Hexagon Quilts by Wendy Caton Reed
At our local Area 3 meeting, our speaker, Wendy Caton Reed shared a few of her period hexie projects and I thought you might enjoy to see them. I love her use of border fabrics to make the quilt so special!

Kathleen's Scallop Casserole
Believe it or not, I was cleaning out my floppy disks (I had to buy an adapter to use on my laptop) and found my old recipes from the late 80's.
This recipe is RICH, but worth every calorie! You might find it perfect for a special occasion, but here in New England, I used to make it a couple times a month. You can always sub lobster or another type of seafood. Time for me to go shopping...
2 lbs. small scallops
1 ¼ sticks of real butter (no substitutes!)
1 pint all purpose cream (or light cream); warmed
10-12 Ritz crackers (or any other buttery tasting cracker)
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
¼ tsp. celery salt
½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Dash hot pepper sauce (optional)
4 heaping tbsp. white flour
Melt 1 stick of butter in a skillet. Add scallops and
spices; cook over low heat 8-10 minutes. Blend in the flour; add warmed cream.
Cook 2-3 minutes or until it comes to a boil. Remove and pour into a 2-quart
casserole dish. Melt remaining butter in small saucepan; add crumbed crackers
and stir. Sprinkle cracker mixture over the top of casserole.
Bake at 425 degrees, covered for
10 minutes. Uncover; bake an additional 5 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes
before serving.
This is great served over rice pilaf with green peas. Tastes
even better the second day!
