The Cookbook is being created as a fundraising effort to help off-set some of the costs associated with running the Quilting Gallery site and to fund new community-based features planned for 2010. Please help support the community!

I’ve been working this week on a new feature for the Quilting Gallery site: a Quilter’s Cookbook, to be available for sale early in December as a downloadable PDF file.

Early next week, you’ll be able to submit your family-favourite recipes for inclusion in the Cookbook. You’ll also be able to include a short story about the recipe, a photo of your favourite quilt and a story to go with the quilt. It’ll truly be a Quilter’s Cookbook.

The theme for the Cookbook is Quick and easy recipes, so we can get back to quilting. I’m looking for recipes in the following categories:

• Appetizers and Snacks
• Soups and Salads
• Main Dishes
• Quilter’s Sweet Treats (Desserts)
• Beverages
• Other Goodies

I’m really excited about this, and can’t wait to read everyone’s recipes and quilt stories. Please don’t send me your recipe in email. The submission forms will be available early next week for you to submit all the information on-line.

Start looking through your recipes and photos of a favourite quilt you’ve made or one made by a family member.

More info next week!
