5-Minute Indian Inspired Soup

I made this recipe up yesterday and liked it so much I made it again for breakfast! Hope you enjoy it too.
1 can coconut milk (regular or lite)
1 can organic green beans (regular work fine too) - drained
1/3 jar roasted bed bell pepper
1 teaspoon curry paste (I like green but you can use red)
1 tablespoon garlic
2 tablespoons sun dried tomato paste (or 2 sun dried toms)
1 1/2 teaspoon grill seasoning
salt to taste
Heat. Blend with immersion blender. I tried this with green peas but did not like it as well. Could also try with mixed vegetables or carrots.

Simple Graphic Quilts

In my blog review today I found a couple of quilts are not only outstanding, but pretty darn easy to make. I have included the links to give credit to the quilters/designers. On the XO quilt below, check out her instructions for "asterisks" on her blog to see instructions on how to make the Xs. I wish I had time to stop what I am doing right this minute and make these 2 cool quilts!

Fix these Common Problems?

Thanks to my fellow blog readers for your comments on my last post. Here is another question for you. Should I fix these problems or move on? I have some folds that fold the wrong way on the back of my quilt and I had a little pucker. Should I get the pucker out and if I do the seams will not line up?

Mirror, Mirror, Am I the Sloppiest of them All?

Am I the sloppiest quilter out there? I am stuck sewing my rows together because everything is not lining up perfectly. You can see from these log cabin blocks that there are straglers. Should I have trimmed all the blocks to size before sewing them? Even though I am so careful, I keep having problems like this.

Capital Quilters Guild Show

My daughter and I went to the Raleigh-based guild show on March 12. There were so many great quilts! I am posting as many photos as I could take before my camera ran out of batteries. I am sorry I am unable to give credit to all the wonderful quilters, but you can check the guild site if you care to investigate. Mary Cochran, my wonderful and inspirational instructor, has 2 award quilts on the blog: Ursala Minor and the daisy quilt.

Olvia's Bears Quilted

Olivia's Bears has been quilted since before her birth. The day her father called with the birth announcement and name I began the embroidery. My heart sunk when I received the beautiful announcement to see that I spelled Michele with 2 "L"s. Will need to take out the Michelle completely and redo it then rewash it so the stitch marks come out. Asking the spelling of a babies name = a valuable lesson.

Thanks for the Clothes GranAnn!
