- Baking: Free range eggs from my father in law, fresh beetroot from my garden, not so with the carrots unfortunately, however they were all turned into this delicious cake, Beetroot and Carrot Cake with Caramel Cream Cheese Icing.
- Binding - multi coloured shot stripes from Kaffe Fasset, so pleased with my seam/stripe aligning, now just the hand sewing down of it to do on my Scrappy Sampler quilt.
- Reading: My Name is Resolute by Nancy Turner. A novel, which I really enjoyed, set in America during the mid to late 1700's.
Have a fabulous week.
Oh goodness, lots of progress on your scrappy sampler quilt Julie!
ReplyDeleteNow that cake looks so delicious, I have never tried cake with beetroot in it before.
ReplyDeleteIt is not too different from using carrot or zucchini in cakes, gives it a slightly earthier taste. I often make a chocolate beetroot cake too, here's a link:

A very "moreish" looking cake there Julie. Love your KF fabric, think I have some of that in my stripes basket - must go and look it out.
ReplyDeleteI love binding that is striped. And it's always so exciting to get to the almost finished stage!
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks gorgeous, the quilt looks gorgeous, a totally gorgeous post!
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks yum (and sounds interesting ;-) and your binding fabric is perfect. Are you enjoying that book? These is my Words by the same author is one of my favorite books. I need to re-read it; its been a couple of years....
ReplyDeleteYou sure get through the books Julie! I'm lucky to read ten pages a night before sleep calls! Looking forward to seeing the Scrappy Sampler finished- great binding!
ReplyDeleteYummy, that cake looks so good!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Week,
Carla
