Sunday Summertime Quilting

Nothing says summer like freshly picked wild blackberries. The fence rows are covered with unkept blackberries vines with juicy berries  ripe for the picking. 

Happy Sunday , ya'll! Welcome! 

A small bowl will do for Mr. Pinker to make another cobbler. 

This cobbler is different than my mom's but oh so yummy . 

I have  a big old bowl ready for you  with a cold glass of milk . Come on . Join me on this Slow Stitching Sunday as we look over  my Summer Days Quilt. 

But first let me give you the recipe. 

Blackberry Cobbler

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups of fresh blackberries rinsed and drained

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of self rising flour 

1 cup of milk 

1/4 cup of butter- melted. 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat over to 350 degrees.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour , sugar and milk . 

3 .Stir in the butter. 

4. Pour into a lightly greased skillet .

5. Add the blackberries on top. 

6. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. 

This is a simple 1 cup recipe. You can use any type of fruit. You may want to add a dash of salt or lemon juice. 

Last year over several months, I shared my Summer Days embroidery blocks. By summer ends , I had the blocks all pieced in a double Churn Dash setting.

I am quilting 1/4 " around the edges of each block and around the embroidered motifs. 

 

Well I am half way there on the hand quilting. So I thought I would show you my blocks that I have quilted already.
