Mineral Matrix by Timeless Treasures and A Wing and a Prayer

This 104" x 104" quilt is made with 12 star blocks, pieced sashing and borders. The Tonga Quarry Collection offers a beautiful decorative palette of soft grays and mocha that shade into cool steel blues and rich warm browns, with a touch of dusty aqua. Delphine has finished the first 4 blocks and has started piecing the cornerstones and sashing. This is going to be one pretty quilt! We will be using the exact fabrics pictured and the price includes the pattern and all the fabric for the top and binding.
Cost per month for 9 months is $26.99 plus $5.00 per month for shipping, if needed. You will receive 2 blocks per month for the first 6 months and then the sashing, cornerstones and final borders the last 3 months.

Recipe of the Month
Little Quiches
These little quiches are perfect for lazy mornings when you don't feel like cooking. Just make up a batch, put them in the frig and pop them in the microwave to warm up when ready for a yummy breakfast!
Base:
- 12 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 TBSP fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 TBSP fresh basil, chopped (or other herb)
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
I just used dried herbs, 1 tsp of each. Also I just use milk.
Veggies*: All, some, or none. Up to you.
- 1 cup broccoli, cut into teeny tiny florets
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped small
- ¼-1/2 cup onion, diced fine
Add-ins (optional):
- 1½ cups cheddar, gruyere, mozzarella, or other cheese, divided
- 1 lb. bacon, sausage, or other meat, fully cooked (I used a cup of diced up ham)
INSTRUCTIONS
- If using meat (bacon, sausage, etc.), cook it fully first. Set it aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F., and thoroughly grease a muffin tin. (I have needed 18 – 24, depending on how much stuff is in the egg goop.)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Get all your veggies diced up and ready to go. Optionally, you can saute your onion, but I didn’t notice a big difference between weeks I did and weeks I didn’t.) Set aside and allow to cool.
- Add all the veggies to the bowl with the egg mixture, and stir to combine. Stir in half of the cheese, and all of the meat, if using.
- Using a ¼ cup measure to scoop the mixture into the muffin pan/s. Fill to about ¼ inch from the top, then sprinkle a small amount of reserved cheese over each. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and the cheese has just started to turn golden on top.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before running a butterknife around each one to loosen. Some of them are going to stick a bit anyway.
