shared this squash and this recipe with me. It is easy and delicious.

Cut in 1/4" slices. The bumpy edges make for lace-looking slices

Dredge in this order:

• Italian Salad Dressing, Parmesan Cheese, Bread Crumbs

Bake in 400 degree oven until browned or pan fry in just a little olive oil.

The entire squash is edible, outer edge and all.

Curved Piecing

Thanks to all who came to Adel for our class on curved piecing last Saturday.  Watch for more class offerings.  We are planning a potential class on collage quilts for October.

 

Nothing but legs!

 

When in the world did this happen? It's like someone literally put stretchers on their legs!

Herbacious crafting

Part of the Adel Garden Tour included the after party at Penoach Winery which we dubbed "Herbs and Hors D'oeuvres".  

Guests were invited to select herbs and three plant stakes to label and take home.

These are gift planters we made for the homeowners on the tour.

 

Stain remover

This little quilt, one of my favorites, recently got a whole glass of red wine spilled on it at an outdoor garden party.

I Googled for best way to remove wine from a quilt and tried techniques in order listed:

• Rinse with cold water- still a stain
• Slather with salt, let set and then pour boiling water over top  - still a stain.
• Soak in equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide - still a stain
• Soak in water and Oxyclean for Stain Removal for 6 hours - 
• WINNER - no more stain!

 

Catching Up!

Time to post the July Temperature Quilt block. The average high temp in central Iowa for June 2022 was 86 degrees.

 

Happy 4th!
