I commented in my last post on a book that I got earlier in the week “Red and Green, An Applique Tradition” by Jeana Kimball. I didn’t realize when I ordered it that Jeana has a website. I had searched but didn’t look closely enough I bet. I had the nicest comment from her earlier today on the last post I made and she sent me a link to her website. You can order books 
directly from her and she will autograph also. Jeana also has a blog located at this link. Go look at her website and you will love her patterns and books – you just might be tempted to order 
I can’t be the only one working on too many projects!!
This will be a busy quilting year indeed! I will be trying to piece/applique 5 quilts and I will be trying to quilt 4 quilt tops already finished – oh the life of a quilter – we do suffer don’t we working with all these pretty fabrics and pretty patterns. I will certainly have a variety to keep me busy.
The fruitcake turned out wonderful! I made half the recipe and so my cake pan that I used was not real full. The piece here looks rather small – but it sure taste good.
I have saved this recipe and will make it again next year. This is not the dark chock filled with candied fruit that you normally find but a white fruit cake with dried fruit. See the link from my last post that will lead you to the recipe.
My “secret pal” from this past year Marianne is the one that led me to the fruit cake recipe. She also sent me a delightful Christmas present that I got yesterday in the mail.
Fabric, threads and a calendar -- thank you Marianne!
