Playful Penguins visit the Virtual Cookie Exchange Blog Hop

We have made it to December in this crazy year.

I think that calls for a celebration for sure, and I can't think of a better way than making cookies...

Lots and lots of cookies. Calories be darned. We all deserve a break after all the drama, this year held.

I've got a recipe that will make many many cookies and all kinds too...but

before I share it with you, I want to show you my Christmas quilt for 2020.

Penguin Parade.

These bright and cheery little guys are easy to do with the "Crafters Edge" Playful Penguin die,

HERE

The face and tummy is one piece, but I wanted my penguins to celebrate the season with my holiday prints. So with a little magic, and creative cutting, we have Christmas penguins.

Simply layer a face and a tummy piece and run through your cutter.

The scarf hides it all. How fun is that!

Are you terrified of mitered corners? Well check out this Missouri Star tutorial

http://land.missouriquiltco.com/attic-window-panel/

I promise, you will never be scared again.

This "waddle" of penguins even got out to play, in our 8" of snow.

Ahhhhh...penguin paradise!

Now for my cookies...

I love this "Can Do" recipe, because the basic dough, gives you 7 different cookies.

Peanut butter is my favorite, but hubby loves the cinnamon balls and pecan refrigerator cookies.

This is what all the different varieties look like. Yes, that's 4 batches of dough.

Let just say, my Christmas baking is done for this year!

LOL!!

You can choose to right click on each page and save, or download the recipe,

minus the fancy holiday designs

LOL!!

A big round of applause to our fearless cookie monster...Carol.

It just wouldn't be Christmas if she wasn't tempting us with those delightful cookies!

Thank you Miss Carol... from the bottom of my hips and thighs!

Make sure you visit my blogging buddies. They all have delicious morsels to share, as well.

It's Thanksgiving weekend...

There are shards on my cutting mat...

That must mean it's Quiltville's Mystery BOM time again!

Yes, while some people pair socks, others pair their wine, heck you even have to pair your bluetooth devices...

But me, I spent my time this weekend pairing my "Sensuous Grays and Honeycomb fabrics.

It's Bonnie Hunter's "Grassy Creek" Mystery time.

These are the colors she is using this year.

I personally like to stick to her plan. It's much less stress on my brain, and she has really forced me out of my box and into working with colors I would never have dreamed of!

Check it out, over on her Quiltville blog HERE.

Everything you need to know is under the Grassy Creek tab at the top.

What's under the needle in your sewing world this weekend?

Don't forget "Just Let Me Quilt's" Virtual Cookie Exchange starts

Tuesday!
