another fun adventure

Jacky and I have been working  on the fall 

orange slab project  

so lots of meetings at her house 

and sewing sessions and show and tell lol

the other night after one of the sessions, I came home

with a new Dresden template and made this

(I know its not orange silly- I cant reveal the secret

till its time)

couldnt find a back so sewed up these

kites that she had cut and gifted to me

so springy

the next morning found me working diligently

on my deer quilt- (yeah right)

NOT

I cut out some blue blades

and stitched them up

found a back and finished it

LOVE IT

so I had to make another........

they are like potato chips I tell ya!

make sure you are saving your orange scraps

and you can even make some slabs so that you can 

be ahead of the game

our little project will be 

a no stress project~

you will want to get in on the fun

trust me

we will be doing this:

1) collect orange scraps   if you are short on some

call in your quilty friends to enhance the pile

2) taking oranges to yellow oranges and making slabs

dont worry- this time YOU will keep the slabs- if you want to add

browns thats ok. it is your project

we will be exchanging the pumpkin recipes that you 

have been finding and saving

I will try and make a file that we can all read

or will retype them on the blog for all to have

LOVE pumpkin and recipes made with it

Here is a quick one for ya

when I did weight watchers years ago the lady

that ran it used to come up with these weird recipes

that were awesome

take one can PUMPKIN  (not pie filling)

and one spice cake box

that is IT

mix just the two of them together

no eggs or anything else - ignore the box directions

batter will be a little stiff  you could add a tsp water if too stiff

make into a loaf, or muffins

for some pumpkin spice fun

you could make a cake too!

no added oil (fat) 

and quick and good........

bake till done. may take a little longer

as the pumpkin is wet but check

can "frost" with lite cool whip if desired. 

I like them plain as muffins.

the pumpkin adds fiber and vitamin A

there  you go..........one recipe already!

and you may even have the ingredients on hand

breakfast anyone?

oh and by the way,,,,,,,if you dont have spice cake mix

not to worry

use chocolate for an easy fudgy brownie like treat

or chocolate muffins

use yellow cake too.......try it and see

one of my favs was the choc cake mix and made like brownies in 

a brownie pan

top with Edys lower fat and sugar ice cream

that has like 80 cal per half cup

brownie sundae!  I KID YOU NOT

delish

(you're welcome)

3) Jacky and I each week will show you what we

are doing with our orange slabs and we

will share how we did those projects

so you can make one or all of them

your choice.........

you have the month of Aug and Sept to finish

and reveals will be Oct 1

(I will see if I can do a linky thing so we can all see)

I am looking into a giveaway too

just sayin..........

so..........

collect those orange scraps

look up your favorite pumpkin recipe and send it off to me so I 

can put it on the blog

and make sure you make something with  your

orange slabs and show it off on Oct 1st

as we get further into it I will have more details.

what cha say?
