Yesterday was some other mutual depression temperature in addition to windy day, finished off amongst a fabulous sunset. This time, I looked inward the correct direction.
It took solely a few minutes for that distinct ridge of clouds to dissipate, in addition to and thence it took on a to a greater extent than uniform ruby in addition to blueish glow.
The twenty-four hr menstruation started amongst breadstuff dough. This is an interesting dough, made from all-purpose, whole wheat, in addition to rye flours, along amongst salt, yeast, in addition to a surprise improver of sparkling cider (like Martinelli's). I neglected to own got pictures of the outset few steps. When I wrote yesterday, it was yet coming to room temperature. After it warmed upwards enough, I flattened it out in addition to added bits of apple, folding the dough in addition to adding to a greater extent than apple, a picayune combat at a fourth dimension until it was all incorporated (one Granny Smith apple tree was enough). After that, I shaped it into a ball in addition to position it inward a bowl coated amongst walnut crude in addition to permit it ascent for most 2-1/2 hours.
The side yesteryear side stride was to deflate it in addition to shape it into a ball, in addition to thence permit it ascent inward a banneton. When I left it to rise, it looked similar this.
About 1-1/2 hours later, it had risen significantly in addition to was gear upwards for baking.
It went into the oven in addition to onto a preheated baking rock sprinkled amongst cornmeal.
After most forty minutes...oooh...aaaaah. One loaf of Country Bread amongst Apples.
After it cooled, I cutting into it. It looks similar this inside.
We had it amongst some soup for dinner terminal night, in addition to and thence in i trial again this morning, toasted, in addition to spread amongst some apple tree pie jam I made terminal summer. Mmm, mmm, mmm. So, I've given you lot the link to the recipe dorsum there, but I've larn out aware that some recipes inward the NYTimes require a paid subscription. If you lot desire the recipe in addition to can't opened upwards the link, in addition to thence email me, in addition to I'll ship it to you.
So piece all that was going on, I was doing laundry in addition to sewing. I made the tenth Tiny Tuesday block. This i is a "multiplying four-patch." Pretty cute. It's a four-patch inward a four-patch inward a four-patch. You tin give notice discovery the instructions for that right here.
It's laid inward a diagonal setting this week.
Then, I got to operate finishing the plough over for the Project Quilting challenge, Abecedasius. Interestingly, that was the give-and-take of the twenty-four hr menstruation from Merriam-Webster that came across my e-mail this morning.
So here's my quilt top. It was difficult finding a edge fabric, in addition to I wanted the quilt a picayune larger. With Mike's input, I decided to usage the same stuff from the background amongst a picayune halt edge of that stripey stuff. I'll usage the same stripe for the binding when it's finished.
This is the stuff I'm using for the back. It's been inward my stash absolutely forEVER!
It took a lot longer to larn to this betoken than expected, in addition to thence I won't complete it off earlier this afternoon. Do you lot always own got a twenty-four hr menstruation where you lot can't seem to create anything right? And you lot forget how to create uncomplicated math? That form of thing. So anyway, when I started quilting, I stitched inward the ditch around the letters in addition to heart, deviating to stitch diagonally where I could. Deviating: related to "deviance." Just sayin' inward illustration you're keeping track.
Here's how that's looking from the back.
Then I started filling inward the background amongst this meandering see fill. I was most 1/3 of the way when I needed to halt for the day.
I'm filling inward all the areas within the halt edge this way, in addition to and thence I'll own got to determine whether to create the same affair inward the outer edge or create something else. I'll determine when I larn that far. I'm actually hoping to larn this finished off today because the flamingos are squawking..."Quilt us now!" Birds. Ya gotta honey 'em.
Today I'm heading out for the haircut I rescheduled from terminal calendar week because of snow. As I facial expression out the window now, at that topographic point is snowfall falling. Yikes. Hopefully, it won't brand it my way, but I actually don't similar driving inward snow. It's supposed to warm upwards inward a few hours, thence perchance it won't stick around. Aside from that, I'll simply force on amongst my quilting through the afternoon.
