Secret Santa?

surprise

Someone sent me two lovely boxes of Cafe du Monde beignet mix with the message, “Happy Mardi Gras”. I haven’t made beignets in ages. Thank you whoever you are!

I’m testing out a new lotion bar recipe and added some rose pearl mica colorant just for fun. Aren’t they pretty?

Stash party pinwheels progress!

I finally got brave enough to get my sashing done on the stash party pinwheel quilt. Of course there was a little glitch. The calculations for the corner triangles was off so the first ones I cut were too small. Boy, am I ever glad I always buy a little extra fabric!  I found a tutorial on how to do the math for an on point quilt and realized someone left a strip of sashing out of the calculations- you have to account for it on *both* sides of the block, not just one. Oops! Anyway, that make a big difference in my corner triangles but thankfully I had more than enough extra fabric to cut new ones the right size. Now I need to go in search of border fabrics and decide if I want to leave this quilt square or do unequal borders to make it into a proper bed sized quilt.
