Do You Hygge?

This winter I am. A little book that I gave Hanna for Christmas.
I spent some Hygge time yesterday watching a movie and thumbing through one of my favorite quilt books under a cozy quilt.
It was like spending time with friend and mentor.
What a good example of Hygge Gratitude.
So many inspiring quilts and images!
I love this Hygge List:
and some Hygge images from my house
 Still enjoying the charm of my village...
This happened yesterday morning.  Pretty
Last week I went to NJ to visit my quilt buddies and Pauline made Tortellini Soup.  When I asked her for the recipe she just laughed and told me she found it on my blog.  

I'm sharing it again today. Get the full recipe by clicking here.  Pauline now says it is "The Forgotten Soup".
I received this photo of Sheila's finished 2016 Broken Dishes Swap quilt.  Love it!  
I had quite a few stencil sales this week.  I hope you like it and thanks!

So, do you Hygge?

Happy Groundhog Day - Happy Groundhog Day

Hello and thank you to the ladies of the Harvest Quilt Group of New Jersey who took my Hex Vex workshop on Saturday.  The potluck was delicious and I had a great time meeting everyone.

Here is a little doll quilt about 8" x  12" that I made as a Birthday gift for my friend, Sheila. 
One of the swappers sent me a cute little pack of 2 1/2" french prints.  I'm so sorry I forget who - tell me and I'll amend the post.  I made half square triangles, then more with the trims from the first until I had a little quilt.
The backing fabric is decorator weight and I found it on a "free table" somewhere or maybe a quilt show boutique.    I was in the Advertising world for over 10 years so I just loved it!    That Deviled Ham dude is scary.

Today I'm sharing a soup recipe that I found on Pinterest and that you can find by clicking here.

Tortellini Soup with Sausage and Spinach.  Easy Peasy.  I love a recipe that has under 10 ingredients.  (I removed the sausage from the casings)
 The prep is quick and the house smelled delicious.
I had some frozen french bread in the freezer so made up some quick cheesy crustinis too.
Topped with a little cheese (who can resist) and abbondanza.   Mr. Fun and I loved it and it made great leftovers and heats up well.
Hooray!  I have finished hand quilting my second block and I'm on my third. 
Don't you love a town where prominent, grown men dress in top hats to hold a furry woodchuck who goes by the name Punxsutawney Phil?    We are to have 6 more weeks of winter here in New England.  But it has been so easy - who cares?
I just love his little paws.  He looks like he is wearing leather gloves.  I wish he had a top hat too.

Ask me if my Dickens Village and Angel Tree are still out in Living Room.....I dare you......where did January go?

Happy Groundhog Day.  Happy Groundhog Day.   (see what I did there?)
