Quilt Retreat!

"People who worry about their hair all the time, frankly, are boring." ~ Barbara Bush

"You don't just luck into things as much as you would like to think you do.  You build step by step, whether it's friendships or opportunities." ~ Barbara Bush


     Last week our Quilt Guild held a quilt retreat.  The theme was "Out of this World UFOs".  It was so much fun!  We had a make and take each day and a mini class on binding a quilt.  One of our members, Marilyn did a trunk show or her mini quilts. We had a very nice meal each day, including the first day when we all went to lunch at a local restaurant.  We had lots of free sewing time to complete projects that we were working on and we played some games for prizes.  Each day we went home with lots of treats and gifts.  The best part of all is making new friends and getting to know each other better.




 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Since asparagus is now in season and reasonably priced it's a good time to make this for breakfast!

 
Asparagus Scramble

1-2 tsp. butter or oil

2 large eggs

1-2 Tbsp. water

Pinch of salt

Dash of pepper

6-7 asparagus spears, woody ends snapped off and cut into bite-sized pieces

1-2 green onions, sliced

¼ cup cheddar cheese

Heat butter or oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook asparagus and green onions a few minutes or until asparagus is bright green. Crack eggs in a medium bowl and add water and salt and pepper. Scramble with fork and add to asparagus.  Cook until eggs are done to your desire.  Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and cook until melted. Transfer to plates and serve.  Makes 1-2 servings.

  

Barbara Bush was one of our great first ladies.   I read this book quite a few years ago and really enjoyed it.  With her passing it brought back thoughts to my mind of this memorable book.
