Just a little something I put together. . .
. . .for my daughter-in-law Kim, who, when I posted them on Instagram said she liked them and “hint, hint.” I was happy she wanted some! They were for her birthday.
I used Malka Dubrowsky’s fabric again, as it hides cake-mix-on-thumbs really well.
I liked how the quilting looked from the back, on the heat-repellant fabric. Click *here* for a pattern and how-to’s.
My husband and I drove in and attended my nephew’s graduation from University of Southern California, known for its well-endowed education in an academic sense. In other words, lotsa money at this place. Congratulations on finishing law school!
They had a little reception afterwards and it was like a garden wedding–and delicious.
But we took off and met the rest of the family at Bottega Louie, where this cool-looking St. Honore caught my eye in the dessert case. Instead of trying to figure out how to get it home in one piece, I bought macarons in five different colors, and shared them all weekend with my husband.
But I have bigger news about this family gathering in the next post. (No, I am not pregnant.) Stay tuned.
OccasionalPiece--Quilt! 
I love those great mitts!! Congratulations to your nephew too. Wow….look at all that yummy food – especially the sweets.
Lots of happiness here!
Sounds like you had a nice time with family. I really ought to do your tutorial for the mitts or at least pot holders. It’s very very embarrassing to use my current pot holders. Have a nice long weekend.
I’m tempted by those mitts. I have that fabric : ) everything on the tables looks like it was delicious!
I really like those mitts!! That food looks fantastic. Glad that you had a good time.
Great use of Malka’s fabric! Love ’em!
Love the mitts! Fabulous use of colors. Thanks for linking to the tutorial 🙂 I’ve been wanting to make some for my mother!
Those oven mitts are wonderful! I need to add those to my to-do list.
Congrats to your nephew! My husband went to law school at UCLA 🙂
Love the hot pads! My little boys call the heat resistant batting “fire proof”. I have to remind them that the table runner is not fire proof and don’t lite any matches near it 😉
I WANT that dessert table. HOLY COW!!!! What on earth is that blue thing? Puff pastry heaven!?
