Taggie Quilt.




Hi, someone from Victoria requested my taggie quilt project. Here it is! Did it with my featherweight 221. The Nine Patch Quilt (quilt kit from the Quilter's Patch), Sleep Sak from Kwik Sew pattern, and the simple taggie quilt from left over material from the Nine - Patch Quilt, plus some ribbons.

Finally made it to the fabric store...

Yeah, had my JoAnne's Coupons with me. I bought Lite Steam-a-Seam 2 1/4 inch size, and Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 in 1/2 inch size.

Tammy (Izzie) did a t-shirt tutorial (which will eventually get up on this blog), and showed me the wonders of self fabric binding on the neckline, and using Lite Steam-A-Seam for my sleeves and shirt bottom hem. Oooo, I got to use the serger too. Preety Scarry.

Here are the patterns that I bought.
Simplicity 2711, 2712, 2707, 3513, 4206, 5695, 5982, & 7189 .. the objective was, okay cheap patterns, plus looking at varied styles of capri pants.

All those pants I made for Grace have really come in handy. Especially now that she is starting potty training!

The "Best" Oatmeal Pancakes!

This is the recipe from my mother-in-law for the "Best" Oatmeal Pancakes....ever!

1 1/2 C Quick Oats ...................Pour Milk over Oats
2 C Milk ................... Let stand 2 minutes
1/3 C Oil .................... Add next 2 ingredients
2 Eggs
3/4 C All Purpose Flour ............. Add the rest of the ingredients
2 T. Sugar ............. cook em up and eat!
2 1/2 t. Baking Powder
1 t. salt

If you sub in applesauce for the oil, and egg whites (double the amount - 4 egg whites) for the eggs or egg beaters, then by eating 3 four inch pancakes it is 3 weight watchers points.

I will be evaluating the comments in the Sewing Pattern Giveaway today, then submitting the valid entries to Random.org. Good luck to all who posted.
