crocus999 OFFLINE Posts: 1909 Thank you received: 149	Boy, I really wanted that recipe! Thanks!. It's delish! Since Lotti brought me hers (with apricots and cranberries), I have been really wanting to make some too. Thanks, Margo for the info. Nice to 'hear' your voice. I do click 'new posts, but don't uderstand why for a long time I get the notices for the posts, and then for some reason stop getting them.

Renata, traditionally we don't use dates in a tea-brack - but you can put whatever fruit you like into it.

Here's the recipe:

RITA'S IRISH TEA BRACK

16oz dried fruit (we just use raisins and sultanas)
16 fl oz strong black tea
4 oz soft brown sugar
4 oz granulated white sugar
1 egg
14 oz plain white flour (without raising agent)
1 heaped teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon baking powder

Put the raisins and sultanas into a bowl, cover with the tea and leave overnight to allow the fruit to plump up. The next day preheat the oven to 160C/320F. Line two 2lb loaf tins with baking parchment. Add the sugar and egg to the fruit and tea and combine well. Sieve the flour, mixed spice and baking powder and add it to the fruit mix stirring thoroughly. The mixture should be softish. You can add a little more flour if it seems too runny or a little more tea, or milk, if it seems to dry. Divide the mixture between the two loaf tins. Bake at 160C/320F for 30 minutes and then turn down the oven to 150C/300F for a further 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack - if you can wait that long - and serve with butter and a cup of tea. Enjoy.

I have to tell you I went through memory lane last night looking for Rita's Irish Brack bread recipe. I have a sandhills friend coming to see my quilting studio and I wanted her to have some yummy Irish bread this morn but man was the recipe was W A YYYYY B A C K in our forum...Something like page 62 or something like that... I thought it deserved moving it forward today LOL! I can't believe we are at 100 pages already!... I'll be thinking of you today Rita!

Happy quilting all! HUGS from SD, USA

Hi there! This is another one of those times when I haven't received notices from the exchange topic for days now.

Terrie, if you will click on "View New Posts" at the top of the forum page each time you check the forum, it will give you a list of everything posted that you haven't read yet!
You will probably be able to tell by the topic title if a new exchange has started.

Hope that helps!

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	One of the women in my quilting group likes to arrange the pins like flowers - in fact she is happier doing that than quilting! Terri enjoy having your grandson with you and I hope his daddy quickly recovers after his operation. If there is another exchange I will make a point of letting you know - that is if I know myself. I would love to do another one too.

"Man, it's hard to sew and babysit at the same time, but I've taught the little guy to pick out pins from the pin cushion and give them to me one by one, and then when I've done, I give them back to him one by one, and he puts them back." Crocus999

I can relate to this. When my little grandson would be with me when I was sewing, he liked to arrange the pins in my pincushion by color. Each time he came back he had to fix them and would admonish me for not putting them back in the right color group.

Hi there! This is another one of those times when I haven't received notices from the exchange topic for days now. Plus, I was away for Easter weekend. I love the Tree of Life quilt - awesome - I am planning to make one with all batiks from the HST exchange with my guild. I think I will be finished hand-quilting my HST quilt in the nick of time for the book.

I saw something about a batik exchange and Margo ( Hi! Margo!) suggested opening another topic. If I don't sign up, like, if I miss it somehow, please someone watch my back,. and email me, because I will want to do this. Especially if there is a limited number.... Like some of you, I may have an addiction problem, but I prefer to call it a passion. That's NO problem, right?

Still haven't exchanged pics with Lotti from our fantabulous fun, awesome visit, but we may get our act together sometime soon.
She's busy visiting, and right now I'm busy BBsitting my almost 4 yo grandson, because his daddy is have serious surgery tomorrow ( Thursday).

Man, it's hard to sew and babysit at the same time, but I've taught the little guy to pick out pins from the pin cushion and give them to me one by one, and then when I've done, I give them back to him one by one, and he puts them back. He loves to watch the needle going "real, real fast!" Also have given him some coloured fabric blocks to put together so 'we' can together sew a pillow for when daddy gets home from hospital. He can 'sign' it with fabric painted handprints!It's fun!

PosyP OFFLINE Posts: 4106 Thank you received: 361	And if you hang on a little while, I am planning on writing up my 'Crib sheet ideas' or running exchanges, to help keep things managable. A lot of it is lots of pre-thinking things through, and planning.

It's fun to see the reels arriving! While I'm waiting, I'm working on, "Tree of Life" applique portion. I need to stitch the stems, leaves and berries. Then I'll add the bird center design at top and bottom. This has been a fun quilt to make from Edyta's book. Lots to do while I'm visiting my 85 yr old mother later this week. She's making a cathedral quilt by hand and she's going to teach me while I'm visiting her. Off to make my 11 hour drive.

The white border fabric won't stay after quilting. It's there to help with bias edges for me to work on while appliqueing and then send to longarmer.

Quilty,
Beeeeee uuuuuuuu tttttttttttiful! Find out what size block your mom started with for her cathedral window quilt and take a photo to share with us. My one and only attempt was a small one for the table... in Blue with white back ground squares. I loved the process but what I thought would be big was really quite small when I got done with it . Question on your tree of life, Were your HST swapped or all your stash? I am wanting to do a batik swap if anyone knows anyone who wants to do one... Have fun with your mom , Always in stitches...Bren
