Donation quilt done

The floral fabrics for this quilt are from Kafee Fasset collection and the light gray is from a jelly roll; and all these fabrics came from the CPBee fabric bins for donation quilts. 
I quilted it using Amelie Scott Designs from the book Custom Quilt on Your Embroidery Machine. The pattern is SG Feather on the blocks and a feather sprig probably from Oesd patterns on the sashings. 
Another quilt on the floor photo. It is what it is.

Row quilt challenge

These blocks, now a quilt, have been in my WIP for a while. 
The blocks were made by the members of the CPBee for me. I gave the fabrics and an approximate dimension of the finished row; and the person had a month to complete the blocks. The picture was taken with the quilt on the floor, which is never a good thing. But it is beautiful.
 I used a 80/20 blend batting, Glide thread, and a quilt in the hoop pattern by Amelie Scott from the Edge to edge Quilting Jumbo package I called "Garden."

About funny husband and such

These days of social distancing are trying to say the least. 
It helps when DH has a weird sense of humor.
This note was left on my design wall a few days back. 
The best part is that he helped me with organizing my studio. (which lasted a whole few hours).😊

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

I have made this cake for the past 33 years.
Since this is a place I can always search for my "stuff" I am posting the recipe

Sour Cream Coffee Cake (Kathleen recipe)

Cream 2 sticks of butter with
            2 cups sugar until light and fluffy
Add     2 eggs

Add 2 cups flour (plain)
        1 tsp baking powder
        1 tsp salt

Add 1/2 tsp vanilla
         1 cup sour cream

Pour 3/4 of the batter into a greased, floured bundt pan (or tube pan)

Sprinkle on topping made from 3/4 cups finely chopped pecans
                                                    1/4 cup brown sugar
                                                     2 tsp cinnamon and
                                                     2 tsp vanilla
Add the rest of the batter
Bake at 350F (180C) for 60 minutes
remove immediately from the oven
Coll 5-10 minutes before removing from pan

I would include a picture; but half is in the freezer and the other half mysteriously disappeared. ^.^
