I met the very lovely Vicky (vickybaggins on ttmt.livejournal.com) and her husband today. They quite generously took time out of their busy lives to show us around Oxford. It was a completely amazing day and this is just a tiny slice of it.
We only have one more day left before we head home. Time really hasflown!
Free Pattern Day is the first of every month during 2016!

Last week, I was rummaging through my favorite recipes and came across my Grannie’s Tea Cake recipe. The original recipe makes dozens of delicious flour dusted tea cakes.
Now that my kids are in college, I have working to downsize some of our favorite recipes. With a few tweaks, I simplified Grannie’s Tea Cakes to make sweet and lightly flavored Coconut Tea Cakes.
Enjoy!
Coconut Tea Cakes
Wet Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cream together wet ingredients by hand or with a mixer. Add dry ingredients and mix well.
Scoop onto cookie sheet with a cookie scoop. Dip the bottom of a flat glass or bowl in flour and use to flatten the dough. Bake 12 – 15 minutes. Cool about 2 minutes on cookie sheet before removing to a cooling rack. Cookies will remain light colored but will be golden on the bottom.
Makes 18. (This is 1/4 of the original recipe. It scales nicely!)

Welcome back to Sewhooked for the September installment of My Favorite Things, my 2016 Block of the Month!
My Favorite Things includes 12 original patterns to paper piece in both 6″ and 12″, as well as a FOUR BONUS BLOCKS to mix and match your own favorites!
These patterns are MY Favorite Things, but I very much hope that you will find some of your favorite things in the mix.
***IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT HOW THIS BOM WORKS***
The first day of each month in 2016 is FREE PATTERN DAY. At that time, you can download* the monthly BOM pattern for free from 8am CST on the 1st to 8am CST on the 2nd (i.e. 1/1/16 – 1/2/16). After that time, each month’s pattern will be available for $2 from my Craftsy Pattern Shop. Bonus blocks will be included at no additional cost every three months.
*Please note that you will need to save or print on Free Pattern Day . The free pattern link will expire @8am CST on the 2nd of the month.
I suppose after the June patterns of crochet hook & knitting needles it comes as no surprise that yarn is one of My Favorite Things! A crocheter long before I learned to quilt, yarn puts the “hooked” in Sewhooked!
I love it all…soft, fuzzy, specialty, handspun. Yummy, yummy yarn!
Signature Quilt Invite:
If you’ve played along with me before, then you know that I ADORE signature quilts and always invite event participants to share a signature block to be included in a special keepsake that I keep.
You are very sweetly invited to make a Signature Block for the My Favorite Things Signature Quilt!
Choose YOUR favorite 6″ block from My Favorite Things & make it with the fabrics of your choice. Add your name and location. Names can be hand or machine embroidered, added with fabric paint or pen. Please, no iron-on transfers.
This is not required, but it is much appreciated!
6” blocks are due January 31, 2017. This will give you plenty of time to pick your favorite block! Don’t worry, I’ll share lots of reminders along the way.
