When I saw this post yesterday, http://loftcreations.blogspot.com/, I fell in love with it! This is the first time in 11 years of quilting that I said to myself, "Wow, I think I might make a Dresden Plate Quilt!". Keep in mind that I said "might"! I really love the combination of very modern fabrics (Soul Blossoms by Amy Butler) with the very traditional pattern.
I also found this delicious sounding recipe this morning on Tasty Kitchen and I thought I would share, http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen-blog/. It uses the Starbuck's instant coffee called Via. I am not particularly fond of drinking the coffee because I think it is really strong, but these sound scrumptious!
