Suzn Quilts… is a quilt pattern company that describes my main goal in life, besides taking care of my family, quilting! I design patterns for quilts that I decorate my home with. I love to decorate my home for the seasons and holidays, so many of my designs are seasonal and incorporate a lot of fusible applique. Some of my best selling patterns incorporate a quilt-as-you-go technique that I designed for making lap quilts. I am currently working on new patterns that combine the popular charm packs and jelly rolls with my quilt-as-you-go lap quilts and jackets that start with sweatshirts. Since I have three school aged kids and I cook and quilt, my patterns are fast and easy. They make great 4-6 hour projects.

|
This recipe has been a part of our family celebration since the mid 1960’s. It was given to us by the mother of a good friend in my Girl Scout troop. We serve it to guests along with the traditional Christmas cookies and we use it for a great breakfast treat. About ten years ago I started bringing this cranberry bread to the annual November bake sale sponsored our fire department auxiliary. It always sells fast because it is the bread with “whole cranberries” so you can actually taste the berries. |
| Ingredients |
| 2 eggs 2 cups sugar 4 Tablespoons shortening 1 cup orange juice 4 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 4 Tablespoons hot water 1-12 ounce package of whole cranberries, washed 1 cup walnuts (optional) |
| Step by Step |
|
Preheat oven to 325. |

| I would rather be quilting or designing a quilt than almost anything else in the world, so when I decide to bake something it has to taste wonderful and be very quick and easy. This recipe fits the bill. When my kids help me make this recipe, I put the cinnamon and sugar in a plastic bag and let them shake the biscuit pieces until they are coated. While this “cake” is baking, the whole house fills with the smell of cinnamon. If I make this cake for my quilt guild or some other gathering, my family expects me to make another one just for them! |
| Ingredients |
| ½ cup chopped nuts 3 cans flaky biscuits (Grands) ¾ cup sugar 3 T cinnamon Glaze: 1 ½ stick butter 1 cup sugar 2 T cinnamon |
| Step by Step |
| Preheat oven to 350 Spray Bundt pan with Pam Spread nuts in pan, set aside Quarter biscuits Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a large bowl Place biscuit pieces in bowl and roll until coated Place coated biscuits in pan Glaze: Melt butter Add sugar and cinnamon Stir until smooth Pour over biscuits Bake 35 to 40 minutes |

In my opinion, there are few basic cakes better than Pound Cake. This version adds Poppy Seeds, another of my favorites. But, I don’t think I own a Bundt Pan! Hmmm….. Maybe I need to add that to the shopping list!

| I have a tremendous fondness for nativities and collect them. We have a big traditional Italian nativity, but perhaps I’m fondest of my unusual folks art nativities. Putting out each one brings special thoughts to mind. There is a pressed tin one from Mexico which comes in a tin box about the size of a mint tin. One from New Mexico which has the stable as a traditional dwelling (your enter by a ladder through a hole in the roof). Another one, from Central America, has the silliest animals. There is a tiny one in an eggshell which goes on the tree, and a lovely Holy Family from Israel make from olive wood. We put them all over the house and they help us remember the reason for this glorious season.This is my husband’s favorite cake. He loves it so much it was our wedding cake.Janet Perry |

| TheArmchairChef.com Needlework and Quilting Holiday Bake Along 2007 Oatmeal Pie |
|
As I have always found traveling to be fun, eating at local haunts can heighten the experience. While traveling through South Carolina, my family and I stopped in a nice little restaurant in the very historic town of Cheraw, SC. We had a wonderful meal which we greatly enjoyed. The one outstanding part of the meal was the desert-Oatmeal Pie. The texture and taste were terrific. I enjoyed the taste so much, that I searched for the recipe until a friend told me that Oatmeal Pie was based on a real good Pecan Pie recipe. The real secret of this recipe is that if you want a nut pie; just replace the oatmeal with pecans or walnuts. For an added treat, put semi-sweet chocolate chips into the mix. This pie is great cold, at room temperature or even heated on the griddle. Educate your taste buds, Hope you enjoy. Doug Kreinik |
| Ingredients |
| 3 eggs slightly beaten 1 Cup blue label Karo Syrup 1/8 Tsp salt 1 Cup white sugar or brown sugar 2/3 Cup Oatmeal 1 Tsp Vanilla (I like Mexican Vanilla because it has less of an alcohol after taste) 1 uncooked pie crust |
| Step by Step |
| Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 1) Slightly beat 3 eggs 2) Mix in remaining ingredients 4) Pour into an uncooked pie crust 5) Bake at 450F for 10 minutes NOTE: If baked in a glass dish, the temperature should be 25F degrees less. 6) Then 350F for 30 minutes 7) Serve and Enjoy! |
