ravioli dish tutorial

Michael left just after 7 AM on Thursday (6/22) for golfing at Tega Cay…even though it looked VERY overcast and gloomy.  I decided to take advantage of the fact that quilting for Scrap Happy was cancelled for the day…and I had Miss Scarlett fired up by 7:30.  All day to sew with no responsibilities or meetings…..HEAVEN!!!  And this is the second day in a row….as Wednesday was the same  :~).  I thought that if I kept my nose to the grindstone, I could potentially have the quilting done on both of my quilts by the end of the day, so I decided I had better get some labels done.  By 1 PM the first quilt was all quilted (I’m still enamored of the starlets pattern, so that’s what I’m using): 

and I had 2 labels done:  

While the quilting/labeling was going on, I decided I had time in between to cut out a new quilt.  I searched through Ginny’s stash and found BIG yardage on a beautiful red/white/blue print:  

I thought this would look nice in the 4-patch design I just finished, so I got it all cut out:  

After that I decided I’d had enough noise for the time being (with both Miss Scarlett and my embroidery machine going it sometimes gets to me) so I headed out to the deck to read my book for a bit, enjoy the 'silence' of nature and take a nap :~).  Michael came home from golf…unfortunately it rained the entire time they were golfing  :~(.  We talked for a bit, then he headed out and got us ice cream for a late lunch!!  Baskin Robbins flavor of the month is this ice cream with big hunks of TWIX bars in it, and it is yummy.  After that I headed back downstairs while he took a nap!  We had dinner around 6:30…I saw these raviolis at Trader Joes: 

so I sautéed some zucchini from Loree/Reg’s garden along with chopped onions in sage butter (that I froze last year):

while Michael cooked the raviolis…then they got dumped in the skillet with a bit of fresh sage from our garden….

and 3 little cherry tomatoes….yum!  Michael said it was an excellent meal:

I headed to the studio once more to get a few more rows done on the second quilt (I didn’t get it finished…grindstone be d_mned!, but I only have 4 rows left) before heading back to my honey to knit and watch TV.
