Project Name: Sawtooth Star Block (January BOM)
Project Link: Quilt-along 2021
Brief Description: I am participating in the Quilt-along 2021, and I needed to get my January block finished. Of course, I didn’t have time to make it until today, so I had to get it made pretty quickly. I followed the linked tutorial, and it turned out to be a pretty quick block to make (even if I did have to rip out and redo the last 4 seams).

@gozer Grape sherbet sounds interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. I’d love to try it! Your Venkman feltie is wonderful. I love the details you were able to get.
@ezrib Welcome back! Your snowflakes are so uniform and gorgeous! Did you start the crocheted flakes? Your paper flakes are so pretty and festive. I love seeing them hanging in the window.
@megwell Your woven potholder is so colorful and pretty. I have a Martha Stewart loom I haven’t used in ages. I want to pull it out now and make something on it.
@Lynx Your cards are always so pretty, and the bra cards are hilarious. Your bird garland is amazing! I love all of the work you put into each of the birds. Your watercolor is amazing!
@roler All of the ATCs you’ve been making lately are so bright and fun. I love your art style.
@Tanath Welcome back! Your pendant is gorgeous, and I for one would be happy with a blizzard of one snowflake.
@craftADDchick I look forward to seeing what you use your spin art for in the future! They are pretty as-is. I like the colors you chose for your quilt square.
@Smeddley Your gnome is so cute! I love the greens in the hat.

thank you, I don’t have a pattern to share. I saw a picture of something similar and “winged it” while trying to copy. None are exactly the same. I really should have written it down though.

Prompt: Zap 1 Team: Bits & Bobs Project Name: Leftovers Burritodilla Project Link: N/A Brief Description:Me: I always put way too much in wraps. What if this time I made it a quesadilla so it won’t be as stuffed? Project Photo(s):Also me:
Cilantro Pesto
-2 large bunches of cilantro
-2 inch piece of parmesan
-olive oil (anywhere from 1/4-1/2 cup)
-juice of 1/2 a lemon
-shake or 2 of red pepper flakes
handful of nuts/seeds (this time I used pistachios but you could use walnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, etc)
-dash of safe dijon (we like maille)
-salt & pepper to taste
whir that all in a blender or food processor until quite smooth adding more oil if needed
My hubby has an allium allergy (onions, garlic, leeks, etc.) so instead of the dijon you could absolutely use garlic.
I’m definitely going to try this. I love cilantro, and appreciate that you listed some nut alternatives (tree nut allergy, here!). Thanks for sharing your recipe!
This isn’t overstuffed! Looks perfect. And now I know what I want for dinner tomorrow. Mmmm
