Sandy D's second quilt done, Praline Pecan Cheesecake

I got my blog out and tea made before SKYPE-ing with Janice Wednesday morning (10/4).  Michael had breakfast on the lanair, then took off for a walk with Cookie.  We were both upstairs at 10:30…me for food and Michael to head to the grocery store.  Michael made my breakfast (onion/mushroom/cheese omelet on a bed of spinach) so that I could fire up Miss Scarlett and continue with Sandy’s quilt.  I worked on the quilt all day and by 7 PM the quilting was done….YAY!!!  

Even Michael said it looks awesome.  While it was quilting out, I got a few more blocks done on a new project. 

This one definitely needs a design wall for the layout, so I need to get the paper pinwheel OFF of the wall and ON to Miss Scarlett  :~).

I did take a break around dinnertime for some baking.  I knew I was going to need a lot of cream cheese in September, and there was a great sale at the end of August, so I toted up what I needed and Michael bought it for me.  Guess I have flunked basic math because I have 4 POUNDS of cream cheese leftover!!!  So, I decided to make a cheesecake for quilting on Thursday.  I’m not sure I’ve ever brought a dessert for a quilting luncheon before, so it will be interesting.  I made a Praline Pecan Cheesecake that everyone in Connecticut used to love, so we’ll see how it goes over here:

the topping of pecans, brown sugar & caramel sauce

After dinner I spent a bit of time weaving in bobbin ends on the quilt and also got 1/2 way through ripping out the basting before heading upstairs at 8:30 to knit and veg  :~).
