Hello Everyone,
We are headed to Raleigh this Friday and Saturday. We hope you will join us there. We all love quilts and quilt stuff, but an added bonus is that there is usually a flea market at the Fairgrounds as well.
Recipes
Everyone enjoyed the recipes at Christmas.
Most of these recipes are from my Grandma’s church cookbook from the 1960s.
I wanted to share something green with you since it it almost St. Patrick’s Day. This is a continuation of the “chow chow” theme. It’s pretty obvious as you read through these recipes that these women had big gardens and needed to use up all the vegetables at the end of the season.
Green Tomato Relish
24 green tomatoes
4 green peppers
2 red peppers
8 large onions
4 c. sugar
4 c. vinegar
4 Tbsp. salt
6 Tbsp. celery seed
Remove seeds from peppers. Grind peppers, onions and tomatoes. Allow to drain in a colander overnight. Combine all other ingredients and vegetables: Cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Put in hot sterilized jars and seal Makes about 7 pints.
March Events
Classes
Our class dates for March are Friday, March 24 or Saturday, March 25, 2023. We are doing something a little different. Stash Busters is going to be a series of quilts that are fairly simple to make. They are designed to use up all the random fabrics that are in your stash. Experienced quilters will be able to knock out a quilt top in no time. Beginners will feel comfortable taking the class. While others are sewing, we will spend time with you on basic skills like cutting, rulers, and sewing basics. Maybe you have a friend that wants to quilt but other classes have been too advanced. Stash Busters will be something you can do together. Maybe you even have enough fabric in your stash that your friend could help you reduce your stash by making a small quilt. This was easy to make, and I think it turned out to be a nice “quilty” looking quilt. I used all my leftover French General reds for the squares and a light robin’s egg blue for the stripping.

REMEMBER TO BRING SOMETHING FOR “SHOW AND TELL”.
Class starts at 10 am and finishes about 4 pm but we’ll have the building open at 9:00 am so plan to arrive in time to have a cup of coffee and set up, so we’ll be ready to start at 10:00 am. The class will be held at Cool Spring Church, 1902 Mocksville Rd, Cleveland, NC—that is Hwy. 64 about 8 miles East of Statesville, and is easily accessible from either I-77 or I-40.
As you know, eating lunch is an important part of the day. Bring a sandwich, or your favorite recipe, and we’ll provide sides, chips, desert and tea. Quilters are good cooks too so there is always plenty to share.
To register for the class, call or text Cindy Page, 704-376-2531 to reserve your space, then mail checks payable to The Quilter’s Gallery to 224 Woodleaf Road, Cleveland, NC 27013. Payment is required at the time of registration to hold your space in the class. A supply list with directions to the venue will be emailed to you upon registration.
REMEMBER TO BRING SOMETHING TO CLASS FOR “SHOW AND TELL”.
We will not have any classes in April or May due to scheduling issues with Easter and Church Yardsale.
