Mini Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Muffins

This is the FAVORITE snack lately at our sewing classes. (We do not recommend that the entire muffin is eaten in one big gobble...now who would do that?!) The kids have asked for the recipe and it's so easy they can make it themselves!

1 box chocolate cake mix (triple chocolate is best, but any chocolate flavor will work)
1 small can pumpkin
1 pkg. chocolate chips
1/4 c. water

Mix all ingredients together and scoop into pam-sprayed mini muffin tins. Bake at 350 for 12 to 14 minutes.

I like to double this recipe by using the big can of pumpkin with 2 boxes of cake mix. They freeze very well.

A Hug Quilt for Hilde


Kerin makes what she calls "Hug Quilts" for people who need a little TLC. Here is her quilt for a very good friend, Hilde. I stitched the blocks (above) with the terry twist technique.

Hilde loves birds and bird houses so this fabric was perfect. The back (below) showcased the fabric too.

Loops & Flowers for Baby


For this cheery baby quilt I stitched freehand loops...

and funky little flowers.
