Quilting Class: Week 12

We have finished with this year's quilting class, and everyone has a quilt top made with their own hands. Hopefully, they are also taking a lot of information and inspiration with them.

Here are the students and their quilt tops:

Pam Osborn wants to use her skills to make quilts for her granddaughter. She is a fan of quilting books and the Internet sites about quilting. She does excellent work.

Valerie Sherer's quilt top turned out great, with her using all the bright greens and yellows. In addition to working full time, she and her family moved during our weeks of classes, but she never missed a meeting.

Emma Sherer is fourteen and has amazing talents in many areas. She added a lot to our class, and I'm so glad she was able to attend. She wrapped herself in her quilt top as soon as it was finished.

Denise Davis is multi-talented, and a hard worker. She would work all day, then come to our class, then go to choir practice afterward. A few weeks ago, she ran a half marathon in Huntsville. One of her skills in cake making, and on the last night of class, she brought this cake to celebrate.

As you can see, it is a scrap block. Denise had made eighty blocks at this point, and she was familiar with how they look. I was impressed by the seam lines--she made them using a rotary marker. In addition, the cake was delicious!

It has been a pleasure working with these ladies, and I am going to miss them.

This class was made possible by a grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts.

Amish in Stantonville, Tennessee

Last week, my sis and her hub went with us to the Amish community near Stantonville, Tennessee. It was a beautiful day, and we love driving to new places and finding new treasures. We enjoy these mini-trips we take together, where we giggle a lot and get caught up on everything. Also, the squirrels ate all our tomatoes, so we needed to find some to buy. You know the food you are buying is fresh when they bring it from the field while you are standing there waiting for it. Here is part of what we brought home, and it was all delicious. Stantonville is located in McNairy County, Tennessee, northwest of Shiloh National Military Park.

Holy Smoke Pie

I think it was in the late seventies that I first had Holy Smoke Pie. It was at a party at Debra Morris Harville's house. After we ate, Debra had to give the recipe to everyone there. I came home and made it for my family, and it has been a favorite since then. I always make it at holiday dinners, because I believe tradition is important. It has become a favorite of our granddaughters. I've heard it called Chocolate Delight, Four-Layer Chocolate Dessert, and other odd things. We call it Holy Smoke. Here is how I make it: Chop us a cup of pecans; set aside. Add a stick of softened butter (NOT margarine) to one cup of self-rising flour. Cut the butter into the flour. Add the chopped pecans, and work it all together. Save two tablespoons of the pecans to sprinkle on top. Pour into a 9" x 12" pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Spread it over the bottom of the pan. It helps to use your hands (or hand, if you have t

Cedar Trees in Cemeteries

If you ever wander in old cemeteries, and I know many of you do, you are bound to see some cedar trees. The tradition goes back to the early days of the United States and even earlier in Europe. Cedar trees were not always used, but some type of evergreen trees were planted because they were a symbol of everlasting life. Some Cherokees believed that cedars contained powerful spirits, including the spirits of the departed buried beneath them. Perhaps because they are known as burial trees, there are many superstitions that surround cedars. My grandmother told us in no uncertain terms that if we planted a cedar tree, we would die when it was large enough to shade our graves. Some others are: Never transplant a cedar tree; it will bring bad luck. If you transplant a cedar and it dies, you will die shortly. Planting a cedar tree in your yard welcomes poverty. Some say Christ was crucified on a cedar tree, and will bring bad luck if you burn it. If a cedar tree com
