Friday night sew in


The oozing lava cake


The caramel
My Friday night sew in was all about teaching my Mother-in-law how to use a rotary cutter and cutting squares. As well as eating Chocolate Lava Cake.

Margo has decided to make a patchwork quilt for her spare bed and asked me to teach her. So Friday night the cutting boards and rotary cutters were out in force cutting lots of 6.5" squares.

Amazing amount of cut squares
I had watched Rachel from The Little Paris Kitchen (my new most favourite programme) earlier in the day and made her Lava pots. Oozy caramel in the middle of amazing chocolate cake. Yum. I was proud of myself making my own caramel (I only had to discard one burnt lot!!!)

See my links page for the Friday linky parties I join.

    1. Hi Liz, I was given the jacket by Gillian who used to come to church. The cake really is a pudding that you do in individual ramakins - click the link for BBC food on the blog to go to her recipes. Or go to utube and put in little paris kitchen. Did you like the hoodies the boys were wearing at church, I am really pleased that they will wear wool.
