Thread Finally Arrived and Lemon Meringue Pie

    I was happy happy to finally to see the thread in my mailbox for the flannel quilt

I thought I came pretty close with the color having to choose colors online. I wanted the color to blend in a bit for the backing, and not be to dark to use on the blocks with white backgrounds.



I also got the needles in last Saturday. I have allot of needles in my stash, many I picked up at garage sales or resale shops but I didn't have quite the right ones for this project or for wool applique. These are Sue Spargo's smaller collection of needles  and hoping one of the chenilles will work for this quilt.


  I have not made us a from scratch lemon meringue pie since we moved to the lake house. I really like baking this in my dutch ovens outdoors over a fire but haven't got set up for that yet here.   For some reason the meringue did not want to get super stiff like it should but I think it will still be good. I baked a ground almond crust.

    Pretty thread! Does it say what fibers were used? Wondering if it’s cotton, but it looks silky.

    I like that thread color Kathy. It looks like it will match really well and fit the fabric of your quilt. And your pie looks very yummy. I haven't had a lemon meringue pie for ages.

      Thanks Erika, I was a little worried about it from not seeing it in person, but I think it will work well. I just bought another assortment of needles don't have quite what I need yet

      thank you so much, I was really concerned I chose the right one-I think it will match nicely. we'll have pie for breakfast tomorrow morning-as I made the pie late in the day today and it needs to chill
