Okay, I did block two of the baskets...and decided it didn't go at all with block 1. Although I wanted them scrappy, the colors were all wrong. So, I redid block 1. What do you think?

Sister's Choice
I'm working on a Sister's Choice for Candace, our beloved kindergarten teacher who is retiring this year. Here are some of the 9 patches.
Sampler
This is the FabShopHop qult for April. Lizzie was kind enough to go bunny hunting for me so I could get all 13 blocks - I've already downloaded the first. I just love it and can't wait to start thinking about colors - I like this color way, but might be a bit creative. Since I've sorted all my fabric into color bins, maybe I could come up with a fun combination.

Cake Pops
Okay, here is our first try at cake pops. Oh, the lessons learned!
First, I didn't put the dough in the frig, then make balls and put them in the frig. I somehow skipped the whole "cold dough" step, which would've helped. If they get the least bit warm they melt.
Second, sprinkle don't dip in sprinkles...they are just gloppy (which, frankly, Sarah thought was great).
Jerry said they taste good, which is what really matters. The looking nice can come later.
Farmer's Wife Status
Okay, I am somewhat officially at 18 (although I need to redo that little green one toward the bottom). I am thinking about using a darker green to do the sashing (not THIS green...but I wanted to see the effect). I was worried the blocks didn't have enough contrast.
I've started jumping around. This book requires you to print all the patterns, so I've started doing the ones I already have printed.
