Cowboy kids

Textile Traditions

My business partner, Sue, and I own a quilt/fabric shop called Textile Traditions in Weaverville, California. We teach classes, host the Thursday Night Strippers Quilt Guild on Thursday nights, attend quilt shows and classes, and just have a great time with our many friends and supporters.
Sue just finished a small quilt top showcasing Laurel Burch's Fanciful Felines fabrics and I put together another small top using the new fabrics that arrived yesterday, featuring cowboy kids.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It has been snowing for a few days up here in the mountains and we have been enjoying it! Its not so good for business (we closed the office and I had one customer at the shop today) but it fun to stay indoors by the fire and work on projects that might otherwise sit undone.

Montana

This summer we went to Libby, Montana to visit my sister Sherry and her family. We had lots of fun hiking and picking huckleberries. Here is a picture of our family on Chicago Peak on the Kootenai National Forest.

Quilting Classes

I started teaching beginning quilting classes this year at our shop, Textile Traditions. This is the first quilt we did.

Christmas Day 2007

So, this is my first post to my brand spanking new blog spot. I am a 51 year old woman who's daughters have to help her with most things electronic. This afternoon I made chili rellanos casserole. Here is the picture . . . . and the recipe is:

1. 5 eggs
2. About 1 cup milk (who measures?)
3. Some seasoning salt (how much do you like?)
4. One 7 oz. can of diced green chiles
5. A dash of red pepper flakes
6. Cayenne pepper

Whisk the eggs with the milk, add spices and diced chiles. Grate in some pepper jack cheese and mix well. Pour into a casserole dish (not too big unless you are doubling the recipe). Grate on some more pepper jack cheese on top (or cheddar if you prefer). Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. If you use a larger casserole dish and the egg cheese mixture is not very deep, you will need to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't overcook. Enjoy!
