Yummy snacks for the upcoming bad weather . ..

I guess winter is not yet over as the forecast is  giving more snow for the end of winter , Tuesday and the beginning of spring Wednesday.

Stormy days are perfect for sewing and ..oh! yes snacking too...

these muffins are delicious..

Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins

2 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

 1/2 teaspoon salt         

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs, room temperature and lightly beaten

1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Cream Cheese Mixture

4 oz cream cheese, room temperature

1/3 cup granulated suga

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tin or line with muffin liners. n a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
In a big bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, vanilla extract and egg until incorporated. Use a spatula, mix the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Fold together until combined. Do not over mix. Spoon the batter into the prepared tins, filling them no more than 1/2 full. Then scatter a few pieces of strawberry on top of each one.
Then top with a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture, a tablespoon of muffin batter, and finally a few more pieces of strawberry. Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes, until they're light golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then invert on a plate and serve.
 

I have been making small projects in between sewing on my large quilt.

I made bible covers for some of my friends

Another on in progress

On April 13th the Guild will celebrate its second anniversary and we have an Open House so I have been making little projects for the sale table.  

Kleenex  pouches...

I just finished the top of a table topper ...

ready to be quilted...

So if we get the two storms predicted I should be able to sew a few more projects for the guild...

This Friday evening the 22nd " La Société Acadienne" is sponsoring a "Nocturne" evening. ( Evening Art). People in the community will be visiting the various art associations/groups and the Guild has been invited to take part. We will have three quilts in the frames so people can try hand quilting. Several members will be making specific projects to demonstrated the different techniques used in quilting. We are all looking forward to a fun evening meeting the visitors.

The guild now has  90 members and as much as I hate to we have decided we need to put a cap on the numbers of members  so 10 more members will be accepted to make 100. The Guild calender for the next three months is filling up quickly with exciting events.

I will keep you posted....  

Happy sewing ....
