When you want something all the Universe conspires to help You achieve it. True or False?

So the dames had a sleep over up at Randi’s lake cabin on Little Green Lake  yesterday. I made a really good shrimp dinner, using Zac’s girlfriend Amelia’s recipe, we are now calling it Amelia’s Shrimp recipe. It is a Key Lime zesty shrimp dish, omg is it good.

Key Lime Shrimp
4 key limes or 2 limes
4 Tbs butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves chopped garlic
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
20 large shrimp
hot pepper sauce
Grate a tsp of zest and squeeze 2 tsp juice from the limes.
Heat oil and butter in skillet
Add garlic, lime zest and juice, worcestershire and cook until bubbling.  Add shrimp, cook 2 minutes.
Turn shrimp over, add hot sauce (amount to your liking...Zac likes a huge amount!) and cook until done.
Serve with rice or bread or whatever strikes your fancy.

We have been having a discussion “ when you truly desire something all the Universe conspires to help you achieve it. True or False?

It has been so great, and we have answered all the questions and solved all the problems. Dames can do that ya know!

This was taken at Betty’s Cabana at the other May Birthday Girls party.

It needs a better title. All comments welcome. Help me name my kitty looking out a window on a winter day.
Thanks

Quilts and More

I received this email yesterday about my article in the summer issue of Quilts and More.

Dear Frieda,

I have long admired your work in Quilting Arts magazine but  your article in Quilts and More really inspired me.  As program chairman for my guild, I was working on an embellishment program using silk flowers.  I quickly adapted your fusables to silk leaves and made mums for the flowers.  I used silk caladium leaves for a miniature of larger leaves on the inside cover.  The program was a big hit. 

Do you ever teach in the Western Pa. area?  I would love to take one of your classes.

Teaching in Houston

I will be teaching in Houston this year. You can find in the catalog one of my classes on page 49 –#474 Blooming Fun. This class is fun and fast fusing and we will be using fun Decorative rotary blades to achieve texture. This quilt is inspired by my garden.

And the other class is #534 on page 53, Frieda’s Fun Fast Free Motion Machine Quilting. This class is designed for the home sewing machine. You will learn how to use your sewing machine as a drawing tool, learn how to handle the quilt sandwich, what needles and thread to use, and how to make complex patterns from simple designs.

Hope I see you there, we’ll have fun. Laura and I will once again have our booth selling hand ART FABRIK/FRIESTYLE.
