Yesterday, I put out a call to my friends in the Needlework and Quilt Industries. I needed recipes for this site and my new cake site. (I’ll give a link to the cake site once I have some recipes! LOL)
An awful lot of my industry friends are *Foodies* as well as being talented needleworkers and quilters, and the recipes are starting to arrive in my eMailBox, so I’ll be adding recipes often over the next week or so!
My friend, Colleen Leader, is VERY busy getting ready for her first time at the Nashville Cash and Carry Show as a Designer. I was pretty thrilled that she was willing to take the time to help me with this project… BEFORE Nashville! (I had plans to nag her about this, once she was home from TN! LOL)
