Redder

I think it was Judy in Michigan who said the L in LET should be bigger. She was right, but it also needed to be REDDER.

The light orange letters almost disappeared into the background. I needed them to be more prominent. After all, they are the entry into the quilt itself. That red L won't be quite so tall, but it's easier to trim it down than it is to make a bigger one.

When I'm going hell-bent-for-leather like this, the studio (and by extension the whole house) goes straight to hell.

I really want to sew this weekend, so I think I'll find an appropriate recipe to stick in the crock-pot on Saturday and just go to it.

update: As for the recipe, Liz, I was thinking more along the lines of this: Orange-Cranberry Pork Stew. It is one of my favorites.

  1. Crock pot beef bourginone (sp??)
    1 1/2 lb cubed beef chuck
    1 can sliced mushrooms, inc liquid
    red wine - use the mushroom can to measure
    flour to dust
    1 can golden mushroom soup
    1 grated carrot
    2 T worchestershire sauce
    1/2 t thyme
    salt & pepper to taste

    Brown the beef in a small amount of olive oil, don't cook through
    Add to crockpot, add remaining ingredients, mix well. Don't add any additional liquid, it will get juicy while it cooks on LOW for 8 hours. Do not cook on high, it will be just awful (ask me how I know this)
    Have fun sewing, this quilt is looking fabulous
