Reward for a friend, More A's and B's............

I have a friend who did a favor for me and I asked what I could do in return. She thought for a day or so and said 'cookies!' and a day later 'and fudge'. Well I'm always looking for an excuse to make fudge! Yesterday morning while it was still 60 degrees outside I baked the cookies. I made the fudge last night, and friend, it is in the mail to you today! Enjoy!!
I had to go shopping yesterday to use some reward certificates that would expire on Friday. I was lucky and actually found something to use them on. Tuesday and Friday are my days to visit my dad; my brother goes on Sunday and Wednesday. So after I got home from visiting Dad I tried to find a backing for the hand dyed Streak of Lightning but didn't make any decision. I wanted to sew so I made 4 A blocks and 4 B blocks for the print fabric Streak of Lightning. Follow the link if you want to see all about A and B blocks.
Here are the 20 blocks that are completed. I will need at least 63 blocks for the size I want to make.

For the back of the hand dyed streaks of lighting quilt - have Vicki dye you a back then the quilt will be all her fabrics. The fudge - is that the kind with the marshmallow cream? It and the cookies look so good!

yum fudge and cookies! I think that is great that you and your brother take turns checking on your dad - I have tried to get my siblings to do the same as then mom would get frequent visit and no one would have to do most of the checking and can't get any cooperation! no one wants to be on a schedule - you are lucky your brother works with you on this.

Hear the huge sigh of pleasure all the way from Chicago?

I'll try to let you know the package is here before the contents have totally disappeared.

It's amazing what the blocks look like when you get them all grouped together. Very good.

Your treats look excellent. I am happy to enjoy them long-distance where they are calorie-free. :-).
