Arkansas’s Best Burger

That’s right Arkansas’s best burger comes from a little place under 10 miles from my door!  We love it – in fact we rarely ever get a hamburger any place else in this area.  We were surprised to see it written up though in the current issue of Southern Living that was delivered to my mailbox today.  C.J.’s Butcher Boy Burgers – locally known just as  “C.J.’s” in Russellville just serves hamburgers, fries, cokes and I’m not sure but maybe shakes (I usually get a coke so haven’t noticed).  So glad we discovered them about 6 years ago.  This place is a 1950′s – 60′s atmosphere, they have a jukebox that plays music from that time period and has a red and white interior with 1950′s movie stars on the walls. They had been around a couple years before that – now they have two locations.  Article is on page 2 of the travel section.  I believe this magazine goes region to region so it is possible it won’t be in your issue if you live in a different state.

Ok enough on hamburgers – we do try not to have fast food often but when we do that is the place to go.

Recently I have been seeing a baby bunny rabbit outside near the house and never have the camera handy – until today! Here the bunny is sitting outside the window that is by my computer – this photo is taken through the window and the screen so isn’t the best quality but I have been having fun watching it so thought I would share (of course for all I know there are 4 or more of them out there and I might not be seeing the same one each time!).

I got a little more done on “Insanity” last night and have one triangle left to quilt and then I will be starting on Row H which is row #8.  I also got one side of the greenery appliqued down on the 3rd Christmas border.  I am going to work on cutting out a red flower and get it glue basted in place to start working on next.

Besides my Southern Living magazine that came in the mail today I also got my current issue of American Quilter. I thought the work of Debra Kemball was amazing.  Of course I am in awe of her hand applique and hand quilting.  Face it us hand piecers/hand applique/hand quilters are starting to be rare in the quilting world.  So many are going to machine work as we all know.  I can’t find a blog by her or a web page but here is a photo of a quilt of hers that won a prize at the International Quilt Festival.  Anyhow if you have a chance to look through the magazine the article and photo’s of her work starts on page 26 and there is a pattern of hers on page 66 with instructions.
