Wizard of Oz Quilt

So here is the finished quilt, my very first full size quilt, so pretty!



I can't wait to start another quilt, just trying to figure out what I want to make. I quite love the colorful quilts the most.

Aloo Paratha

So I am trying my hand at some Indian cooking and thought I would share the recipe with you in case you wanted to try it. I got it from Manjula's Kitchen:



The recipe is:

Dough:
1 cup Atta (Whole wheat chapatti flour)
1/2 cup water
1 pinch of salt

Filling:
1-1/2 cups mashed potatoes
2 spoons fresh chopped cilantro
1 tsp green Serrano chilies
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp salt

Knead the dough to make it smooth, I found it kind of sticky so I put a bit more Atta as I kneaded it. Separate it into 6 balls of dough.

Ensure the potatoes are at room temperature before mashing. Separate it into 6 balls as well. Watch the video and enjoy your Paratha.

I will post the pictures as soon as I am done making them. Off to make them now!
Enjoy!

Happy Belated Valentines Day

Well since I have someone in my life I thought I would actually make a card this year. It was our first Valentines together and even though we were apart I still made him a card. He works so much that we rarely get some good quality time together lately. It's really hard but I am praying that things will work out the way they should in God's perfect time. Without further ado, here is the card I made him.

My Wizard of Oz Quilt

Okay, so an update from a while back that my quilt top is now complete. I just am so amazed that God gave me two hands that were able to create IMHO a masterpiece. I don't want to seem boastful or brag but I can't believe I made it. I love it so much and now I am trying to decide how I want to quilt it. Isn't it whimsical?





Thanks for looking, if you have any comments, suggestions, please feel free to post. Positive criticism is always welcome!
