It was a busy three months sewing t-shirt/memory shirt quilts,
but I made the Christmas deadlines and got them all done...whew!
I made six t-shirt quilts for my friend, his wife and three children.
This t-shirt quilt was for my niece

My 2013 Recipe
RITZY CHOCOLATE MINT COOKIES
1/2 pound semi-sweet dark chocolate chips
2-3 drops peppermint extract
1 sleeve of Ritz Crackers
Some crushed candy canes
Melt dark chocolate over low heat or in a glass cup at 15-second intervals in the
microwave (stir after each 15 seconds.) Stir 2-3 drops of peppermint extract into
the melted chocolate (don't use too much peppermint--the 2-3 drops is plenty.)
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Ritz Cracker in the melted chocolate.
Place on a foil covered cookie sheet making sure they don't touch each other.
Sprinkle each chocolate dipped cracker with a small amount of crushed candy cane.
Chill. Eat. Enjoy.

Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange 2024
It's time for the yearly Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange!
This is always such a fun one so I'm glad it's the one that ends my run with blog hops.
I really have to say thank you to Joan for hanging in with me for all these years.
She's really good at slapping me on the side of the head when my brain gets sidetracked.
She amazes me with her love for tiny fabric pieces and her ability to sew like a speed demon.
Having her as my wicked Halloween friend has been a pleasure, too.
Thanks, Joan! xo
Though Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks had to end her blog hop hostess run early,
I have to thank her for being a part of my life...thank you, Carla!
There's still a couple kayaks in my garage waiting for you to use. xo
A huge thank you goes to all of you who've inspired me all these years.
You are just the best! xo
Now on to this year's goodies...
I seem to be on a quilt kit/panel sewing kick lately.
Usually I prefer using my own pattern or design on a quilt, but those kits can be enticing.
This quilt was "Kris Kringle" by Riley Blake Designs.
I loved the panel and it was on sale, so buying the kit was a no brainer.
My youngest daughter made cookies for this blog hop while I was visiting her
and the rest of the family in Ohio. There were amazing and so delicious!
The Buckeye Graham Crackers recipe can be found HERE on Dang That's Sweet blog.
