Playtime in the studio

What a wonderful day!  My cousin Stephanie came over for a visit.  It was the many of first for her.  The first time at my home and the first time playing with a longarm quilter.  I forgot to take a picture so I had to dig through my pictures and find this one.  Stephanie is the blonde with all the shimmer on her shirt, ain't she  a doll.  Okay I'm a little bias, when we were younger I was her babysitter!

Here's her handy work, not to bad for the first time!

 And then we had cake!  Its called Crazy cake!  Super moist cake recipe from the 1930's
