Shortcuts...

Most of y'all know I love to cook...one of the things I enjoy about cooking is the prep work,

slicing and dicing to put everything together is the part of the process that I love.  I made a big pot of soup last night and it included roasted poblano peppers. So I fire roasted the peppers over

an open flame then peeled and diced the peppers up, it's messy work and just

about the time I was done I remembered that Wegmans carried fire roasted

poblano peppers in their freezer section..and this point I would have slapped

my forehead and gone duh..but with messy hands from peeling the peppers I'm glad I didn't.

While the soup was simmering I was cutting up fabric for a shop sample and my

mind went all squirrel, which it often does, and I was thinking about precut kits

and it dawned on me...I really do like to cut out quilts.  I'd almost have to say that cutting is my favorite

part of quilting...now don't get me wrong, if I can pick up a jelly roll or charm pack I'm all 

over that but for most projects neither of those will work...so it's just me, my rotary cutter and 

any one of my favorite Creative Grids or Deb Tucker rulers.

So tell me...do you like precuts which equals shortcuts or do you like

the process of slicing and dicing your fabric...

Until Next Time

Be Kind...
