Ikea Sewing Table Hack for Janome 7700. I found the basic plans for this table at Blue Dinosaurs. Similar plans are also available at MakeItHandmade. The best thing to do to any furniture from Ikea is bore a hole in it. I set my machine back a bit from the edge of the table, so that I will have more space to support a quilt when I am finishing the top. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Janome Horizon 7700 Review. After six months now with the machine, I have added some updates to my review. Details are at the end of this posting, but in a word my current assessment of the machine: more of a mixed bag than I expected. A bit of background:. So about the machine itself, to start with the best:. I am waiting on some helping hands so I can take a good picture of the whole quilt in sunlight, but in the meantime here is a detail to give an idea of the quilted wavy line stitches. Honestly ever...

Here is a link to the. One skein knits up a lengthy scarf. The yarn is more challenging to handle than I anticipated. I knitted a K1P1 rib on size 7 needles. Nothing special, but the open texture of the fabric suits I think the weight of the yarn and especially the fuzzy floating quality of the mohair. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Is the Beeswax Coating in the Canneles Molds Worth the Trouble? A few weeks ago I was sitting on my sofa eating some Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby ice cream and watching ABC's Extreme Weight Loss when I thought, must try and make some canneles and see what is the fuss all about. The answer so far: a lot of fuss indeed. I decided to make a half-commitment and ordered six of the copper molds and one of the better silicone molds, plus some beeswax. Links to this post.

I Ate What I Am: Ethiopian Truffles

http://iatewhatiam.blogspot.com/2015/02/ethiopian-truffles.html

When I saw her recipe for what she calls " Ethiopian Truffles. The name makes no sense. but the cookie is lovely. The recipe says to bake the cookies at 375, but I found it browned them too much, so instead I baked them at 325. That way they remained ivory with just a touch of brown on the bottoms. Also it helps to keep the center of the filling moist. For the filling I pulsed together equal weights (8 oz) of Gianduja and almond meal. I will add a good teaspoon of fleur du sel.
