I'm on my way to a long awaited and much anticipated Quilt Retreat today.
Here is a little gift I made for my fellow retreaters: Little Fabric Scrap Buckets: I found the pattern on Pinterest and you can find here.
I found these cute buttons at a quilt show here in CT.
It was really fun mixing and matching the patterns.
I love one, a fried egg at the bottom of the Rooster fabric, lol.
this has the mustache fabric with royal crowns.
And I'm passing along a new Crockpot recipe: Fake out Take Out - Beef and Broccoli - also found on Pinterest.
Here is the recipe.
Here are the changes I made to the recipe:
I used slender tender green beans
I added raw peanuts
I added toasted sesame seeds
I added crushed red pepper
**I also cooked it for 1 hour at high and then 4 hours at low. Perfect for a busy day of sewing.
Have a great weekend sewing, cooking, gardening whatever you are doing.

What lucky ladies to receive such cute, clever gifts and to get to spend time at a retreat with you. The beef and broccoli looks fab. Our crockpot gets a workout several times a week. My kind of fast food! Hope you have a fun time!
How gorgeous. I think I need a couple myself. Hope your retreat is fun.

Those are the cutest scrap buckets ever! And the buttons are too cute. Hope you are having a great time and getting lots of sewing done.
You are too much! Doesn't the cuteness ever end?!? Love the scrap buckets (can they serve as wine cooler buckets at retreats as well???). I am sure everyone had a great time at the retreat.
Very cute little buckets - don't you just love Pinterest, it has everything!
Thanks for the bucket pattern link ~ yours are so much fun! I've been meaning to make some and I like the proportions of these.
It is getting to be crockpot time around here. Thanks for the recipe!
