My other grandma, Arlene, kept one bedroom in her home very cool and stored things there. And the tins! I remember Grandma Audrey's tins.

In my grandmother's belong...Yes, the rosmaling! In my grandmother's belongings that I have is some old books with rosmaling patterns. And I agree with you about the time it took to make all of the Christmas goodies! My grandmother's home in Minneapolis had a walk up attic and of course it was always cool. She stored her cookies in tins on the steps. So I do that too but living in NC I do not have that nice Minnesota cold that I love so I have to adjust some but if cold enough at Christmas the tins I have kept from her and my mother go on the stairs to my bonus room that we don't heat in the winter unless the room is used for the evening. I hope you get to try some, maybe when you have grandchildren! And I am going to make your grandmother's cookie recipe. I love to bake!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730155543337896515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422397900451005798.post-24025325217771147392017-08-31T07:24:50.367-05:002017-08-31T07:24:50.367-05:00Thanks so much Hannah!

You may have interest in checking this mini quilt out :) I currently subscribe to the Ft. Worth Fabric Studio (as I'm also in Texas) and currently working on the Halloween Mystery Quilt she is doing. I enjoy all her projects she shares and seeing what is created weekly with the fat quarter bundles. Can't wait to see your WOW project! Thanks for sharing a sneak peak of the fabric and your family recipe, I will have to give it a try.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192444274569664687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422397900451005798.post-17302054786840201032017-08-30T18:01:01.020-05:002017-08-30T18:01:01.020-05:00Hi Susi!

Such good memories (and thanks for the ...Hi Karen! Such good memories (and thanks for the one you shared on IG too!) Every time I come across my Grandmother's recipes, I kick myself for not keeping these traditions alive better. I remember it like it was yesterday, going into her kitchen to spy the array of Christmas goodies she had laid out. Of course, as a girl, it never dawned on me how much time she must have taken to make all of that! This fabric is really pretty and will take you back! It reminded me Norwegian trinkets one of our neighbors had, as well as the rosemaling some of my dad's cousins did.

My grandmother was from Norway and I can still hear her say "Tanka" and "Ja". I too had Spritz, krumkake, julekake, and lefse and make some of them still. It is not the same without her though. I have been wanting some fabric for Christmas and can't wait to see what you make. Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730155543337896515noreply@blogger.com
