Sewing Box Scraps

I inherited a cute little cabinet from my Mom, and I wanted to make a seasonal table topper for it.

A Prairie Journey by Kathleen Tracy features sweet mini quilts. Kathleen uses reproduction fabrics to make her minis.

Since I wanted a seasonal table topper, I chose to make my version in orange, black and white.

I have lots of scraps cut into 1-1/2″ strips and this mini is a fun way to use them!

My mini version measures about 15-1/2″ x 17-1/2″.

Here are the highlights from the Hubster’s and my tour up in the viewing gallery:

There are sharp rotating blades in the very large vats.

Salt is the only additive, and it is added in the last step before compressing the curds into 40 pound blocks.

As the cutting machine cuts big blocks into pieces, the workers keep pace while breaking apart pieces, inspecting them, and putting them on the belt.

Tillamook Creamery cuts about a million pounds of cheese a week!

That’s about 115 two pound baby loafs a minute!

Log Flume Heritage Site

A frequent place that the Hubster and I like to get back to nature in is the Log Flume Heritage Site. It is so peaceful!

You can tell we love it here just by going to the bottom of this post and seeing the previous posts about this park. I was reviewing those, and noticed the seasonal changes as we visited at different times of the year. It seems that I need a winter post to add to the fun!
