Kevin and I have a tradition of eating fondue on Valentine's Day. It began several years ago when we were dating...We had Brian and Amy over (Sam was only 3 months old), and we all ate a three course fondue meal (bread and cheese, meat in oil, and chocolate). We all felt so sick afterwards that we've never done it again. Normally we just stick to bread and cheese. Anyway, I tried a German fondue this year made with Emmentaler and Smoked Gouda. We dipped bread cubes and smoked kielbasa in it! Yum! The flavor was great...however, the cheese took on a strange consistency that Kev and I weren't too fond of. We probably won't try that one again. Anyway it was fun as it always is.
I managed to finish my quilt today!!! It has been a long process (my first one), especially since Elinore came along. I am so excited to sleep under it tonight! Next project will have to be a couple of pillow shams...

Hey Jen
Myself and some friends did fondue a couple of months back and felt SOOO sick afterwards! We did a mature cheddar and white wine sauce with salami, bread and fresh uncooked veg and then a dessert of chocolate fondue with melon, strawberries and marshmallows.....we couldn't move afterwards. so much fun.....
Oooh how did you make the quilt, that looks awesome and I'd love to make one myself.
Hope all well
Love Emma x x
Emma,
Yeah, One fondue course is fine, but more than that is a doozy! Sounds wonderful though.
My sister-in-law helped me design the quilt. The big squares are 12"x12" and the little ones are 6"x6" (plus seam allowances). Just plain squares made it easier. I did a random pattern of about 6 different fabrics. I did everything on the machine except for the binding around the edge. I sort of worked on it here and there, which is why it took so long. I'll miss having it to work on when I have spare time.
Nen,
Thanks for the help!!
