Carmen is modeling my newest project. I finished this just in time to enjoy it for the 4th of July. Made up of 3" squares (yes, alot of work) and then stipled in a meandering pattern.
Now please help name this quilt!

BBQ pulled pork samiches
Instead of smoked ribs on the bbq I decided to use the secret rub that Jenny mailed me (thanks woman) on baked ribs. They turned out sooooo good and were super easy and very inexpensive to make.
I purchased a pkg of boneless pork ribs from Walmart - they were even in the sale bin! I popped them in a large ziplock bag along with the dry rub and shook them up (just like shake and bake). Then I put them in my cast iron pot (its new and I love it) and baked them in the oven for about 6 to 7 hrs at 200'. Don't add anything else to the pot - water, broth, etc. The ribs will be plenty juicy from the fat.
Poke them with a fork to make sure they are nice and done. Remove them from the pot and natural juices and shred the meat with 2 forks. This is when you can add your own bbq sauce if you like.
Down here in the south we like to eat our pulled pork samiches with cole slaw on top, not on the side. YUMM - O!

Girl in a box
Carmen loves boxes. More than she loves the toys that come in the boxes. Today I am trying to get a little spring cleaning done in my sewing room. Carmen thought she would help out.

Season In The Pines Quilt
I purchased this quilt kit that my Mom picked out on her birthday 6 years ago and promised to assemble the quilt top. The gorgeous fabrics are from the "Burst Of Autumn" collection by Holly Taylor for MODA. The quilt pattern is titled "Season In The Pines". No, the quilt didn't take me 6 years to make, but I have been working on it a little here and a little there. I really wanted to finish the quilt this year for her birthday (which was in May) and once again, I missed the deadline. Luckily for me (and her) the quilt is finished! She will receive a late birthday gift next week when she arrives. She has NO idea that its done. For all she knows its still boxed up somewhere in piles and piles of quilt fabrics and unfinished project totes. I had it quilted with a pinecone pantograph (see pics up close). It turned out fabulous! Woohooo!
