Redwork, Toile and Scones

My niece D and I are doing a project together, sort of..;-)
It is a stitchery and pieced quilt.
I am doing mine as red work (DMC 498).
Here is my first finished basket.

She is doing hers in black work (DMC 310) like the pattern below.
Will be so pretty!

She bought the pattern and her black toile fabric at the Feb quilt show.
I have enough red toile in my stash( I hope) to do mine.
I have started work on my second basket.
They do go rather quickly using one color.
We ( me) did change the flowers a bit, maybe a goodly bit,
but not the baskets or over all look ...;-)


Yesterday I got an urge for scones.
Just out of the blue!
So made a few to go with my tea!
I added Italian Blend Cheese and Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb Seasoning Blend.
Just used a basic recipe then added a 1/2 tsp herb blend and maybe a 1/2 cp of the cheese.
I did not measure!
A savory scone that was yummy with butter and my cuppa Twinings Earl Grey!
