Because I discovered a million new/old craft ideas when I cleaned out the Craft Binder of Disaster I found this pattern for patchwork placemats. Off to Joann's I went with some coupons hot in my hand and I came home with this fabric. Love it! I ended up buying just plain cotton solid fabric for the main fabric, but in my mind you cannot go wrong with that and a fat quarter bundle for the patchwork parts. I was not originally going to buy the fat quarter bundle, but these colors looked so...autumnal...to me. I am very pleased with how the placemats are coming out .... so much that I doubled the amount I am making and giving them to two people. I think I'm going back to get more fabric so make even more (perhaps different colors) because they are so simple, yet so beautiful.In the kitchen my mind has been flying. Gardens are full and we are on the receiving end of the bounty. Grammie's tomatoes are actually red so I got a whole bunch when I was there yesterday for an impromptu lunch to celebrate a small little thing like MY CONTRACT GETTING RENEWED FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR. Of course, mine are still an awesome shade of kelly green. While making the yummiest zucchini quiche my neighbor of Garbage Bag of Spinach fame showed up with eggplants and green peppers. Who is having sauteed tomatoes and eggplant tonight for dinner??
I have to share this zucchini quiche recipe...it's really yummy. Grammie's Zucchini Quiche
4 c. thinly sliced zucchini
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 tbl. butter (I used olive oil)
2 eggs (I used one egg and two egg whites)
2 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. garlic powder, dried basil, oregano, salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 c. shredded mozzarella (I used 1 c. shredded cheddar)
1 tsp. mustard
1 pastry shell (I made mine crustless)
I'm stopping here...Now I know why my Grammie's recipes never taste the same when I make them...I make a completely different recipe!
Ok, saute zucchini and onion in butter until tender; drain in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, parsley, salt, garlic powder, basil, oregano, and pepper together. Whisk in mustard. Layer zucchini and cheese in pie pan. Pour egg mixture over top. Bake uncovered (yet with a pan underneath so your oven stays clean) at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until knife in the center comes out clean and crust (if you have one!) is golden brown. Let stand for five minutes and serve.

Love those placemats! I feel like crafting for autumn, too....and I'm on the lookout for something orange to sew, lol! Love the color combo you chose....they look beautiful and what an awesome gift they'll be!
Oh, and I love quiche, too.....this one sounds wonderful - thanks for sharing the recipe - I'll definitely give it a try very, very soon!

That looks like a perfect August recipe. Thanks. And I'm a huge fan of all things patchwork - I'll be making those placemats sometime very soon!
yeah! Congrats on the contract renewal.
That quiche looks soooo good! As I was reading the recipe I was trying to figure out how I could make it vegan. I hate soy cheese and a cup of it would be a lot. Hmmm, must figure that out.

That sounds delicious! Congratulations on the year's job! Only a few more weeks to go. I remember I always loved being in the classroom before the kids came in on the first day and messed everything up! I'll have to read back and find out what position you hold at school.
Very pretty. Love Joann's
The placemats are going to look excelllent, you have to show us when they are all finished. Super congrats on the school contract. Is this for you speech therapist position? Tell me more, hehe. So I know what I am having for dinner, that quiche looks amazing.

Congratulations on a renewed contract!!!
Love the placemats - a beautiful combination of colours! And congratulations on your renewed contract! :)
That quiche looks incredible, and I am definitely, absolutely, without a doubt, going to make that as soon as I have the stuff! And the placemats are great. I've been getting an urge to quilt (it's been years). We've got an amazing quilt shop in the area with rooms and rooms of cool fabrics. I'm on my way...

The quiche looks fabulous.
And I'm so impressed with the placemats! I think I'll give them a try and make some for a Christmas present.
Thanks for the inspiration!
And congrats on the contract renewal. :)
Thanks for the recipe and for your comment on my blog! :) I was going to link to your post too but forgot (whoops). I actually haven't made it yet-- am making it AS WE SPEAK. The hubby bought yellow squash instead of zucchini, but it will still be great, I'm sure. xo
So happy to have landed on your site while searching for a zucchini quiche recipe. It's baking as I write this; I followed your lead by making it crustless and with one less egg. Thank you for making this available!
