on hand dyed linen.
A total of 26 designs...
on one cut of cloth.
I've completed 15 of them so far...
over halfway done.
I'm looking forward to learning how to piece
all of these designs together to form a ball.

they were huge and beauteous !)

FRESH CORN CHOWDER
Ingredients:
6 ears corn, husked with silk removed
2 large potatoes, washed and chopped
2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1/2 bell pepper, cored and chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced (or can use garlic powder)
1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2/3 cup milk
4 cups water, divided
- Cook corn in a large pot of boiling water for 5-8 minutes. Remove from water and allow to cool enough to handle. With a knife, remove corn kernels from all ears of cooked corn. Set aside.
- Discard the water you used for boiling the corn - use this large pot to saute your vegetables in. Add all vegetables, except corn and potatoes, in large pot and add seasonings. Saute, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add to pot - 3 cups water and potatoes. Cook until potato has softened, about 10-20 minutes.
- Add milk, remaining water (1 cup) and corn kernels.
Enjoy !
Have yourself a splendid, sunny day...
