Happy FALL!!<br />
<br />
The cooler temperatures are welcome here!! :)<br />
<br />
It's been a whirlwind of a year for our household and I'm hoping that we are finally done moving for at least a decade (hopefully longer). We are mostly settled and enjoying our new home!! It's a HUGE blessing being back in Utah near most of our family and most of our grandchildren. Our hearts literally ache having two of our children and their families living out of the country. The good news is that they're all planning to come visit us in 2020. Yippee!! :)<br />

This month I decided to have y'all help me make more Great Granny Squares for a quilt I started several years ago. When Lori Holt did her Great Granny Sew Along I made a quilt using 9 blocks. I loved it so much that I started making more blocks for another quilt but, with all of our moves over the last five years the blocks I'd made got put in a box and set aside for another day. Well, it's time for the blocks to come out of storage and get some attention!! I'm hoping to make a kingsize quilt for my bed. I've been digging into my stash and pulling out lots of my REDS, BLACKS and GRAYS and mixing them with an assortment of background fabrics. I started with one background and then added a second background but I no longer have either so I decided to make it scrappy with a variety of different backgrounds as well. I think it will all work out in the end. Thanks for all of your help this month!! ~Kim<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

The above photo shows how I pressed the seams on the back of the block. This photo will be a good visual reference to help see and understand how I press my Great Granny Blocks.<br />
<br />
Just a reminder that I'd like you to NOT TRIM DOWN the BLOCKS! I will take care of that when the blocks are returned to me. Thanks.<br />
<br />
This last photo I used some of same fabric that I used in the first block but with the Black fabric in the Great Granny round and the Red Fabric in the Mama Round. It's fun to change fabric positions to get different looks.<br />

I hope you are all enjoying the cooler temperatures! I know I am... but I am wanting to cook and quilt! This beautiful fall weather makes me want to make homemade bread for my family and eat hearty meals! I'm going to share my favorite recipe of all time!!<br />
<br />
Tri Tips with Gravy<br />
<br />
3 T Olive Oil<br />
3 cloves minced Garlic<br />
2 lbs Tri Tip cut into large pieces (I have also used roast, pork loin, stew meat or any other cuts)<br />
Salt and Pepper to taste<br />
1 10 oz can Beef Consomme or 1 1/2 C beef broth (if I use pork, I use chicken or pork bouillon)<br />
1 can water<br />
2 Bay Leaves<br />
3/4 T dried Thyme leaves<br />
3 T softened butter<br />
3 T Flour<br />
<br />
Heat oil and saute garlic in a cast iron dutch oven with a lid. Salt and pepper Tri Tip and brown meat. Pre-heat oven to 300. Pour broth over meat and add water, bay leaves and thyme. Cover and bake 2 hours until meat is fork tender. Mix flour in softened butter. Remove meat from pan. Stir flour mixture into drippings until thickened. Add a little water if needed to gravy. Stir meat into gravy and serve over mashed potatoes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We make this all the time with all kinds of meat and it is delish!<br />
<br />
In case you wanted to know a little about me... I am a stay at home mom of 3, married to my best friend and love of my life for the last 28 years (In November). Our kids range from 21 yr old son who is getting married soon, 15 yr old son who is learning to drive and a 10 yr old girl who is my sweet girl who likes the same things I do... except slime! I don't get that one! ;)<br />
We love to travel with our camping trailer, hiking, playing board games (Settlers of Catan is our favorite!) and hang out together! We love football and food, which they go together perfectly! I love to cook, quilt and craft! My mom taught me how to make all the best comfort foods and I have been sewing since I could sit at the machine and touch the pedal!! She let me make anything I wanted and my favorite babysitting job was for an owner of a fabric store. She said I could earn money or fabric.... I chose the fabric!! Found some great treasures there! I have sewn<br />
<br />
many wedding dresses, curtains for parade of homes, bags, clothes for work the next day, blessing clothes and I was a seamstress for a custom clothing business for 5 years so I learned a ton there!!<br />
<br />
We have started our own family business called The Quilted Poppy where we make beautiful Barn Stars... you can find us on instagram@thequiltedpoppy and we all paint and build the stars together. It has been a fun adventure!!! Hoping to build it even more with this crazy crew of ours!!<br />

OK, here we go! I have selected the "Great Granny"! I chose my sisters last fabric line, "In the Meadow" (in the stores now) and used some of my stash to add to it! Oh my these blocks are fun! What started out as a throw blanket, is now becoming a queen size quilt. You just can't stop once you start these blocks. I know that there are a million tutorials online and books...but sometimes I like to figure things out. So, I cut my white blocks at 2.5x3 instead of 2.5x3.5. Oops! So when you trim, there will be a little jaggedness to the edges. No worries, I will be sashing the blocks together. <br />
<br />
I also sent you each a little something from my other hobby. The bookmark cabochon was made by me. It is out of Box Elder Burl, which is usually a bland blonde. I then dye them to show off the figure and well, to make them colorful. I figured you can use them to hold a place in your favorite quilting book. <br />
<br />
And now a word on shop safety! While fussy cutting...well you know the rest! Yes, I will have a month or so of healing! Luckily the shearing was quick and clean and no blood on my fabric! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So please be careful! I have included all the fabric you will need for the blocks and if you would use white thread that would be great! <br />
<br />
Now, I want to take a poll...How many of you have had a wicked quilting accident? Please no gory details. Just curious if my wood turning hobby (table saws, sharp lathe tools, wood flying at my head) is safer than my quilting hobby? Your answers will determine if I need more insurance! <br />
Happy sewing my Bee Sisters!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">a Diane Keaton type of personality. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I can't say that I would disagree with them!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">entertain myself.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">all about textiles!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I have a vintage clock on my side of the bed that I wind every single night for years.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">One winter night the electricity had gone out... my husband wanted to set his clock and asked what time it was... </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Confused, I said "how would I know, the electricity went out"!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Then I realized that he meant my wind up clock...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I had to confess that the clock never worked... I just like to hear it</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">That always makes me laugh now!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I don't usually share these personal things...</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">but gosh, we have been together for a real long time now...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #434343; font-family: Source Sans Pro, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">so I thought, </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I am an Original Member of the Bee’s Knees Quilting Bee that started wayyyy back when, in fact I submitted the name for our Bee.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
I was raised in San Jose California, just south of San Francisco, but married a Utah boy where we raised our family. We recently celebrated our 40<sup>th</sup> Wedding Anniversary, have 5 children and 4 grandchildren. We now call Arizona our home because our 2 oldest daughters and all of our grandchildren live here. I love Arizona in the Winter. (enough said!)<u></u><u></u></div>

I began quilting in 2000 and now work within the Industry doing a variety of things. I help a Designer get ready for Quilt Market by piecing and binding many of her quilt tops with her latest fabric lines and patterns. I also help a Vendor get ready for Shows, plus work her Booth at several National Shows throughout the year. I love what I do!<u></u><u></u></div>

I find most of my Inspiration through Instagram, and being part of several local quilt groups, including the Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild. Quilty friends are the Best! My favorite place in the World was being able to visit Israel and to feel the Culture and to walk the paths of our Savior Jesus Christ. I’m passionate about Family History, and along with quilting work on it a little bit every day. These are the people who contributed to everything I have and enjoy, and I feel a tremendous pull to remember and honor them. My favorite movies are the Classics, when life was a little more simple and clean. I often quilt by Amazon, Netflix or Podcasts and go months without watching TV. Scanning the headlines on my News APPs is about all the shock my brain can handle.<u></u><u></u></div>

When not quilting I spend most of my time with family, babysitting grandkids (smitten!) or volunteering with my Church. <u></u><u></u></div>

My latest craze has been cooking with an Instant Pot. I love good food, but would rather be quilting than cooking <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif;"><img alt="😊" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60a" data-image-whitelisted="" goomoji="1f60a" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60a" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span> I can hardly believe how fast and easy this appliance makes meal preparation! I especially like that I can use frozen meat, or unsoaked beans, and have dinner ready in less than an hour, with one pot for clean up. My kind of cooking! Here is the first recipe I tried, and believe me, it’s that easy.</div>

These blocks were so fun to do and appreciate the simplicity of the blocks.<br />
<br />
Nedra, your choice of colors is fun to do. You always have spectacular blocks to work on.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I made these log cabins for Charlene,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> from the Christmas Swell line of fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I opened up her neatly folded bundle of fabric, I realized that all of the pieces were precut.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I just had to follow the numbers and the color diagram she sent.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Easy peasy!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is going to be such a cheery Christmas quilt, I'm anxious to see it when it's finished :)</span><br />

I really enjoyed the challenge of this block, and I love how it turned out! (This is my first block in the bee, and I got off to a late start. So sorry about that!)

I was a little nervous when I first read through the pattern, but looking at Melissa's finished block helped me to visualize the construction and the fabric layout. Once I got going, it came together without a hitch!

What a fun pattern! I can't wait to see all the blocks together!

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I started quilting as a hobby in 2005 when my husband and I left home and moved cross country to go to school. I made baby quilts for friends a a few large quilts over the next few years. In 2010 I discovered the online quilting world and I jumped into the deep end of the pool. I started my blog, Happy Quilting and never dreamed it would open so many amazing opportunities for me. Because of it, I have now have the joy of creating my own designs that I share as tutorials, published works, a pattern line, and even my own book, Irish Chain Quilts. I love designing and find inspiration in just about everything and anything. My sweetheart and I have been married for 18 years this December, we have five amazing children, and we live in beautiful Cedar City, Utah. </span></span></div>

But if you want a single person,it would be my mother. She is a wonderful women who I have always been able to look up. She exemplifies all of the qualities that I want to have in my roles as wife and mother. We chat daily on the phone and I look forward to our conversations each and every day. I love my Mother!! </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">

I listen to a Pandora Broadway station every day and love to sing along, especially not that no one is home and I can sing really loud. I have attended so many plays but I think my favorite was Wicked.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Where is your favorite place in the world?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> That is a tuff one as there are so many places that I still want to see. But honestly, I think my favorite place is up Cedar Mountain at our family property because it always means being there with family and lots of fun and good food.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What is the last book you have read?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I love to listen to books while quilting. And I am a Young Adult Fantasty Fiction Junkie, especially if it is a series. Although, it kills me to have to wait a year for next book to come out ;) You can find me on Goodreads under Melissa Corry to see all of the books I have been reading. I just finished The Traitor's Game by Jennifer A Nielsen. I have loved her previous 2 series, and I think this one is going to be just as amazing. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What are you passionate about? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well. obviously quilting ;) But I also love being outdoors with my family. Like I said earlier, we have family property up Cedar Mountain and we love to spend time there ;)</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What is your favorite movie?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Wow, that is so hard to pick!!! But the movie I tend to always choose when my husband is away on camps with the boys is Pride and Prejudice. So I guess that is my favorite as it is my go to show ;) I can be pressing fabrics and watch because I have the whole thing pretty much memorized. I know right when to look up to see when Mr. Darcy holds hands with Miss Elizabeth ;)</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What is the craziest thing you have ever done?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #666666; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I don't know about Crazy, but probably a little shocking. I used to get paid by fellow students to burp the alphabet in middle school. They would buy me treats if I could get all the way from A-Z and let's just say, I got a lot of treats :) Ya, I was quite the lady.</span></span></div>

I mastered my mother's pie crust recipe a few years back and now it's my job to make the Thanksgiving pies each year for the big family gatherings ;) And my daughter is really starting to get into baking, so now we can enjoy baking together, and that makes we want to make a lot more time for treat making. I also love to make homemade chocolates at Christmas. It has been a family tradition for years and I love that my kids are getting old enough now to really get in and make right along side me ;) </span></span></div>
