Lakeshore Hosta with Jen with Jen

Jen will be teaching this 6-week class on foundation paper piecing using a pattern by Judy Niemeyer called Lakeshore Hosta.  If you've tried foundation paper piecing in the past and really enjoyed having exact points then this class is for you!  The class will cover how to read the pattern, cutting for all sections of the quilt, piecing curves, piecing straight lines, and assembly of the top. 
This quilt finishes at 74" x 74".

Ursula and Emily Purse with Kathy

Kathy has made 6 of these super cute purses (with so many pockets!!!) and she is excited to show you just how fun they are to make.  This is a 2-week class which will go in-depth on understanding the pattern, the fusing and cutting process and then purse assembly.  This is a great way to learn how to put zippers in purses and Kathy will share with you her tips/tricks and shortcuts along the way.  We're sure you'll want to make another when you finish.

Recipe of the Month

Blueberry Bars

Mustikkapiirakka

Butter Crust Dough
In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 cup sugar.  Using an electric mixer or wooden spoon, blend in 1 cup room temperature butter.  Add 1 egg and continue mixing until a pliable dough forms.  Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2 cups fresh or frozen, unsweetened blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 TB lemon juice
1 TB grated lemon peel
2 Tbs cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1 TB sugar

1. In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel, cornstarch and salt.  Over low heat, stir until mixture is blended.  Increase heat to medium.  Stirring constantly, cook until thickened.  Cool to room temperature.
2.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking pan; set aside.
3.  Divide chilled dough into 3/4 and 1/4 portions.  On a lightly floured surface, roll out large portion to  15-by11-inch rectangle for bottom crust.  Roll dough around rolling pin; unroll into prepared baking pan.  Dough will cover the bottom of the pan and extend 1 inch up each side.
4.  Spoon cooled filling into pastry.  Roll out reserved dough, 1 /4 inch thick; cut into 1/2" strips.  Criss-cross strips over blueberry filling to make a lattice top.  Sprinkle with 1 TB sugar.
5. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lattice is golden brown.  Cool to room temperature.
