Crafted Stitches

 I've started the Quintessential Wallet from Sweet Pea.  The pieces are each done in the hoop on my embroidery machine and then sewn together.  I barely had enough fabric to make this. I have all the pieces ready to sew together. This will be pretty simple until I get to the gusset. We will see how it goes! If you have made this wallet leave a comment and let me know how it went together for you.  The next project I need to get going on the the Chandelier quilt. It is a free pattern and you can find it by going to Lella Boutique  

 Baked a loaf of rosemary, garlic, parmesan bread and the house smelled so good!  I used this everything bagel no knead bread recipe. Everything Bagel No-Knead Bread  I modified the recipe slightly by omitting the everything bagel seasoning and using 1 tbsp of rosemary, 2 tbsp minced garlic (I used the kind in the jar) and 1/2 cup of grated fresh parmesan (not the Kraft parmesan). It turned out amazing and I think we like it better than the everything bagel bread.  To be honest, this recipe is sooo easy and tastes as good as any sourdough bread I've ever made. I don't think I will ever make sourdough again! Looking to try some other spices/flavors so if you have some suggestions, leave me a comment.
