going bananas for a quilt finish

This is seriously the best cake and banana something I have ever tasted. I just loved it. I highly recommend checking this recipe and trying it. I did a lot of cooking while my Grandson was here. He eats like a teenager. I think his parents will have a hard time keeping him fed. I remember when his Dad left home we dropped from 7 gallons of milk a week to 2 gallons. good times....

I have a finish. This is a quilt kit I purchased in 2013.  I thought Maxine was actually cute.Maybe I identified with her quirky sense of humor. I finished it fairly quickly, but it has been in the "to be quilted" pile. I just used a free motion swirl. When I do free motion, I worry that I am not keeping it overall consistent. But, it seems to be, when I finally spread it out, just fine.

Happy Saturday

We had some visitors. Poor things, the pool isn't open yet. It was a blustery day, probably the leftovers of bad weather down south. The pool cover wanted to fly off but not the ducks. LOL

Just a bit of birthday cake with a really wonderful frosting.
I had read somewhere that to make a box cake taste like it came from the bakery. I needed to add an additional egg, substitute milk for the water, and replace the oil with melted butter double the amount. I was afraid to do the whole butter thing, cholesterol and all, but I did the rest, and it made a wonderful box cake taste spectacular. The icing was a whip cream cheese frosting found here. This was a very successful frosting and a big favorite for the birthday boy.

Still arranging floating stars on the design wall

And I have decided on borders for the pink sampler quilt. This will be my first RSC 17 challenge for the month since it is multi colored. Ok, I am stretching the rules but.... I want this done.

Today will be a much needed day on the longarm so it will be ready for the pink quilt soon.
Happy Saturday.
