Hi!

I'm coming to you late this week because this past weekend was my birthday weekend. My daughter visited and we did so many fun things!

One thing we did was go to a cooking class at Sur La Table. The class was called Chef's Table and we learned how to cook scallops correctly, make risotto and dress a fennel salad. We also made small chocolate soufflés! The caramel sauce was made for us by the sous chef because of time constraints.

There were so many classes to choose from that it was hard to decide. But I love the choice I made. Dinner was delicious!

One of the classes I also wanted to take was a baking class. So to make up for not being able to take it too, my daughter and I decided to challenge ourselves at home by making danish!

It was a very involved process that we stretched over a few days. But man was it worth it--they taste so good!

My takeaway from this weekend was to never stop learning, and to never stop pushing yourself. As I thought about it I realized that is how I designed my quilting membership--the My Quilty Neighborhood--as a place where you can continue learning and challenging yourself artistically as a quilter.

Maybe I should add a baking section to the membership. My only fear is the effect on my waistline! 😂
