This is always fun!
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 230,000 times in 2015. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 10 days for that many people to see it.
It’s good to be back and I have a lot to share!
Stop back by on FRIDAY for the January pattern! Just a reminder, each month’s pattern will be free on the first day of the month and will be available from my Craftsy shop after that.
Stop by Fandom in Stitches TOMORROW to see the #xfilesquilt and to get your fabric amounts and other information for the event.

Hello, my friends!
As you may have guessed, I have decided to forgo Talk To Me Tuesday today.
Even so, I wanted to stop by and wish you all a very happy holiday season!
Whatever holiday you and your family are celebrating during this lovely time of year, I hope it is full of family, friends, fun and laughter.
In case you missed it, I shared my family’s favorite Chocolate Covered Butter Toffee recipe last week. It’s one of the easiest and yummiest candies to make!

Yesterday, I posted a video to my Instagram sharing part of the toffee process.
How about an easy to read recipe, too? I found this in an old church cook book and have used it for years. I’ve since since similar recipes all over. It’s super easy to make an absolutely delicious.
Butter Toffee!
Line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped pecan over pan.
Mix remaining pecans with chocolate chips. Set aside.
Cook butter & sugar over medium high heat until 300°F, stirring constantly.
Pour hot candy over pecans.
Sprinkle chocolate chips & pecans on top of hot toffee. Let sit a few minutes and then spread melted chips with a spatula. Allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate approximately an hour to firm up chocolate. Break into bite sized pieces and store at room temperature.
Devour!

The very lovely and talented Jennifer Rowles put together the amazing Smartphone Quilt Along, now in it’s entirety over on Fandom in Stitches.
As with many of our events on Fandom in Stitches, we ended this one by throwing out an invite to our community to share supplemental designs for the project.
I thought it would be fun to design two of my favorite crafty apps to share with our community.
Both of these patterns are free and can also be found on Fandom in Stitches today as part of the #SMQAL Design Invitational!
Robert Kaufman Quilt Calculator is my go-to app for calculating binding. It has oodles of other features, but that is definitely my favorite!
This free pattern is 10″ Paper Pieced.
Tested version by Vanda Chittenden. Thanks, Vanda!
The Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Store App has been a lifesaver! I used to always forget my coupons, but now they are always available at the touch of a finger. Woo, technology!
This free pattern is also 10″ Paper Pieced.
Tested by Vanda!
