My new Thermo & some prep for retreat

 Don’t get too excited that I have posted twice this month.  I have been having fun with my Thermo. There is so much to learn. I have found some tasty snacks hubby and I like to have each night. So, the weekends I make a batch that will hopefully last the week. 

So tonight I made some for this week.

Parmesan crisps, beer & chilli peanut clusters, coffee martini’s and later in the evening garlic prawn risottos. ( sorry, no photo with that one.)

These are the best snack with a glass of wine. So yummy and tasty. Parmesan crisps.so easy to make.

These are great with a coffee. Chilli & beer peanut clusters.

Oh yummy

All while I have been trying to get ready for retreat. I was told there would be a SAL if we wanted. Of course I would, that’s all the reason for sewing with others.

42 blocks cut at 10” square was needed. Then a 6.5” border will be added. Sew it altogether then cut it up and sew it together again. Oh it sounds like fun…. doesn’t it?

Well here are my cut outs and planning. Who knows what it will end up looking like. I apologise if there are double ups. I do not know where I am going with this. I took loads more photos of layouts. It will end up what ever way it does.

All different layouts. I am so confused.

Where have I got to.

This what I am hoping for.

I can’t remember which one I have decided on but they are cut, stacked, marked and ready for sewing. 

I still have to choose a border.
