Design wall Monday and some baking.

Like most of blog land it seems I have succumbed and I have started Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt Celtic Solstice. My work and social commitments are busy so at the moment I get a bit done and move on to the next clue as it is released. My goal is to have the top finished before the next one begins. A year should be enough time I hope.

Anyhow this week Bonnie has us making pinwheels and half square triangles. I completed four pinwheel blocks on the weekend.

When I look at them I am a bit concerned that there may not be quite enough contrast but that is something to worry about much later.

I also did some baking the weekend. My friend Pennie gave me a treasured peanut butter cookie recipe. After mixing all the ingredients I had this lovely sticky mixture.

I couldn't resist the suggestion to add some chocolate chips so I added some to half the mixture.

Here is the finished product. A moment of panic when they came out of the oven as they were soft but five minutes cooling on the tray left me with a delicious crunchy cookie. I will definitely be making these again.
