A Texas Sized Onion

I don't think I've seen an onion this BIG before! One of my Sewing Guild sisters brought me some things from her garden. Among about 10 onions was THIS ONE. That's my fist next to it to give you some perspective. I'm going to have to make a double batch of spaghetti sauce just to use the entire onion!



OK, on to sewing. Not much of it has been going on here lately. Have been spending lots of time on yard work, and I have begun mowing the pasture. That project takes several days and I've just begun.

I did cut out another Louise Cutting "Pure and Simple Shell" yesterday from some silk charmeuse (I love the 'girly print') I purchased a few months ago. I'm planning to wear it with my black linen capris, and I'm hoping to make another pair of capris from some black silk twill that's in the stash. I have to finish fusing the interfacing to facings and then I'll be ready to sew. Maybe tomorrow I'll get to sit down at the machine.



Louise will be here (in Arlington) for the Martha Pullen Market. I plan to go to there on June 18 to take in all the sewing sites. Can't wait to see some of the fabric that Louise will bring.

  1. Yumm--onion rings! That's what I would make, if I knew how to make good ones! I LOVE Louise Cutting. She'll probably have a trunk show and you can try on her garments. You'll enjoy her.

  2. Cut half into onion rings. Chop the other half and put into a baggie - or two or three - and store in the freezer.

    What an onion that is!
    I love the shell fabric -still have not made up this pattern I bought. I was just looking at some pricey shells over at Cold Water Creek from black prints and thinking I need to find some time to sew. Oh you are so lucky to be near a sewing expo- I hope you'll snoop shop hard and tell us all about it especially the Cutting Line display. I have bought her dvds and five of her patterns that I need to do something with so I am a fan as well. mssewcrazy
