I made my old fashioned Santa with a ruched beard and eyebrows. His bag and apples were done with padded applique, and I created his little tree with several different embroidery stitches.
​Hand appliqued, hand quilted. 1991

Most people like pecan pie for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I have my grandmother's pecan pie recipe, but this variation has always been a family favorite. She called it Oatmeal Pie, which might not seem too exciting, but it has the sticky sweet taste of pecan pie with the added flavor of coconut. It's delish!

Grandma Peterson’s Oatmeal Pie*

3/4 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs

Mix all together and pour into an unbaked pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until well browned on top.

    Anita has a long background rooted in traditional handwork and quiltmaking, which she still enjoys.

    Often, these days, you'll find her digitizing patterns for the Statler Stitcher and other computerized longarm quilting machines. 
     
    Her summer days are spent in the garden and she loves finding new ways to prepare good veggie-based meals.


    She's always in search of a way to balance all of those activities and find time to share with others who are passionate about the same things.

    This page is a sneak peek into what's happening in her world right now.
