Green Grows

I have sewn together the top half of the Green Deco quilt. As I was working the other blocks fell off the design wall. I wasn't really worried, I knew I would design it again once I got the top half sewn up. So that was next.

This is what I will sew tougher, barring any other karmic accidents.

I'm sewing this together in chunks.

This quilt is prettier, and greener, in real life.

My Mom and her boyfriend came over for dinner last night. I had made some pulled pork so we had pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw. I also made an ice cream cake - basically I made a variation of a recipe I found online. I made mine smaller, used Dulce de Leche instead of peanut butter, almonds instead of peanuts, and I added some toffee bits to the ice cream between the crunchy layers. And then I added toasted sliced almonds to the top. My Mom sure does love her ice cream. Me, ice cream is OK, but not to-die-for. I gave her the cake to take home.
